Salam,
A young brother was shot and killed. According to the MPD his death is justifiable because he was using his car as a weapon against the police.
If what they are saying is true, would it not make sense for them to shoot at the tires of the car to reduce the threat, rather than shooting at him multiple times resulting in his death?
Its time we speak out against these incidents. Yeah the car might have been stolen, but that's somebody's life they just took away. As the witness said, " why couldn't they shoot at his tires?" Its time we demand answers from these very law enforcements who were put there to protect us, rather than killing our sons.
My fellow Somali family, let us join hands and make sure that our voice is heard. We cannot let this be another shooting, and as the headline of the story tells you, the media is quick to twist things.
Together we can seek our rights as a community, who won't take this as yet another young boy who wanted to inflict harm.
Here's the link to the story and please tell me there's no bias in the reporting?
