At Rahm's house - isn't residential protesting banned by Ordinance?
- Five days after a Chicago police officer shot and killed Harith “Snoop” Augustus, protesters brought their cries for justice, and a letter laying out their demands, to the front steps of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Ravenswood home.
“There is no reason that Rahm Emanuel should get to sit in his ivory tower, unscathed and unbothered by this moment,” said Tanya Watkins, an organizer with Southsiders Organized for Unity and Liberation. “His neighbors, his friends, his colleagues and community members cannot turn a blind eye to the injustice taking place in communities of color and the abuse we are suffering at the hands of CPD.”
At last count:
- 248 gun homicides in Chicago; 1,300 maimed
- 4 killed and 9 wounded by police
That works out to 1.6% of all the dead can be laid at the feet of police along with 0.69% of the wounded. In other words, of the people walking around (or buried) with extra lead in their system, a mere 0.83% is the result of an encounter with CPD.
The lies just keep on coming. Listen here dumbass - the police account for UNDER ONE PERCENT of the totals. Now go look up the numbers for black offenders. You might be surprised.
- “You hold no one accountable for black death in this city except for the dead,” said Hesna Boukom, with the Southsiders group, addressing Emanuel. “For you, for these aldermen, for police, all Harith had to do was be black to deserve to die and we’re not going to stand for that.”
