A Kent Police officer shot and killed a 20-year-old Giovonn Joseph-McDade and all the media decided to remain silent about this case.
The Des Moines police, who are conducting the investigation into the shooting, say McDade—later identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s office—failed to stop the car he was driving for the officer, then, after the PIT( pursuit intervention technique ), attempted to “ram” one of the officers who responded to the scene.
Friends and family of Giovonn have raised questions about the police narrative, stating that version of events doesn’t match his personality or character. I won’t be surprised if this is just another case, where police officers are trying to cover the whole thing up. That’s just a typical behavior when they kill another innocent black man.
We haven’t seen the dashcam footage, we haven’t heard the witnesses, we haven’t even seen the media highlighting this case, so probably there is something to hide.
We demand justice for Giovonn Joseph-McDade.
