There will be another “vigil, march and FTP” tonight to protest the NYPD killing of Kimani Gray. Please RSVP on Facebook and invite your NYC friends.
16 year old Kimani “Kiki” Gray was shot 11 times on Saturday by two undercover police officers. Kimani, who begged for his life, told the police “Please don’t let me die,” to which they responded “Stay down, or we’ll shoot you again.”
The police say Kimani was armed but witnesses who attended yesterdays protest say the undercover officers hopped into their car after shooting Kimani and “drove off”, which is definitely against protocol and extremely suspicious to say the least.
Reblog this post to spread the news and if you’re in NYC and will be attending today’s protest, don’t forget to RSVP to the event page.
I’m reposting for those who may have missed it. There will be another protest today at 7pm. It won’t be raining for the rest of the day so don’t let that be an excuse. We are expecting a crowd twice as large as yesterday’s protest. Over 300 have joined the FB event and about another 100 more community members will be attending. You should too.
There will be another protest tonight @ 7. It will be the third protest in a row and the family will be there today. If you can come out, we’re meeting at 55th and Church.

Police: Gunman wounds 3 at Alabama hospital →
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Authorities in Alabama say a man opened fire in a hospital, wounding an officer and two employees before he was fatally shot by police.
Birmingham Police Sgt. Johnny Williams says the officer and employees suffered injuries that are not considered life-threatening.
Williams says police were called because a man with a gun was walking through St. Vincent’s Hospital on Saturday morning. When he was confronted by officers, he started shooting and wounded one of the officers. That’s when the second officer shot and killed the man.
Detectives are still working to determine why the armed man was in the hospital.
