To the ACLU, literally every racial disparity is a racial justice issue except the massively (and increasingly) disparate number of Black people being being shot and killed in America. https://t.co/QZz7uhg9rx

Minneapolis area:

This Map shows all carjackings in Minneapolis this year. Almost 1% of the city’s population has now had their car taken from them. We need a sheriff who will not only be vocal that this is not OK, but will also take action and stop this crime wave.https://t.co/s6ViiT2FbB pic.twitter.com/F5yYSFBhJ5

The 5-year-old shot by a 13-year-old inside a home in Brooklyn Park on Nov. 25 has been identified as Lamar Antonio Scott of Gary Indiana.

The teen was reportedly making a social media video when he "accidentally" shot the child in the head.

on Chicago & Mayor Lightfoot:

That's a lie.

Carjackings aren't at 25 year lows. Here is the year to date data from CPD's latest internal report.

Sexual assaults are up 27% vs last year. Thefts up 18% vs last year. Motor vehicle theft up 6% vs. last year.

The mayor is lying. Not mistaken. Lying. https://t.co/YkeU7r94rY pic.twitter.com/d8uSAfwkcP

On Philadelphia:

There have been 521 homicides this year in Philadephia. That's not only 21 more than the city's all-time record, in 1991, with several weeks still to go before year's end; it's also *more than double* the city's tally for each year between 2013 and 2016. https://t.co/4e6VxjTiyz pic.twitter.com/yK9u4UhPuL

for those who don't click and presume things based on a photo of Lloyd, the photo below depicts Seth Clayton, husband, and Francine Thomas, cousin, of slain Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton react to the jury’s recommendation of the death penalty for defendant Markeith Loyd in Orange circuit court, Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Loyd was convicted in the slaying Lt. Clayton in 2017. (Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel) (Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel)

related excerpt:

Outside the courthouse, Clayton’s husband said the jury’s verdict was “bittersweet.”

“It’s not going to bring Debra back,” Seth Clayton said.

One of Clayton’s sisters, Ashley Thomas, said, “Justice was served.”

“It doesn’t bring Debra back but we’re a bit relieved,” she said. “... I felt like she was there with us. I just felt her presence. I’ll always miss her. She got justice today.”

also note

During the trial, prosecutors argued Loyd had lived his life blaming others for his criminal actions in at least 10 violent felonies, including both the Clayton and Dixon killings.

But Loyd’s defense attorneys said jurors should consider the mitigating circumstances in Loyd’s life, including a rough childhood and being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis and a delusional disorder.

Link has video of the CPD press conference. Excerpt:

[....] Police credit the quick work and cooperation of the Chinatown community with apprehending the suspect. CPD arrested Joyner minutes after the shooting on the Kennedy Expressway. A handgun and an extended magazine were recovered.

Joyner later tested positive for gunshot residue.

“Safety is often cited as one of the most important issues that the community cares about, so whenever something like this happens it is devastating, so we were glad in this case that it was solved so quickly,” said Grace Chen McKibben, executive director of Coalition for Better Chinese American Community (CBCAC).

A motive is unknown. Police said Joyner immediately invoked his right to silence, declining to speak with investigators.

Chicago police did not rule out Joyner’s involvement in other hate crimes and random acts of violence on the North Side. But at this time, police say they don’t have any direct links to Joyner in those cases

Joyner has a previous criminal history. According to police, the 23-year-old suspect has been arrested four times, twice for gun offenses.

The shooting happened in the same block where Haines Elementary School is located. Witnesses said that children at the school were going to recess at the time of the shooting.

Officials: Man killed, U.S. marshal's deputy wounded in shooting (serving a warrant)

By A.P. via MSN.com, 1 day ago

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man inside a home in Ohio's capital exchanged gunfire Wednesday with members of a United States Marshal's task force that was serving a warrant at the residence, leaving the man dead and a deputy wounded, authorities said.

The man began firing from inside a closet as the officers were taking the subject of the warrant into custody, striking the deputy in the upper torso, a marshal’s service spokesman said.

At least one officer returned fire, and the man was shot at least once. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The shooting in Columbus occurred around 9:20 a.m., shortly after marshals and members of the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Task Force arrived at the home.

The subject of the warrant and others in the home were taken into custody. Authorities have not provided details about why the person was wanted or other details about the case, citing the ongoing investigation.

[....]

The shooting comes about a year after another man, Casey Goodson Jr., was shot and killed in Columbus during a similar task force operation. The sheriff’s deputy in that case was charged with murder and has pleaded not guilty.

The U.S. Attorney for D.C. says it found no evidence that D.C. police used excessive force when they shot and killed Vedo Hall in Southeast in May. Body-camera footage was never released, because the family objected. Story on the shooting: https://t.co/9o1sP1YIXp pic.twitter.com/ewwpvpAnQ5

Black Lives Matter will continue to work towards the abolition of police and every unjust system. We will continue to love and protect one another, and wrap our arms around those who do the work to usher in Black freedom and, by extension, freedom for everyone else.
