Grandfather of slain 11-year-old says BLM ignores ‘black-on-black crime’

The grandfather of an 11-year-old killed in Washington, D.C. has tough words about the politicization of violence:

"Black lives matter it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person."

The child's mother is a violence interrupter. https://t.co/DrKSEl538X

The grandfather of Davon McNeal, the 11yo boy shot & killed in SE DC last night, cried, pleading for parents to step-up.

Davon’s other grandfather tells me the family moved out of the neighborhood bc of the violence. They still have family here & mom threw a July 4th ‘stop the violence’ type cookout. John Ayala says 11yo Davon was only dropping by to pick up a charger & ear buds when shots rang out pic.twitter.com/YZdU6v2JSv

John Ayala, tells @fox5dc he’s 11-year-old Davon McNeal’s paternal grandfather. Ayala says his grandson dreamed of being in the NFL & that everyone’s just tired of shootings in the community. He also mentions the Black Lives Matter protests in part of his interview. @fox5dc pic.twitter.com/ajrX7q5YkO

Mayor Bowser's press conference today, thougt it says "Covid 19 Situational Update" it starts with John Alaya standing next to her and "let me start by addressing what happened in our community Saturday night..." It includes an update from the Chief of Police, who happens to have white skin. The Covid update is treated as secondary.
