Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Sometimes our daily walk takes us down a block to Columbia Avenue where it intersects with Douglas Avenue. There is a park, Douglas Park, built by the Civil Conservation Corps in 1936, with rock walkways and walls, beautiful gardens, lawned areas with picnics tables and benches, and a view of Grand Coulee Dam. You can read about the Civil…

#rekiaboyd was hanging out with her friends outside in Chicago in March 2012. Three weeks after #trayvon was killed. She was an innocent bystander and the officer who was driving by, was in plainclothes and off-duty. He requested they keep the noise down. Rekia's boyfriend approached the car taking out his cellphone which was mistaken for a gun, and the officer fired 5 times from his car shooting the young man in the hand but Rekia was hit in the head and died the next day. The officer still lives across the street from the murder site. In 2015, after the verdict the #sayhername campaign* was launched to begin to focus on girls and women killed by police. Although the officer was aquitted for involuntary manslaughter, reckless discharge of a firearm, and reckless conduct, he retired right before would have gotten fired in May 2016. In November 2019, he put in a bid to expunge his record and testified that he had been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. (I BET A LOT OF THESE TRIGGER HAPPY COPS HAVE THIS AND IT GOES UNCHECKED!!)🤬 Character witnesses spoke and his numerous awards from 25 years of service were mentioned, but his record was not expunged which didnt't mean he couldn't work in law enforcement again -- but this may change in light of recent events post #georgefloyd It is also interesting to note that the officer approached the Rekia's older brother Martinez and they had a half hour conversation before the hearing. They discussed forgiveness and how the incident had impacted he and his family. Martinez stated, "Everybody's looking for closure, everybody..I wanted to hear him out, what he had to say. He wanted to hear what I had to say..I'm going to build something positive." Martinez still did not think his record should be expunged or he should get his pension. #rekia #douglaspark #chicago *According to #naacplegaldefensefund between 1999-2015, 20% of unarmed POC killed by law enforcement were women. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfHP15JSmm/?igshid=qfsp6uh9054r
