Shutting It Down For Alex Nieto
Community Members Lock Arms and Surround SFPD Mission Station for Four Hours
As community members mark the one-year anniversary of the police killing of Alex Nieto, none of the four San Francisco police officers involved in Alex’s death face any charges. In response, Stop Police Impunity held a peoples’ court in front of the SFPD's Mission District station on March 23. This trial complete with a peoples’ judge, jury, and prosecutor found all four officers guilty. Demonstrators locked themselves together, and the entire block of Valencia in front of the police station was blocked for four hours.
Patricia Jackson writes: On March 21, 2014, Alex Nieto, a SF native, full-time student, and intern at Youth Guidance, was shot down by Police who responded to a 911 call about a “conspicuous person” in Bernal Heights Park. Alejandro Nieto, in the park on his lunch break, wore a Taser required for his job. Once again, the police used their mantra, a gun was pulled and we feared for our lives.” Witnesses state however they did not see Alex with a gun.... The SFPD, Mayor Lee, and District Attorney Gascon have lost credibility in the community. Consistently, cops are given impunity after killings.
