DESCRIPTION:Don't let the police and corporate media continue to depict Lavelle as 
 subhuman.\n \nIf the police and white/black/brown bourgeoisie were serious 
 about "healing the community" they would include Mixon in there pleas, not 
 just recite the names of the police officers.\n\nThe media has been 
 reporting all kinds of unconfirmed allegations about Lavelle--details the 
 public is in no position to prove or disprove--relying solely on police 
 reports.  The corporate media has not corroborated police reports before 
 disseminating them.  The media needs to also report on the police officers' 
 histories, specifically on how many officer-involved shootings they were a 
 part of.\n\nFor example, we know already that Sergeant Pat Gonzales, the 
 fifth police officer shot but not seriously injured by Mixon, fired and 
 killed Gary King Jr. (age 20), Joshua Russell (age 19), and made a 
 quadriplegic of Ameir Rollins (age 17).  How many officer-involved 
 shootings had the now deceased officers been engaged in?  Importantly, all 
 of the officers resided in Bay Area suburbs, not in Oakland.  Why has this 
 important context that would shed light on not only the Mixon situation, 
 but the broader tensions with OPD, not been explicitly reported?\n
