Stolen Lives March Against Police Brutality
A march was held today in downtown Fresno protesting police brutality. Protestors say Fresno police officers have been shooting and brutalizing people in the community with impunity. They are demanding police accountability, an independent investigation into several recent incidents, and the resignation of Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer. 3:22 minute video below was filmed and produced by Simone Whalen-Rhodes.
Today’s march stopped at the following three locations to protest their involvment with the lack of police accountability:
* The Fresno County District Attorney’s office failure to investigate Fresno Police Department’s officer involved shooting.
* Fresno Police Headquarters to protest Chief Jerry Dyer’s ten years of terror on poor people.
* Fresno City Hall to protest the Council and Mayor and City Manager for their lack of leadership on providing oversight and allowing the continuation of profiling of low wage workers and seizure of their vehicles.
