The way police in urban area USA, have been treating the community, you would think that we are back in the 1950 and 1960's but except rogue cops are imploring force without the German sheppard dogs as well as fire hoses. There is no “police accountability” In Philadelphia, Pa, and SEPTA bus driver shot dead by a Philadelphia police officer. (Eric Crawley)
Crawley had a gun, which he was licensed to carry, in a holster.
Lt. Raymond Evers, a police spokesman, said officers responding to the dispute warned Crawley not to pull his gun, but he removed it from his holster. Every time there is a confrontation with cops and African-Americans, in most cases, the cops respond to us with aggression. You cannot tell me that these cops do not need ethics and cultural training. They live or work in a diverse community. Crawley's mother told reporters Thursday evening in front of her son's house in the Cedar brook section, that he had not taken out his gun. What’s strange is,
Family members said they wanted to clarify what they described as a coerced statement that Crawley's 18-year-old sister, Danielle, had given police. They said she had indicated that he had his gun drawn.
"They told her, frightened her, that she would be exposed to DHS [Department of Human Services], which would take her child from her," said Darryle Crawley Sr., Eric Crawley's father.
"She would be stripped of her clothes if she didn't tell the truth, and placed in a cell and left there forever," he said police told Danielle Crawley. "And this child, being young and inexperienced, was frightened, and they coerced the whole interrogation”. This is why we must stand together in a community and speak up and speak out against this matter of police brutality. The justice system in many cases, have proven to be flawed and need correction.
