This Saturday marked 8 years since NYPD killed #SaheedVassell in a hail of bullets in broad daylight. Saheed had been experiencing mental health complexities but was met with armed cops instead of care.
Saheed should be alive. Today + everyday, we send love to his family. #RestInPower #NeverForget
This was a historic victory, but @newyorkstateag.bsky.social has largely failed to live up to her mandate. She's only sought 5 indictments for NYPD officers since taking office - choosing NOT to indict the NYPD officers who killed #SaheedVassell, #AllanFeliz, #WinRozario + too many others.
THIS 👇👇👇is an abomination!That really looks like it could be mistaken for an effing gun by anyone not on mass quantities of drugs. Police got away with murder AND MSM did NOT even tell us about it. I know for a fact b/c while I pay attention to Black murders, I feel mentally ill ones. #SaheedVassell
Police Shooting Deaths Should be a Nationwide Health Equity Priority

“I want to make it clear Saheed came from a good family and they had no right to shoot him down, and he was not a gunman.”
.@SenatorHamilton “having a mental health issue shouldn’t be a death sentence.” #SaheedVassell
It never ceases to amaze me how often people are killed over fear and ingrained views on race. #StephonClark shouldn't have been murdered for holding a cell phone. #SaheedVassell shouldn't have been murdered for holding a pipe.
