South Florida cops claimed they were “forced to fire” at a 32-year-old Black man named Donald Taylor in August because he was armed and would not follow commands.
But newly surfaced video contradicts those claims, showing the Black man walking away from cops with his hands raised to his sides showing no gun in his hand when a Hollywood police officer fired a single shot as Taylor had his back turned to the cops, killing him.
It should become obvious to yankies by now that they need both state wide and federal police reform, starting with federal law and defining consequences for not only police officials, but for representatives, should police abuse power - and that it has a cascade effect upwards.
