Metropolitan Police Kill an Unarmed Black Man

We need to find our collective voice on this and sooner than later. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Force killed a man who came to them saying, he was being chased and needed help.”  He took off running and the police took off after him.  After approaching a vehicle in the street, after leaving the Venetian Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, the police officer shocked the man with a taser.  The man was shocked 6 more time with is 4 more than allowed by the police department.  Following the excessive tasing the man was repeatedly punched in the head and face area by the police officer.  The final move was a reverse chock hold that is not allowed by the metropolitan Police Department.  The man had not committed a crime and was not charged. The officer is on paid leave.  There needs to be a news conference with our specific demands for change.  We will discuss what some of those changes should be.
