“Your ‘best’ #cops shot my baby” - Nakala Murry Tell me why.... 11 year old Aderrien Murry calls the police around 4 am as his mother is in domestic danger, police officer Greg Capers and partner arrives around 6 am and shoots the innocent unarmed 11 year old whose hands were up, who called the police to save his mother, and officer Capers is still working... The Body Cam footage is being held.... The mayor is being quiet... The police chief, Ronald Sampson, was unavailable to provide assistance three days after the shooting. Four days after the shooting, Murry told CNN that “no one came to the hospital from the police station” nor had she spoken to any police investigators about the shooting..... What is being protected? For the Dumb-ones who are gonna' comment.... There is always uproar when community members and community-criminals hurt community members. When Pookie shoots Ray-Ray, Pookie is arrested and goes to jail, even if it was accidental. The shooting of an unarmed boy in his home after he had called 911 to report a domestic disturbance has triggered calls from family and the wider community for Mr Capers to be fired, and for a thorough Department of Justice investigation into the Indianola Police Department. Aderrien’s mother Nakala Murry told a news conference she had asked her son to call 911 after her former partner showed up “irate” at the family’s home on BB King Road at around 4am on 20 May. Ms Murry said that two officers arrived at around 6am and ordered everyone inside to come out. Aderrien was following his mother out of the house when he was shot in the chest by a police officer in the living room. The police department later confirmed to CNN that Mr Capers had discharged his weapon. In May 2021, he was named Policeman of the Year by the police force, according to an article in Indianola’s local newspaper the Enterprise-Tocsin. Aderrien was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries including a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and lacerated liver. Aderrien has since been released from hospital. Family attorney Carlos Moore told The Independent that the city was stonewalling their requests for bodycam footage to be released, and had not offered an apology or an explanation. As KRS-ONE asks, Who protects us from you? Again... For the Dumb-ones who are gonna' comment.... There is uproar when community criminals hurt community members. When Pookie shoots Ray-Ray, Pookie is arrested and goes to jail, even if it was accidental. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said it is investigating the shooting that happened at 6 a.m. Saturday at the home on BB King Road. “No officers were injured during the incident. A minor occupant of the residence received significant injuries and has been transported to a local hospital,” it said. “MBI is currently assessing this critical incident and gathering evidence. Upon completing the investigation, agents will share their findings with the Attorney General’s Office,” the agency said. It did not provide additional details. The Indianola Police Department referred questions about the incident to the city attorney, who did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. The officer who opened fire was not identified by the agency or the police department. But Indianola Alderman Marvin Elder said that officer Greg Capers had been placed on paid administrative leave after a unanimous Indianola Council vote. #GetOnCode #SomethingGottaGive #police #PoliceAccountability #policethepolice #WhoProtectsUsFromYou? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-on-code/message
