Large Riot Breaks Out In Brooklyn During Vigil For Teen Shot 11 Times By Police

Before It’s News – by Russia Today

Police intervened when more than a hundred people joined in a candlelit vigil in the East Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, where 16-year-old Kimani Gray was shot 11 times by police on Saturday, according to RussiaToday

Brooklynites on Twitter reported that police followed the march and searched apartment buildings in the neighborhood without warrants, looking for children who had been seen throwing bottles at police from neighborhood rooftops.   

March participants chanted “NYPD KKK how many kids will you kill today,” people report from the scene.

“I’m in the middle of the riot action at Church and Snyder in my district. Right now, things are tense,” New York City Councilman Jumaane D. Williams, who represents the area, said on Twitter.

Sixteen-year-old Kimani Gray was shot and killed on Saturday night after, police say, pointing a gun at approaching cops.

According to the officers involved in the shooting, the teenager adjusted his belt “suspiciously,” and after they exited their vehicle to investigate, he pointed a .357 caliber revolver at them. Both officers fired at the suspect, hitting Gray eleven times in his torso and legs.

Witnesses say Gray, who was running for his life when he was shot, did not have a gun. “Stay down, or we’ll shoot you again,” police said once Gray had been hit, according to The New York Times.

After the shooting Gray was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

  1. People, it’s time we take back our country. Enough of this shit. The government has gotten way out of control. It’s time to put them in their place and show them who’s really in charge.

    This is OUR country! This is OUR land! It’s time WE THE PEOPLE take back our country and once again BE FREE!!!

  2. Hey NC, I’m at Diggerdan’s today to check stuff and shoot the B.S. We both agree wholeheartedly with your statement. I’m so damn tired of police abuse and the corrupt judges and politicians that let these “psychos with badges” literally get away with murder. Millard

  3. …when the time comes…it will be important not to engage these creatures on their own turf…do not attack the attackers, nor use violence as an instigator of action…let them do it…they have no moral or legal legitimacy..and they know that when the decent people of this country regain control…we are going to hang the traitors…so they will do anything to justify their violence ..and then blame us for the need to attack…use as much non-violence as is possible…but when they come to attack …retreat …and then re-appear…over and over again…in the richest neighborhoods in town…disturb the wealthy and the powerful where they live, play and work… make it expensive as hell for them just to feel safe… ….do not take action against the “troops”…as it will justify their actions…take action against the people who run things..and their families, kids, wives… husbands…relatives who benefit from the corruption …target them with non-violent actions…spread the word and organize a protest with a million people showing up at CIA Headquarters on a Monday morning flash mob…not that I would suggest it, but eventually, violent flash mobs ..targeted towards the traitors, thieves and murderers of our society (including the entire Supreme Court) now, that might get their attention?…a National Grand Jury.. where we begin to charge and convict these traitors …and then begin to hang them….that would help as well…but don’t just yet, just yet …don’t give them the excuse they want to attempt to crush us…let them show themselves a bit more…and act as non-violent as your natural rights and sense of dignity can afford….then, when it is time..be ready…
