Malik Williams

This case happened in Federal Way, Washington State, so this one is more personal to me. 

Please read.

Malik Williams

Today, I went to a rally at the Federal Way Police Department for Malik Williams.

 Malik was a 23 year old paraplegic man who was shot at 84 times by the police.

 He was sitting in the passengers side of a car and someone had called the cops on the driver of the car, a White Woman, for yelling. 

Before the cops murdered Malik, they told the White Woman to “Run”. 

Here’s the statement from the petition that you should sign 

“Malik Williams was a 23-year-old Black paraplegic man, who was fatally shot by Federal Way, Washington police on Dec. 31, 2019 after officers fired shots at the car he was sitting in. According to KUOW, the Valley Independent Investigations Team released footage from the shooting, where 84 shell casings were found at the scene. Officers claim they were unaware that Williams was a paraplegic until after the shooting when they saw his wheelchair in the backseat of the car, which they said had tinted windows.Andre Taylor of Not This Time, added that the video footage that has been released and the footage Williams’ family saw last week were not the same. He says that the recently released footage has been edited. “The video shows no stress or anything going on that would have made an officer feel that he was in danger for 86 shots to be fired into that car,” Taylor said. Malik Williams’ family is asking for justice and awareness, and to stop unjustifiable police killings.”

The petition is at 4,366 so let’s get it to 5,000! I have 1,000 of you following me, so even if a fraction of you signed the petition, that would help.
