#WeChargeGenocide: Protest at 11th District Police Station #O22Chi
@ChiCopWatch | www.wechargegenocide.org
On October 22, 'We Charge Genocide' released a report on Chicago Police violence, which they will present to the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva, and hosted a silent protest on the national day of action against Police Brutality.
- At 6 PM, community members and allies gathered for a silent protest against police brutality -- lead by youth organizers -- outside the District 11 police station. Young people placed blue tape over their mouths to symbolize the 'blue wall of silence' around police violence.
- Families of those killed by Chicago Police, including the mother of Roshad McIntosh, attended the demonstration.
