Da’Quain Johnson’s mother had to walk into a Grand Rapids city meeting and say that out loud because this system still refuses to treat her son’s life as worthy of justice. Her child was chased off a bicycle, mauled by a K‑9 and shot in the back, and weeks later the officer who killed him is still on paid leave, still unnamed, still uncharged.
Michigan State Police have already done their job and delivered the case file. The Kent County prosecutor’s office is hiding behind “we need more information” instead of giving this family a straight answer and filing criminal charges. Delay is not neutrality; delay is protection for a killer in uniform.
While officials talk about “healing” and “policy review,” this mother is forced to relive her son’s death in public just to ask for what should be automatic: name the officer, fire the officer, prosecute the officer. Justice here is not complicated, it means full transparency, criminal charges, and real consequences for the officer who pulled the trigger.
Oh my god the way I randomly started watching Homeland without more than a general idea of what it’s about… 😳🤯 so many parallels to things happening currently smh
Since mental health is a huge topic today. I’d like to say that I’m glad Romeo Doubs has gotten through whatever he had going on.
A year can make a huge difference. I’m glad he celebrates after every catch I hope he keeps it going.
So young girls are adult enough to carry babies full term against their wishes but these people in their 30s that spewed racist shit are kids? This math is wild.
Growing up in the 90s & early 2000s they wanted us to read, drink milk, play outside, just say no to drugs, reduce, reuse, recycle. Ms. Frizzle was our secondary teacher and Captain Planet was considered a hero. That’s the world I grew up in, so seeing where we are now is wild.
