Neighbours watched officers press a 22-year-old face down into the pavement outside his own building until he stopped moving.
Ernest Sayon. Staten Island, April 1994.
The medical examiner ruled it a homicide — compression of the neck and chest.
There were witnesses. There was a crowd. There was a community that had been complaining about that particular unit for months.
A grand jury declined to indict anyone.
Five years later, on the same island, the same conversations were happening again.
His nickname in the neighbourhood was Kase. He was 22 years old, and the ruling was homicide, and nothing happened.
Ernest Sayon was 22. His case was ruled a homicide. The story did not end with justice. This is why we must never forget https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

Some teenagers were decorating a basement for a party. Police came down the stairs. An officer sh0t a 14-year-old in the head.
Claude Reese. Brooklyn, September 1974.
The officer said he believed the boy had a gun. There was no gun. There was a broom.
A grand jury declined to indict him.
Claude Reese Jr. was fourteen years old and was setting up a room for a party. That is the entire fact pattern.
His death, and Clifford Glover's the year before, and Randolph Evans's two years later, were part of why New York's Black communities spent the 1970s in a state of controlled fury that most history books describe only as "tension."
Three boys. Ten, fourteen, fifteen. Three different years. Nobody convicted in any of them.
We keep publishing these week after week not because we enjoy it, but because the pattern only becomes visible when you see them stacked.
The more stories you uncover, the harder the pattern becomes to ignore. We put them all in one place for you https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
@MassDefector@patriottakes no one has late term abortion unless they were forced to for medical reasons. anyway, abortion is the removal of a fetus, not a baby yet.
