🚨 San Jose police shot college football player K’aun Green 4 times then the officer sent racist texts calling him the N-word and saying “I hate black people.”
This is the bodycam/surveillance footage from the night Green was shot at La Victoria Taqueria in March 2022.
Green had just disarmed a gunman during a brawl. He was holding the weapon pointed up when Officer Mark McNamara shot him multiple times. Police later admitted Green had nothing to do with any homicide.
McNamara was later exposed in a racist texting scandal. While the case was ongoing, he sent messages referring to Green as “this N-Word,” calling his lawyer a “nigs lawyer,”.
San Jose City Council approved an $8 million settlement the third-largest police payout in city history. No apology. No real accountability.
Another young Black man shot by police. Another officer with racist messages about the victim in his phone.
How many more families have to fight for years while officers hide behind badges and send messages like this?
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!
