🇵🇸 Refeef Lubbad, a 17-year-old 11th grader, was shot and killed by Israeli forces Thursday as she walked home from school in the al-Faluja area of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Former Senatobia cop Foster who killed Kohen Wiley had 2 previous lawsuits for excessive force, one of them also mentioning that he exaggerated the threat by the vehicle he stepped in front of. Two Black men sued him for “viciously and repeatedly beating” them and claimed that Foster “conspired to charge them with crimes they did not commit” in a Waffle House parking lot in 2019 (video enclosed below).
A second lawsuit was filed by Katherine Jefferson (race unverified) who claimed that on 8/26/2022, they “tased her multiple times,” “stomped on her face breaking her jaw” and “knocked out multiple teeth” during a traffic stop.

West Bank just got locked down, four days before Israeli elections. Hundreds of checkpoints and gates are now shut. Almost 3.5 million Palestinians are stranded right now. This is collective punishment of an entire population under military occupation.
My god. They're intending to turn all of West Bank into a trap Palestinians can't escape. It's what they did in Sabra and Shatila in 1982 and it was a massacre.
Imagine being the hoe that is letting all 2 inches of a married Ethan Klein grunt inside you while a horrifying portrait of his equestrian IDF wife is staring back at you. How does that not put the fear of god into you? Or the fear of a drone strike???

“I watched an officer come from the inside of Walmart, not knowing what’s going on, and run out with guns drawn. Five officers with guns drawn at a car with two women and a baby.”

The Senatobia officer who shot 1-year-old Kohen Wiley has resigned. But accountability can't end here. Body camera footage shows how quickly this escalated over an alleged shoplifting call. We are calling on the Department of Justice to open an investigation. https://t.co/I416Sqbuk1
