Dude gets pulled over, they find $3k on him, and this officer straight-up palms $900 and hides it in his patrol car door while counting the money. The guy stays calm and keeps saying “y’all took my money” until they finally check the bodycam.
Officer Henry Chapman got arrested by his own department the same day, resigned the next, and just copped an Alford plea to felony embezzlement.
Sentence? 2 years probation and some therapy. No jail.
Wild how fast it got handled once they had the footage. Respect to the guy for not letting it slide tho.
The diapers actually being paid for doesn’t make this any less tragic. Even if they were stolen, they weren’t more valuable than this baby’s life.
This is why we marched, our children deserve to grow up.
This June 19 is another historic Juneteenth in Black history
The first Black republic, Haiti, faces Brazil, home to the largest Black populatº outside Africa, on American soil a nation where Black people fought to make equality in sports possible

UPDATE—First interview with mother of 1 year old baby shot & killed by police.
Cops lied—her car was driving away from where officers stood.
"I raised my baby up to show them that he was in the car," she says.
"By the time I sat my baby down—they fired off like 3 or 4 shots."
the concept of donations to a children's charity decreasing for every second that people stay over their allocated time... in a building full of unbelievably rich people...
