#AllanFeliz was unarmed when Lt. Rivera assaulted, tased + shot him in the chest in 2019. Both the @CCRB_NYC & the NYPD’s discipline judge recommend he be fired. Enough is enough, @NYPDPC + @NYCMayor do the right thing: #FireJonathanRivera by March 31!

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

.@NYCMayor & @NYPDPC failed New York City, Kawaski Trawick, and his family and we must stand up! Join us on Monday 1pm at City Hall and Tuesday at 5pm at Foley Square.

Cops routinely escalate crises when they show up. In the case of #KawaskiTrawick, he wasn't in crisis when NYPD came - he was minding his business, cooking in his own home.

Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis literally created a crisis & killed Kawaski in 112 seconds.

"Enough shame for us all, for every NYer in whose name the police & government killed #KawaskiTrawick, then covered it up"

ICYMI, REALLY good piece by @macfathom breaking down how absolutely shameful & wrong it is that @nycmayor & NYPD won't fire cops who killed #KawaskiTrawick

Today marks 5 years since NYPD killed #KawaskiTrawick, a Black gay man who came to NYC to dance.

Late Friday, news broke that the cops who killed him wouldn't be fired, not even a slap on the wrist. Join us in rage. #Shame on @NYCMayor & NYPD.

[Joo-Hyun ([email protected]) @JooHyun_Kang]

Today is 5 years since NYPD Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis created a crisis & gunned #KawaskiTrawick down while he was cooking at home.

Kawaski was a Black gay man who came to NYC to dance. He was active in the House of Mizrahi. He was loved & should be alive. Some facts...

June Pride was one of Kawaski Trawick's favorite times. He used to dance & celebrate with friends. #KawaskiTrawick should be at pride today!

4 years ago, NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis killed Kawaski in 112 seconds.

Tell @NYCMayor to #FireThompsonAndDavis

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Written closing arguments only means New Yorkers and the Trawick family will never see/hear the
@CCRB_NYC summation of all of the violence, misconduct, lies and cover-up surrounding the NYPD killing of #KawaskiTrawick. #FireBrendanAndThompson

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Last week, Deputy Commissioner of Trials said closing arguments would be both oral and written. Today, she went with what NYPD prefers: written argument only, so the story is hidden from the public. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC : this decision must be reversed!

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

BREAKING: After day-long testimony shows cover-up at highest levels of the NYPD, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Trials ruled to keep closing arguments secret from New Yorkers in discipline trial of cops that killed #KawaskiTrawick. https://t.co/oMcguzv1R3

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Late last Friday, on the 4 year anniversary of #KawaskiTrawick’s murder, the Trawick family learned NYPD may dismiss the illegal entry charges against both officers, which could jeopardize the entire case. The charges must stand @NYCMayor @NYPDPC ! #FireThompsonandDavis

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Thank you to 50 NYC electeds who sent a letter to @NYCMayor + @NYPDPC TODAY calling on them to immediately ensure ALL misconduct charges stand against NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis for killing #KawaskiTrawick #FireThompsonAndDavis

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

CW: police intrusion

Officer Herbert Davis broke into #KawaskiTrawick’s apt. Then he & Ofc Brendan Thompson illegally entered. There was no exigent circumstance & no warrant. This is a crime! @NYCMayor + @NYPDPC: Keep all misconduct charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis

[AVP @antiviolence]

#KawaskiTrawick was cooking in his home where he should have been safe. NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis entered, armed, for no reason, tasered & killed him. That’s a crime! @NYPDPC @NYCMayor DON’T drop the illegal entry charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Listen to #KawaskiTrawick’s parents, who have to travel back and forth from GA to NYC for the disciplinary trial: @NYCMayor @NYPDPC #FireThompsonandDavis for killing Trawick in his own home!

https://t.co/xO3oIk58bu

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

Just 'cause cops don’t arrest each other for trespass doesn’t mean it’s not a crime. It’s in the penal code & it’s what Officers Herbert Davis + Brendan Thompson did that led to killing #KawaskiTrawick. @NYPDPC & @NYCMayor - Keep all charges & #FireThompsonAndDavis

[Audre Lorde Project @audrelorde]

NYPD Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis illegally busted into #KawaskiTrawick’s home & killed him. @NYPDPC & @NYCMayor: keep all charges and #FireThompsonAndDavis

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

The facts are clear: officers Thompson and Davis illegally entered #KawaskiTrawick’s apartment, tased and shot him, all in under 112 seconds. They didn’t even render Kawaski any medical aid! ALL charges must stand @NYCMayor @NYPDPC & #FireThompsonandDavis

[TakeRoot Justice @TakerootNYC]

Unacceptable! On the 4-yr anniv of the NYPD murder of #KawaskiTrawick - 1 wk before cops’ discipline trial - NYPD pulls another stunt to protect Officers Thompson & Davis.@NYCMayor & @NYPDPC -Keep all charges #FireThompsonAndDavis
