My hometown doesn’t always make national news, but when it does – last week – it’s because a cop beat a 14 year old boy in his own fucking yard.
Anyway, I think it’s golden that every fucking article I found – last week – named the boy, seemingly from BLM Sacramento’s press conference against the family’s will, but no one NO ONE would name the officer.
Oh, but it’s okay! He’s been “re-assigned.”
My baby brother who is 14 years old. All of this over a swisher😤 there’s more footage but I wasn’t able to upload it all. Please repost, we just want justice for my baby!😭💯 #JUSTICE4JAH pic.twitter.com/reftDDyHha

Wild that The New York Times was able to figure it out and not a single local reporter.
Again, last week.
