Another Black man beaten by Philly police!
Join family members of Tyree Carroll to say Not One
More Police Beating Of Our Children! WE
NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN PHILLY Gathering outside the site of the beating
(633 E Locust Ave Phila. 19144) & WHAT HAPPENED: On April 3, 2015 an unarmed, 22 year old Tyree Carroll was stopped across from his grandmother’s house in the Germantown section of Philadelphia for riding his bike the wrong way on a one way street. What started with 3 white officers ended in as many as 26 officers involved or watching in this Rodney King style beating. He was kicked, hit with a nightstick, threatened with a taser, called a piece of sh** and other obscenities as more police arrived. Tyree suffers from asthma and fearing for his ability to breathe like with Eric Garner and for his life, he defended himself from officers who were choking him. Fortunately, a neighbor recorded a video, where Tyree can be heard screaming for his grandmom to come to the door. It is an outrage as the Fraternal Order of Police has called this incident “good policing”. We all know this kind of abuse goes on all too often, but it just so happens that this one, like Rodney King in LA, was caught on camera. Come protest, demand justice for Tyree Carroll and his family and for an end to police brutality in our communities. Called by: Justice for Tyree Campaign including Black Lives Matter Movement, Every Mother is a Working Mother Network, Fight for Lifers West, Free Charmaine Committee, Global Women’s Strike (GWS), Hands Up United/Ferguson (St Louis), Human Rights Coalition, Jasmyne Cannick journalist & blogger, Jewish Voice for Peace – Philadelphia, Justice for the Dallas 6 Campaign, Let’s Get Free, Nana Gyamfi attorney for BLM/Los Angeles, Payday, Phila Coalition for REAL Justice, Women and Trans Prisoner Defense Committee, Women of Color in the GWS Co-sponsored by: Action Against Black Genocide, Decarcerate PA, Parkhouse Studios, Peacehome Campaigns, North Philly Peace Park, Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee, Up Against the Law Legal Collective List in formation, please contact us to endorse.
