Another life lost due to police brutality. Her name was Jessie Hernandez. She was 16. Brown. Queer. Loved. She was fatally shot by police in Denver this morning.
“A neighbor captured a video of the female suspect being searched by police after she was shot. In the video, the teen is handcuffed and rolled on her stomach and back on the ground, appearing to be searched. The girl is limp, silent and motionless as officers move her about.”
I don’t care what she was a suspect of, this is disgusting. Officers couldn’t take a petite teen girl into custody? Right. She was just a child. My thoughts are with her family.

THE FUCK WAS THEIR EXCUSE THIS TIME? DID SHE LOOK LIKE A DEMON TOO? DID THE FUCKING OFFICER FEEL LIKE HE WAS CONFRONTING HULK HOGAN AGAIN? FUCKING HELL
Brianna Diaz, whose house backs up to the alley where the shooting happened, said her 16-year-old sister was a passenger in the car.
Diaz said her mother ran out of the house after hearing the shots and was stopped by an officer who grabbed her and tried to calm her down.
“My mom told me to start filming, but when I took out my phone, the cop was like, ‘Don’t you dare!’ ” she said.
Jessie Hernandez, presente.
