This one hit me hard. I know Corey’s family, and when I tell you he was a geniuenly good person, I mean he was their pride and joy. A church drummer, Corey was on his way home from a gig when his car broke down on the side of I-95. While waiting on a tow truck, killer cop Nouman Raja approached his car. Raja was in plain clothes, in an umarked car. Instead of notifying Corey who he was, he aggressively approached the vehicle. Corey, who had a legal concealed carry permit, had his gun on him (he was stranded at 2am on the side of the interstate, so what better time to make sure you’re protected). Without warning, Raja shot Corey six times. He then took time to concoct his story, precious minutes that could have save Corey’s life. Further he LIED TO DISPATCH about Corey’s condition—he had died long before Raja even called for help. Raja attempted to use “Stand Your Ground” as a defense.

Nouman Raja is one of very few officers in Florida to ever be held accountable for an unjustifiable homocide. He is the first in the state since 1989. He was convicted of manslaughter and attempted murder, and is facing the prospect of serving the rest of his life in prison. None of this will bring Corey back however. They tried to slander his name, but no one could deny the light and love he brought to his community. My thoughts and prayers remain with the family. May this bring them some semblance of peace. Our fight continues. #RestInPower ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Sometimes I think I understand how right-wing people think, and then it’s like

“Trump made some strong remarks toward Senator McCain during the election, and McCain can’t seem to move on. McCain should worry less about who he is and isn’t inviting to his funeral”

I was at this protest. It’s so heartbreaking and unacceptable that this shit keeps happening.
