Pissed off about Black Lives Matter? Go home and kiss your kids. Be thankful for that anger because at least you're alive to feel it. Unlike Charleena Lyles, and MANY others, who can do neither.

Re-Open Dj Henry’s Case

On October 17, 2010, police officer Aaron Hess, murdered Danroy “DJ” Henry while he was in handcuffs. DJ was a football player & junior at Pace University. He was celebrating at a sports bar with his teammates when some others got in a fight. DJ was parked outside the building in a fire lane out front when he was asked to move. DJ complied and moved out of the spot when Aaron Hess shot him, took him out of his car, handcuffed him and laid him on the ground and left him there to die. Aaron Hess was not charged with any crime and was named Officer of the Year later on in the year. Hess deliberately killed DJ. DJ was a bright student with a bright future and he deserved better than this. We are demanding that this case be re-opened and we demand that Aaron Hess be charged with the murder of Danroy Henry.

In the wake of the events in Ferguson, I'd like to share the story of Danroy "DJ" Henry, a student and athlete at Pace University. In October 2010, DJ was shot by a police officer, handcuffed, and left with no medical attention for at least 15 minutes prior to passing away. He and his friends were out for the night when a scuffle broke out at the bar. As DJ was sober, he got in the car with his two friends to drive them away from the scene unfolding. An officer indicated to DJ to clear the area, so he began to pull away. In a panicked frenzy, a second officer (Hess) ran to DJ's car, jumped on the hood, pressed his gun to the windshield, and fired 3 shots. Reports say that the initial officer was calling to Hess to stand down. One bullet struck DJ's best friend sitting on the passenger seat in the arm while at least one other struck DJ in the chest. He was pulled out of the car, handcuffed, and left on the ground while medical personal and other officials tended to Hess' "injury" - a pained knee from jumping on the hood of the car. The entire time, his two friends begged for someone to help DJ. After at least 15 minutes, a bystander began performing CPR on DJ. In the end, DJ passed away. Hess on the other hand had the full backing of the police force and was acquitted by a grand jury after making unproven claims that an intoxicated DJ had intentionally tried to run him down. Video can be found here of DJ waiting for medical attention: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/03/12/attorney-to-release-evidence-in-2010-police-shooting-of-pace-university-student-danroy-henry/ Thank you for reading, and please remember DJ's name along with Michael Brown's today.

Do you know who Danroy Henry is?

That name is mentioned in the song "Murder to Excellence" on Watch the Throne.

He was a 20 year old black student who was shot by a police officer.

Visit the link.

Do your research.

So let me get this straight...

A man was put to death with no proof that he actually committed the crime.

Casey Anthony kills her daughter, walks free and shows no remorse.

Danroy Henry was following police orders to drive away, then he's shot by an officer. That officer got an award for the Officer of the Year.

Hmm.

Danroy Henry : Murder to Excellence

The father of college footballer Danroy Henry thanks Jay-Z and Kanye West on behalf of his family for bringing attention to the murder of his son in their Watch The Throne track 'Murder to Excellence'. Danroy Henry was shot and killed by Police Officer Aaron Hess  in October last year in New York. To make matters worse Hess was disgracefully named 'Officer of the Year' for his 'dignity' and 'professionalism' since killing Danroy. I am glad Danroy's family are fighting for justice in the name of their son. I am also thankful to Jay-Z and Kanye West for using 'Murder to Excellence' as a platform to highlight the systematic annihilation of black men in America. Please reblog and share this video with as many people as possible.
