Another NYPD killer cop found not guilty
By Julie Varughese
A Brooklyn, New York, family devastated by the acquittal of an off-duty Black officer in the shooting death of their relative, who was also Black, said that the only race that mattered in this killing was that of their loved one, yet another victim of unrelenting police violence toward people of color.
New York Police Department Officer Wayne Isaacs, 38, was found “not guilty” Nov. 6 of killing Brooklyn resident Delrawn Small, 37. Isaacs remains on paid suspension, and could still face NYPD charges.
That Isaacs is Black has raised questions about how racist the NYPD really is.
But Small’s family was clear: “I don’t give a flying f—k what color Wayne Isaacs is because my black-ass brother isn’t here,” said Small’s sister, Victoria, to a multinational crowd of more than 100 at a Union Square rally on Nov. 9. Speakers demanded the NYPD fire Isaacs.
Relatives called the rally to draw attention to the unjust, racist system that lets police officers kill on camera with impunity. To drive home the point, the crowd marched around Union Square, the site of many demonstrations against injustice. Organizations and activists who showed up to support the family included retired state Assemblyman Charles Barron, who asked the crowd to “organize for a revolution.”
Small’s brother, Victor, said the “not guilty” verdict emphasized that Small’s life — like many Black lives — didn’t matter. Family members described sleepless nights and nightmares since the verdict. They also said they suffered lost wages because they sat through the two-week trial.

African-American and Latino legislators rallied today at the Brooklyn intersection where an off-duty cop killed an unarmed black civilian on July 4—and one lawmaker predicted a “social explosion” that would dwarf even the riots that wracked Ferguson and Baltimore if the policeman goes free.
Assemblyman Charles Barron, a former member of the Black Panther Party, went further than any of his colleagues gathered near the corner where Officer Wayne Isaacs fatally shot Delrawn Small in an apparent road rage outburst last Monday. Barron, who represents the East New York neighborhood that served as site of the homicide, warned of dire consequences should Isaacs avoid arrest and jail time.
“I’m not going to back down from saying it—I give a warning, a warning: when peaceful means and methods for getting justice is denied and rejected, violence is inevitable,” he said. “You can’t keep killing us with impunity and think we’re going to go back and suffer peacefully.”
“You think Ferguson went up in flames? You think Baltimore went up in flames?” he continued. “The flames across America nobody will be able to douse, if we don’t start getting some justice.”

http://democracynow.org - Protests against police brutality erupted across the United States over the weekend, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets and blocking roads, bridges and highways in more than a dozen U.S. cities. Hundreds of people were arrested nationwide. The protests were sparked by the police killing of two African American men last week — Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. But another recent police shooting has gone largely unnoticed by national media. On July 4, off-duty New York police officer Wayne Isaacs shot and killed Delrawn Small, an unarmed African American man. Police officers initially claimed Small punched officer Isaacs in the face following a driving confrontation. But surveillance video that has just been released counters that claim, and instead shows the off-duty officer shooting Small within one second of Small approaching the vehicle. For more we speak with Roger Wareham, the attorney representing Delrawn Small’s family.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, we're out here dying from police, and the police are allowed to walk free."
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Manhattan last night, demanding an end to nationwide systemic racism and police brutality in the wake of three widely-publicized killings of black men by law enforcement officers. Saturday's protest was led by Zayanahla Vines, the nephew of Delrawn Small, who was shot and killed by an off-duty NYPD officer during a Brooklyn road rage incident last week.
Protesters shut down traffic on many busy roadways, including the FDR Drive, as they waved homemade signs and called out to bystanders, encouraging them to join the march and demand justice for Small, Philando Castile, and Alton Sterling, all of whom were killed by police in the past six days. Protesters marched for over four hours, moving from City Hall to Union Square, and north through Midtown. An NYPD spokesperson confirmed that roughly 20 demonstrators were arrested, with most charged for disorderly conduct.
The protest began just after 7:30 p.m. Saturday in lower Manhattan, where Vines, 22, expressed his grief at losing his uncle. "Whether you want to admit it or not, we're out here dying from police, and the police are allowed to walk free," Vines said. "We can't stand for this any longer. It's not right, and we all know it's not right."
