Joseph Mann On July 11, 2016, Randy Lozoya and John Tennis, two Sacramento police officers, attempted to run over, and later shot and killed Joseph Mann, a 51-year-old mentally ill and homeless African-American man. The shooting led to protests by local religious leaders and Black leaders. Black Lives Matter demanded the release of the dashcam videos and criticized the police for escalating the situation. The Sacramento Police Department initially did not release the videos, but later released three dashcam videos and two 9-1-1 call audios after pressure from city officials, including Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, as well as The Sacramento Bee, obtaining surveillance footage from a citizen showing the shooting of Mann. The audio of the dashcam videos was enhanced by The Sacramento Bee. Police spokesperson Bryce Heinlein told reporters that using a vehicle as a deadly weapon is something covered in the use of force training. According to Heinlein, Lozoya and Tennis were placed on "modified duty". Mann's family has filed both a claim against Sacramento and also a federal lawsuit. In addition to other shootings by police officers around the country, Mann's shooting prompted the Sacramento City Council to propose a use-of-force policy change that restricts the use of lethal force and examines the use of police vehicles. On January 27, 2017, the Sacramento County District Attorney cleared the two officers of any legal wrongdoing, concluding that they were justified in shooting Mann, but after an internal investigation by the Sacramento Police Department, neither Tennis nor Lozoya remain on the force. #JosephMann #HumanBeing #PoliceBrutality #Overfunded #Palestine #War #Dehumanize #YouAintFuckingListening #Consicous #2017 #2020 #Listen #ChangeIsHere #GeorgeFloyd #EverythangCulture #ARiotistheLanguageoftheUnheard #GodBlessUs #GodProtectUs #Podcast #EnoughisEnough #WeAreDoingThisEveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_VdVZgB7O/?igshid=zmc3trehk1du
