As Fatema uplifted, Shacoby Kenny was killed a month ago by guards in South Bay jail.

@mayorwu.boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social STILL has NOT acknowledged this state violence in #bospoli, by guards paid in part by City tax dollars.

His last words were "say a prayer for me." #ShutDownSouthBay

Shout out to Fatema Ahmed, ED of the Muslim Justice League, for knitting together so beautifully the shared experience of people being targeted by ICE, by police, by the US military, and by prison guards.

All people targeted by state violence must stand in solidarity. #bospoli #ShutDownSouthBay

Fatema Ahmad from the Muslim Justice League lays it out clearly.
Fatema Ahmad, executive director at Muslim Justice League, said body camera footage can help shed light on fatal shootings after the fact, but more needs to be done to prevent these cases from happening in the first place. “In this situation, after this young person was killed, maybe body camera footage could have been helpful,” she said. “But really what the family would have wanted is to not have people with guns show up and chase him.” Body camera programs became widespread following protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who was killed in police custody in 2020. “That moved so many people to go out into the streets and demand better, and city officials wanted to be responsive at that moment to what people were saying,” she said. “But we haven’t seen that bear out, we’ve only seen more money for police, for training, for body cameras. Community members are really asking if we can just invest less in that and invest more in literally anything else.” “We need to really think about how we can respond to this kind of thing differently,” she said. “It’s the difference between implementing reforms that are just supporting a culture of policing versus reforms that move us away from assuming that people are violent or that violence is going to resolve the situation.”
