Dear Friends and Family,
I am writing to make you aware of a senseless tragedy that is becoming to
familiar in this country. Another innocent, unarmed African American male was
brutally murdered by so called "law enforcement". The man who was slain was
named Kenneth B. Walker. This incident hits very close to home because Kenny
was
an extremely close friend.
Last Wednesday evening a local sheriff's special unit targeted 4 black men
riding in an expensive SUV as possible "drug suspects". The reality of the
matter is that every individual in that SUV was a college graduate, as well as
responsible citizen. These four innocent men were dragged from their vehicle
at
gun point, and forced to lay on the side of a major Interstate like animals.
Simultaneously one of the "John Wayne" sheriffs made a conscious decision to
shoot Kenny Walker in the front of the head twice, with a H&K MP5 assault
rifle. The coward who shot Kenny claimed that he made a "judgment call" because
he couldn't see Kenny's right hand. While Kenny lie dying on the side of the
road, the bastards knowing full well at this point that they had targeted the
wrong vehicle, still resented the other 3 gentlemen. They place them in 3
separate cars and held them in 3 separate cells. Furthermore, Kenny was shot at
9:00pm and his family was not notified until 1:30 am. They didn't even get a
chance to say their farewells, because he died before they arrived. Of course
they found no guns or contraband in the vehicle. 6 hours later they released
the other men. They gave the driver his keys and said, and I quote "you're
free to go, by the way your friend is dead".
Kenneth Walker was a loving husband, devoted father and responsible civic
oriented individual who was involved in the local community. Not only had Kenny
never been in trouble with law; when they pulled his record they couldn't even
find a speeding ticket! So what it amounts to is that if you are a black
male in this country, no matter how righteous, your life is subject to come down
to a "judgment call". To add insult to injustice, this tragedy is being
stonewalled and quietly swept under the rug by local government officials. From
what we understand, the entire incident was caught on tape. The Sheriff's
Department is refusing to release the tape, which is a matter of public record
under
the "Freedom of Information" Act. Columbus is a small town. The "Good Old
Boy" network is very much alive here and the longer they hold the tape, the more
likely it will be altered or disappear all together (remember the 90 seconds
missing from the Cincinnati tape). If this had happened in a major city it
would have gained national attention by now. This is where we need your help.
