#DijonKizzee was murdered IN MY BACK YARD. Until I knew his name my dad & I were terrified it was my brother. I have to go out tomorrow and see all of the blood left behind. Lapd had me blocked inside of my house and had his body lying on my property for hours.
I came home from work to my dad telling me he heard gunshots, I was convinced they were fireworks. A helicopter started hovering so close to my house and when it stayed for hours I knew something was up. & sure enough my dad was right. News said someone was shot-
On budlong & 109. But actually it was 109 place. I’m watching the live news stream...& I see my back yard. My. Yard. And I immediately went into panic mode because my brother hadn’t come home yet. The more they describe the guy the more terrified I was
So honored to represent #BLMLA and their leader @DocMellyMel & others standing up for racial justice, and against repressive curfews, in LA County, LA City, and City of San Bernardino. So proud of my @ACLU_SoCal colleagues incl. @PeterBibring @Adrienna_W @andreskwon @mg718 @ACLU 
Just filed complaint now. Curfew violates 1st, 5th, 9th (really), and 14th Amdts. Virtually all protests in SoCal have been peaceful. 30k people protested over last 5 days. But Govt trying to repress all 10 million! of us bc a few people NOT from #BLMLA looted in a few places.
The repression is real. Kim Beltran Villalobos got detained and cited parking her car by her house at night. LA Taco Journalist @ShotOn35mm detained and beaten by police while covering protests. @ThomasNolan had to stop peaceful protests in San Bernardino bc curfew.
