Kobe Dimock-Heisler (an autistic man) would have turned 24 today had he not been fatally shot by Brooklyn Center police officers Cody Turner and Brandon Akers on August 31, 2019 while they responded to a mental crisis call. (BCPD Steven Holt & Joseph Vu were on scene as well)
The killing of Kobe Dimock-Heisler wasn't widely known to the public until convicted felon Kim Potter killed #DaunteWright during the #DerekChauvinTrial. Potter was the police association pres & directed Kobe's shooters to "shut [their] body warns off & don't talk to each other."
āAutism is not a crimeā¦This is why the police department needs to be defunded.ā ā Jason Heisler

Three years ago on December 6 [2018] we reported from #Athens as heavy clashes occurred between many thousands of police & anti-authoritarians took place on the 10-year anniversary of 15y/o #AlexisGrigoropoulos being killed by Greek police in #Exarcheia: unicornriot.ninja/2018/major-claā¦
On December 6, 2008, Alexis Grigoropoulos was with his friends when Epaminondas Korkoneas, a special guard member of the Greek police, fatally shot Alexis. Intense riots ensued for weeks. In his 1st trial, Korkoneas was found guilty of culpable homicide & given a life sentence.
Korkoneas, the ex-special police guard of the Greek police who shot #AlexisGrigoropoulos, had his life sentence overturned in July 2019. An appeals court found him guilty for the murder but reduced his sentence to 13 years. He was released that same day. unicornriot.ninja/2019/life-sentā¦
At least 6,416 people were #KilledByPolice in #Brazil last year, setting a record high. This year after several massacres, police are on pace to break the record again. unicornriot.ninja/2021/police-inā¦
The 6,416 people killed last year by police in #Brazil are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police in 2020 while only representing 56% of the population in the country of 211 million people.
The vast majority of the families of those #KilledByPolice in #Brazil never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body to handle cases of police abuse: hrw.org/news/2021/04/1ā¦

In small towns across #Brazil like PiĆŗma, Espirito Santo, the health system is insufficient to deal with the surging cases of #coronavirus.

Catarina Mais said the #UKvariant, the most aggressive #COVID19 variant, had just entered PiĆŗma, likely from āa tourist from another state or county.ā This could be devastating for PiĆŗma, as the population doesnāt have enough hospital beds available nor an ambulance.
