Watching @NY1 tonight & my partner sees story of #sandyguardiola tonight at McCarren Park vigil. They were friends in social work school & she didn't know Sandy had been shot in her own home by police. Processing the shock of this life lost in 2017. #JusticeForSandyG
"Sandy was a survivor," she remembers. She'd defeated cancer & lost her mother as she began social work grad program. She'd retired as correctional officer & wanted to make a difference in ppl's lives as parole officer. #JusticeForSandyG #sandyguardiola #SayHerName
In April 2017 #sandyguardiola moved from NYC to Canandaigua bc she wanted "peace & quiet." In October 2017 we now see she was shot by police unlawfully entering her home. She was recovering from chemo treatment. #JusticeForSandyG #SayHerName
Family of #sandyguardiola say she'd been harassed by police, was on authorized leave, was transferring to another dept & police had no reason to enter. They killed her w 3 shots in her own home. #justiceforsandyg #SayHerName tiny.cc/buherz
Stories of #sandyguardiola & #brionnataylor so tragically similar: uniformed public servants shot by police in their own homes. Both families need & deserve justice. How many more stories are there? Arrest the murderers. #JusticeForSandyG #SayHerName
My partner describes #sandyguardiola: "a fellow social worker, a mother, a fighter, a guiding light, a mentor, a force for good." Rest in power, #SandyG. You deserved a long life with your family & helping those who needed you. #JusticeforSandyG #sayhername
*correction: she was recovering from an auto accident. Immaterial from the fact of police unlawfully entering her apartment, but wanted to note my error.
