Justice for Iman Morales

On Jan.12th 2008 a rally to bring about justice in the killing of Iman Morales by the nypd to hold those cops involved accountable in a court of law as every other citizen is when a life is taken by another due to Brooklyn District Attorney (Charles Hynes) refusal to even look at the circumstances which clearly anyone else would have been charge with manslaughter already. The Family of Iman Morales seek everyones assistance in getting justice for her Son and in bringing about change within the nypd so that no one else has to endure what they and so many others have been subjected to at the hands of nypd. Justice For Iman Morales A Mentally ill man killed by NYPD Iman Morales, on September 24th, 2008. Mr. Morales was tasered while standing on the ledge of a store front awning 10 feet high without an air bag to break his fall. The officers ignored his mother's cries for an airbag, and made no attempts to catch Mr.Morales who fell to his death after being tasered. Join Us for a March and Rally:January 12th is the 13th anniversary of the death of Anthony Rosario and Hilton Vega, shot in the back while face down on the floor 28 times by the NYPD. Margarita Rosario, mother of Anthony and aunt of Hilton, will be marching alongside the family of Iman Morales and other families whose children have been killed by the NYPD. We demand:1) All officers involved in the killing of Iman Morales be fired from the NYPD immediately. 2) All officers involved in the killing of Iman Morales be charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide and tried by a jury of Brooklyn residents. 3) Crisis Intervention Teams that consist, NOT of armed police officers, but of medical professionals and trained community members, some of whom have personal experience dealing with mental illness. Such programs have been successful in other parts of the country. 4) A permanent independent prosecutor for all cases of police violence. The cases of Sean Bell and Jayson Tirado among others have proven we can not trust the DA's office to pursue justice when police officers are involved.
