Dear 2UrbanGirls,
Another officer involved shooting occurred in South Central Los Angeles when sheriff deputies killed 29-year-old Dijon Kizzee. Video shows Kizzee running with clothing in his hands, which authorities later determined was covering a handgun.
It is unknown why Kizzee was on a bike with a handgun or whether the deputies prevented another black-on-black shooting, but there is zero outrage from Black elected officials who represent the South Los Angeles area.
The only visible, semi-elected official was Joe Collins, who is running for Congress against Rep. Maxine Waters.
Black elected’s have called for “justice” for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless victims of police shootings OUTSIDE of Los Angeles County but don’t keep that same energy when it happens in their own backyard.
What’s up with that?
