Pittsburgh police shot a black 13 year old running away from them to death on Juneteenth.
If it is not clear from the text, they shot him in the back at a distance and was no threat to the officers
I saw a blurb on the news this morning about an individual shot by police and I just assumed the rest of the details. How fucking sad is that. I’m ashamed of my town right now.
I feel like the police violence is escalating here. They beat Jordan Miles (also a teenager at the time
And finally murdered this child. His name was Antwan.
if you are in the pittsburgh area there’s a march at the courthouse downtown tomorrow at 12 pm. here’s a link to the event
to summarize:
-police were following the car antwon was a passenger in because it matched a description (note: antwon was 17 yrs old, not 13 like many of the reports say. There was a 13 yr old on scene, however).
-police eventually stopped the car & ordered the driver out/onto the ground. antwon & another passenger bolted
-police fired 3 rounds into his back. Although 2 guns were found in the car later, Rose was unarmed when he was killed
-the driver was later released without being arrested
-the name of the officer who killed antwon rose has not been released. What we do know is that he has been put on administrative leave, and he was involved in other local departments 7 years prior. However, he was sworn in the same night as he killed Antwon.
-there were no dash/body cams, but a witness took a video. Be warned, it is graphic by nature.
–here is the statement that the family of the victim released
The fact they feel it’s necessary to shoot when we run away instead of chasing us proves there’s a problem. And it’s not the in the training received before being sworn in it’s their character in general. They are literally giving badges to demons out here. Breaks my fucking heart.
He was 17
His 13 year old brother was in the car as well. Initial reports said he was 13. I’m sure you can understand how that could happen in the chaos that transpired right?
Jitneys were the precursor to Uber or Lyft. Imagine you and your brother get a Lyft home and the cops pull the driver over. Then shoot at you as you run away.
He was a poet, an avid skateboarder, and volunteer at local charities. Loved by family and friends.
There have been at least three protests. Currently one is shutting down a major highway. Pictures above are from earlier today
There will be another protest tomorrow. There are also several recordings and live feeds of the protests on FB
This is in my area. Looks like they’re now trying to do damage control by claiming he had an empty clip in his pocket and participated in a drive by earlier. Smh…
Update:
As you can see the media tried to spin a false narrative about Antwon having guns. And were exposed for lying by a news anchor today.
Ciora Thomas was arrested at the peaceful protest on 376 last night after police showed in riot gear. She was let go this morning but will have court costs.
Please boost this and donate if you can to help those arrested tonight
Thanks in advance
More pictures from the protests in Pittsburgh.
Tonight’s protest on 6/28/18 lasted for 7 hours.
The people marched down the streets chanting, singing and dancing for 7 hours.
Thank you to everyone who came out and put everything on the line for Antwon Rose Jr. And for justice
Antwon Rose was a freedom fighter and he taught me how to fight
So we gon’ fight all day and night until they get it right
What side are you on my people, what side are you on?

Pittsburgh is a horifically racist city and has been forever.
By the mid 80s there no more gangs in the city due to the diligent guidance of local civil rights activist leaders like Dr. Ralph Proctor, Jr. and Byrd R. Brown, president of the local NAACP and many others.
During Sophie Maslof’s tenure as mayor, Dr. Proctor approched to say that if resources weren’t made available to peacefully counter the inroads that gangs from other parts of the country were trying to make, there was going to be terrible bloodshead for years.
Maslof essentially did nothing positive and set in motion a chain of events that lead to terrible bloodshead during the 90s which completely devistated communites like Homewood (where Jordan Miles was beaten nearly to death for running from white men pursuing him who turned out to be plainclothes cops).
And white people here think the city is post racist and all modern and the Democratic leadership is unproblematic, yet violence towards black communities and inidviduals has increased as police forces become whiter and whiter and more heavily armed and funded and political leaders back the demolition and gentrification of black neighborhoods while cutting public transit.
If you get into the suburbs, white people are falling over themselves to be counted with facsists and nazis. I can’t tell you how many of those fucking facsist flags i see on pickup trucks and the blue line inbetween black plates for supporting police on countless cars.
Last night i saw a cop casually walking across the street with and assault rifle while another was shouting “GET BACK GET BACK PROTESTERS GET BACK” and then laughing about having just come from the 376 protests.
Hey, did you know Border Patrol agents are fond of destroying the food and water caches left in the desert crossing so people don’t die of hunger and thirst?
179 people died crossing between Mexico and Arizona last year, where this happened.
Way to contribute to the deaths of innocent people, sworn officers of the American government!
Regardless of your views on immigration and “illegal” aliens, this is reprehensible. Nothing positive could possibly be gained from such behavior. This is pure cruelty and the result could result in the death of people who, by no stretch of the imagination, could possibly be worthy of a death sentence.
a bunch of people will drive into the desert with guns and shoot holes in water tanks that the green valley samaritans leave out there it’s sickening
Fuck the border agents & every us govt official who knowingly let’s poor people die.

Ben is very upset about private corporations being able to decide what content they allow on their platforms. What’s wrong, Ben? I thought you liked free enterprise!
Thing is Hitler did some good for the german ppl, thus the immense support for him. The orange idiot however doesn’t do anything but playing Golf and approval ratings are decreasing. So, there’s that.
Literally shut the fuck up the only good thing Hitler ever did was put a bullet in his own brain
😂 Look, i hate him, too. But he created jobs. You think Hitler would have had the following he had being an angry men shouting at the clouds? He was a vile being and deserved more than the outcome he got.
Yeah, you’re right hitler created a lot of new jobs
I WONDER HOW HE DID THAT
THIS JUST IN
SLAVERY COUNTS AS JOB CREATION
uh yall do recall that he saved germany from the great depression and regardless of he fact that he was a mad man he did pull of a fairly decent socialist state before the whole “kill the jews” thing came up hell he didnt even want to do that
PUT YOUR FEET IN A WOODCHIPPER
not to be all like “read the thickest book i own six times over like me” but @msdancealot and @shotbythewolf have added some of the wrongest things ive ever read in my life soooooo
1-most of the make work programs of the first few years of nazi germany were created and budgeted for by the weimar government. after this like damn near every job created “by hitler” involved manufacturing weapons of war or extraction of resources to make weapons
2-its important to realize much of the world was leaving the great depression at the exact same time. a global economic recovery ‘saved’ germany, not hitler. theres alot of pretty solid evidence hitler destroyed germany and its economy actually, by running the domestic/consumer economy into the ground to make war
3-“fairly decent socialist state” the nazis were fascists. any sort of nazi social welfare programs didnt come from the same line of thinking as a socialist state. the nazi state was a ramshackle mess, rationing was commonplace, constant financial crisis
4-hell he didnt even want to kill the jews—-this is wrong. hitlers ideaology was so steeped in the idea of a “global jewish conspiracy” he wanted to kill every single jewish person on the planet. he wanted to do that. there wasnt a moment where he said “well shit guys looks like we have to kill the jews now” he wanted to do that for a very long time
For real tho. He was hands down murdered by the police. A lot of notable figures from Ferguson were found dead in the same manner and police labeled them all suicides which ,as we all know, is complete and utter bullshit.
If we could get statues of anyone it really is Edward Crawford. If I can get in contact with a sculptor or some shit with permission from Crawford’s family I will set up the Fund Page in a heart beat.
Omg he died!?!
Like they said, Edward died in a suspicious manner similar to several other notable protestors officially ruled a suicide and here’s some links:
Oh my god that’s heartbreaking, I don’t think I even heard about his death. Or if I did it was drowned out by all the other murders by the police. God this is heartbreaking. That photo of him made me cry when I first saw it, it was so moving. Rest In Power, Edward Crawford.
i don’t use this website to talk about what happens in my country (nicaragua) but right now everything is upside down, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo (president and vicepresident) made some huge changes to our taxes because they used money from our social security and we couldn’t handle any more bs so we began this revolution pacifically, but now college students are getting killed by the police, the government is threatening many people just to get them to shut everyone up who is against them, they burned and destroyed many universities, almost burned a building while people were inside, hurt many elders and kids, censored many channels on national tv to manipulate information, i’m just-
WE ARE NOT EVEN BEING VIOLENT WE ARE JUST PROTESTING PACIFICALLY FOR OUR RIGHTS, PROTESTING BECAUSE WE’RE TIRED OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT THAT JUST TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POWER, THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM US, WE CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE INJUSTICES, WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE
WE ARE GETTING KILLED AND WE ARE SCARED BUT WE WANT TO BE HEARD, WE NEED THE WHOLE WORLD TO SCREAM WITH US
NOS ESTÁN MATANDO
POR FAVOR AYÚDENNOS A SER ESCUCHADOS
#SOSNICARAGUA
ok, we made it, Daniel Ortega canceled the changes on our taxes [April 22nd 2018], but these protests have changed their goal since they killed the first student, WE NEED ORTEGA AND MURILLO TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY
like, the police keeps killing people, college students are still the principal target, channels on national tv are still censored and the ones that aren’t manipulate information to make the government and their sympathizers look like they are the victim in this situation
we’re living in a constant fear and Ortega keeps claiming that all he wants is peace and calls everyone against his regimen a “delinquent”
WE WANT FREEDOM, WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT DANIEL ORTEGA IS A GENOCIDE DICTATOR
[May 12th 2018]
everything is getting worse, they are killing more and more people, incriminating innocent people for the murders, they are even creating chaos between us to make the ones that are fighting for freedom like they are vandals, they won’t let enter international organizations to investigate the crimes,,,
we think this is becoming a civil war, i’m really scared, i haven’t sleep well in days, i hope this won’t last long but i don’t know what’s going to happen now
please keep yourself informed about what’s going on, and pray for us
[May 26th 2018]
protests are still going strong, now farmers are blocking roads in sign of protest and it seems this really affects the government because they are trying to get rid of them by attacking those protecting the roads
by the time there are 300+ missing people and over than 75 deaths, the streets in the city are basically destroyed, the government is using a new strategy where the police (and we think that even soldiers) are dressing as civilians and killing every protester when they got the chance, there are motorcyclists intimidating people in the streets, you can be murdered just by carrying the national flag, over 30,000 people got fired the past few weeks, the economy is going down faster and faster each day, national tv channels are still manipulating information to make the protesters seem like they’re the ones killing and destroying everything thanks to the CIA (i know it’s stupid but that’s what they say), it’s a mess
Ortega-Murillo are still in denial about what’s going on in the country, they don’t wanna listen and don’t wanna quit, they still think that it’s just a few people against them but it’s actually like 90% of the nicaraguans that want them to leave, they call for peace in the morning and send their people to kill us in the night
everyone is tired and scared of what’s going to happen but we still got a piece of hope in our hearts, please pray for nicaragua and don’t leave us alone
PLEASE REBLOG
[May 28th 2018 @ 12:30pm]
POLICE OFFICERS JUST ATTACKED MY UNIVERSITY AND THEY ARE SHOOTING EVERY CIVILIAN IN THE STREETS I’M CRYINF I’M SCARED IT’S ALL OVER THE NEWS

PLEASE LET THE WORLD KNOW HOW SICK ARE DANIEL ORTEGA AND ROSARIO MURILLO
THEY PRAY FOR PEACE AND KILL EVERYONE AGAINST THEM
Since there’s no links, here’s an article from USA Today with footage, and here’s a CNN follow-up from a day later stating that the officer retired before disciplinary action could be taken.
