JUSTICE FOR MARCELLIS STINNETTE

On October 20, 2020, 19-year-old Marcellis Stinnette and his 20-year-old girlfriend Tafara Williams were parked outside of Tafara's mother's house, when their vehicle was reported to police as "suspicious." A Waukegan police officer pulled up beside them without activating his car light's or siren. Tafara opened the window and turned on her car's interior lights to indicate that the couple had no weapons and were not doing anything illegal. The officer, however, recognized Marcellis, and verbally harassed them. When Tafara asked if they were free to leave, the officer took a few steps away from the car. Taking that as her cue, Tafara drove away slowly. The officer did not follow them. A short time later, however, another police car started to chase them. After about 20 seconds, Tafara tried to pull over and hit a telephone pole wire. The officer pulled up next to her car when she tried to reverse. Upon seeing her reverse, the officer immediately opened fire, wounding them both and causing Tafara to crash into a building. The couple was dragged out of the car by officers and were left bleeding on the ground without any medical assistance for eight minutes. Though they were taken to the local hospital, Marcellis died soon after. Marcellis did not deserve to die. The officer should have never fired at their car. Tafara and Marcellis were unarmed throughout the entire encounter, and they never tried to hurt the police. The Waukegan Police Department has fired the foremost offending police officer, but this is not enough. The police officers should be named and charged. (Waukegan, Illinois)

"They should release the footage but w/ a system that regularly kills Black people for being Black actions against the killers won't prevent this tragedy from happening over and over again. Defund the damn police."

This is Marcellis Stinnette. He is yet another victim of police brutality.

He was only 19 years old when he was murder by police in Waukegan, Illinois. This happened just LAST MONTH, i hadn’t heard about it until today. The news doesn’t care about police being legal murders. He had an outstanding warrant but no weapons on him. He was a passenger in the car. according to the police, the car went into reverse, so they opened fire. how on earth is that a justification for pulling a gun and shooting someone. who gave the police the right to decide who was guilty with no hesitation??? The court system (while often wrong) does exist right? i’m not crazy for thinking this man should still be alive. Tafarra Willams, the women driving was also injured. She was Marcellis’ girlfriend.

The officers were fired, so obviously the police found that it was wrong, so where are the murder charges? where are the assault with a deadly weapon charge? just because you have a badge doesn’t make it okay for you to murder and assault without consequences.

The officer who shot Williams and Stinnette — a Hispanic, five-year veteran of the Waukegan police department who remains unidentified — was fired late Friday, according to Waukegan Chief of Police Wayne Walles. The shooting is being investigated by the Illinois State Police, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation is also reviewing it, according to a statement from the local prosecutor, Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim.

The federal investigations were called for by demonstrators led by the Stinnette and Williams families, who have also demanded that local authorities release footage of the incident to the public.

“The police cannot police the police. They cannot investigate. And they cannot give us fair justice if it’s one of their own. And yes, we are seeking justice for Marcellis Stinnette,” Satrese Stallworth, a relative of Stinnette, said at a rally in front of the Waukegan city hall Thursday afternoon.

The shooting of Stinnette and Williams took place just 16 miles south of Kenosha, Wisconsin, where local protests reignited national unrest in late August, after 29-year-old Black man Jacob Blake was left partly paralyzed when a white police officer shot him seven times in the back. Multiple members of Blake’s family attended Thursday’s rally in Waukegan.

And the Waukegan shooting comes just days after the third-degree murder charges for Derek Chauvin, the police officer whose killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked this summer’s national wave of protests, were dismissed.

“All of our families are standing together — we are one family and we are united,” Letetra Widman, Blake’s sister, said at the rally Thursday. “We will not allow you all to just treat them like they’re nothing, just because they didn’t have a viral video, just because their name isn’t in lights. We’re going to share this spotlight.”

What we know about the shooting

While the Waukegan Police Department has confirmed that body and squad car camera footage of the shooting does exist, they say it will not be released to the public until after a full investigation takes place — a process that could take weeks or months to complete. Most of the information available about the shooting comes from the police department, the surviving victim, and a handful of witnesses.

According to the Waukegan police, the encounter began at 11:55 pm CT on October 20, when authorities received a report of a suspicious vehicle (according to the victims’ families, the couple was sitting inside their car outside Williams’s mother’s home). Williams was behind the wheel, and Stinnette was in the passenger’s seat. Police say an officer attempted to investigate the car when the vehicle unexpectedly fled the scene.

Shortly afterward, a different police officer spotted the car about half a mile away. The officer exited their patrol vehicle, and began walking toward the car. At that point, the police say the couple’s car reversed toward the officer, who, “in fear for his safety,” opened fire into the car with his semiautomatic pistol. The police did not describe how far the officer was from the car, how fast it was moving, or any other details of the shooting, except the fact that no weapons were found inside the car.

Stinnette and Williams were both shot and rushed to a local hospital, where police say Stinnette died shortly thereafter. Williams, who was shot in the stomach and hand, did not sustain life-threatening injuries and continues to receive treatment for her wounds.

Darrell Mosier, a witness to the shooting, recounted a somewhat different version of events, suggesting that Williams had no intention of harming the officer, and that she was merely panicked.

“The police officer got out of the car,” Mosier recalled. “When he told them to stop, he told her to stop, she was scared. She put up her hands, she started yelling, ‘Why you got a gun?’ She started screaming. He just started shooting.”

Mosier continued, “I heard the girl. Her hands went up. She said, ‘I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t try to run you over. We got no guns or nothing.’”

The families of Stinnette and Williams, and Williams herself, have also challenged the police department’s account of the shooting.

“Why did you shoot?” Williams, asked in a video taken from her hospital bed. “I didn’t do nothing wrong. I have a license. You didn’t tell me I was under arrest. Why did you just flame up my car like that? Why did you shoot?”

  WHITE PRIVILEGE

WE honor you today, the fallen. We remember your sacrifice and will use it to unite America. Death has purpose. Death is a direction. Death is an opportunity to reflect and make course corrections. Death informs.

What I and every person have learned in this epoch of murder is the meaning of WHITE PRIVILEGE...White privilege is legislators like Manchin and Sinema. They have time. They can waste ours. While we are being slaughtered in the streets by the police, they can wait, have discussions and deliberate some more for the measures at hand do not personally effect them. It is not an issue that they would lower themselves to debate. As Washington awaits a decision about its statehood, they can wait for those impacted by the ruling are predominately people of color. No damn it, they are mostly Black. I have not heard them spend one second in discussion on the criminality in the killing of George Floyd. It is beneath them. Heaven forbid if they would demand that the state of North Carolina or its police department to release to the public the tape of the body camera footage in the assassination of Andre Brown. No ! White privilege grants them the opportunity to wait.White privilege allows these congressmen to introduce laws which violate rights guaranteed by the Constitution. I have not heard one word from them regarding the voter suppression in some 43 states. Forty three states!!! That is unconscionable. Now the president has introducted his plans to bring the country to the 22nd Century and they have a problem.White privilege permits them to step away from the party’s agenda even when it benefits the entire nation but runs afoul of their particular plans. They are not statesmen for police reform, voting rights or statehood for D.C, ending the filibuster or minimum wage for working class families..These laws would give hope and a better life to all people in the republic. They , these white advantaged narcissists, parade around as patriots who want the best for the country. They truly want the best for themselves. They are the real criminals...We have to vote them out or have them change their ways. We don’t have the luxury of waiting for them to decide our fate. We will lose our country if we so do.
