In a tragic story, a rising rapper by the name of Willie Bo was shot and killed by 6 police officers after finding him inside of his car sleep. Authorities say they received a call about a man slumped inside his car in public parking lot. Upon arrival, police found Willie Bo inside unresponsive with a gun apparently resting in his lap. However, Willie Bo's sudden movement proved to be fatal as officers opened fire on the 21-year-old “in fear for their own safety.”
Willie's older brother Marc McCoy spoke out about the choice to jump straight to deadly force as he told reporters, “There was no attempt to try to work out a peaceful solution." He continued, “The police’s job is to arrest people who are breaking the law - not take the law into your own hands. You’re not judge, jury, and executioner…We’re never going to get over this.” McCoy concluded by stating that the police "do not respect black people. Even when they have a person subdued and their life is not in danger, they continue to be blatantly physically disrespectful. That is just accepted in America.”
