Theodore Wafer was found guilty of murder in the death of 19 year old Renisha McBride. The Detroit jury found Wafer guilty of sescond degree murder. Sentencing is August 21 when Water could face a maximum of life with the possibility of parole. Renisha’s parents were pleased with the verdict; her mom called Wafer a “cold blooded killer.”
The hostile takeover by the state
The attempt to seize local control from the citizens of St. Louis will be met with organized—and might I add–hostile resistance (think pension, think future raises). That’s because citizens voted for local control of their police department in 2013 by a majority of citizens. That historic vote was the result of more than a decade of tireless organizing under the leadership of the Coalition Against Police Crimes and Repression (CAPCR).
