DETROIT POLICE SEX SCANDALS: WHO IS MONITORING POLICE BRUTALITY?
Artrell Dickerson, 18 when he was killed by Officer Kata-Ante Taylor.
I WAS THERE . I WAS NO MORE THAN 10 FEET AWAY. I SPENT ARTRELL’S LAST DAY, LAST HOUR, LAST MOMENT WITH HIM. I KNEW ARTRELL ALMOST HIS WHOLE LIFE. HE SWEET, LOVING AND CARING. HE DID WHAT EVER HE COULD DO FOR ANYONE. I WATCHED MR. TAYLOR SHOOT HIM IN HIS BACK AND BECAUSE HE IS COP HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER. MY FRIEND NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO EVEN HAVE A CHILD. HIS LIFE WAS CUT DOWN BY TRIGGER HAPPY COP. I JUST FOUND OUT HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE AYANA JONES THING AND MR. TAYLOR IS STILL A COP WHILE AN 18 AND 6 YEAR OLD ARE GONE. I STILL CRY EVERY DAY FOR MY FRIEND I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT MY FRIEND AND ITS BEEN ALMOST 6 YEARS. IN SEPTEMBER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 23. I WONDER IF MR. TAYLOR KNOWS HOW HIS ACTIONS HAVE EFFECTED OTHER PEOPLE.
Kiana, this is Diane Bukowski, publisher of Voice of Detroit. I am SO sorry that you and your friend Artell suffered this tragedy. I reported on his killing earlier for The Michigan Citizen and now continue with the Voice of Detroit. I re-posted your comment with the actual story, which I believe was “Detroit Police Sex Scandals–Who is Monitoring Police Brutality.” Somehow your comment got connected to Artrell’s photo instead of the story. I’ll add you to my email alert list for the Voice of Detroit and please let your friends know about this publication.
