Protest against Detroit police murder of Aiyana Stanley Jones, held in downtown Detroit June 26, 2010
Detroit, August 15, 2011 –
“The Justice for Aiyana Jones Committee (JAJC) in response to the City of Detroit’s request for a gag order in the civil lawsuit against the City of Detroit vehemently objects to this request on the grounds that the Detroit Police Department needs to provide transparency into what actually happened when Aiyana was killed by one of its officers, and so that Detroit citizens can get some relief in this case as it deals with the other horrific and mounting crimes around the city,” says JAJC Chief, Roland Lawrence.
“Something is a foul with the Detroit Police Department. As such, the family of Aiyana Jones, and the citizens of Detroit have been tortured enough, and need some answers. Any reasonable person will conclude that the Detroit Police and the Mayor Bing and others are hiding something; and that “something” does not smell good. Both the criminal and civil cases must move quickly to the center stage without further delay.”
The Justice for Aiyana Jones Committee (JAJC) was formed to exact justice for Aiyana Jones and her family as a result of the Detroit Police Department and other entities botched raid of her home which resulted in her death.

VOD EDITOR: The court hearing on the requested gag order in Aiyana’s case will be held Friday Aug. 26 in front of Judge Daphne Means Curtis in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. Now is the time for the people of Detroit to PACK THE COURT to demand an end to this travesty. Not only is the City stonewalling, the producers of “48 Hours” have refused to provide their videotapes of the police assault on Aiyana’s home, including the SRT team throwing a stun grenade through her living room window, and officer James Weekley shooting her in the head on entry into the home. This is a conspiracy of government and corporatocracy. Aiyana today, YOUR child next! Full story coming this week in Voice of Detroit.
