Accountability in the Richmond Police Department is long overdue. This is a story about Jason Norton, William "Jody" Blackwell, and how record-keeping and policy failures in the department blurred the lines between deceit, incompetence, and indifference. link.medium.com/797PiAAZ87

Reopen the case of the killing of Jeramy Gilliam & fulfill the promise you gave the family of Jeramy! I am glad to see interim Chief Blackwell step down but someone who has unjustly killed a richmond resident need not just be moved around without just consequence & accountability
THREE RPD CHIEFS DOWN!!!!

The FBI investigated Richmond Police Maj. William Blackwell (Mayor Stoney’s now-ousted choice for interim chief) in the killing of Jeramy Onassis Gilliam, who was shot in the back. The results are unclear, but there are calls to reopen the case. Richmonders, worth a read:

Mayor Stoney you literally just chose as interim police chief an officer that shot a black man named #JeramyOnassisGilliam in the back two times who didn’t even “fit the description.” His family was told he left the force in 2002. If you want trust reopen his case as a FIRST step

Over 70% of black and brown boys in our sample reported being hassled by police in the last 3 months. I remember a reviewer asking, "how can we believe anything these kids say?" Well, maybe you'll believe them now. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3139…
