If this article makes you angry, check out the lawsuit: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:36448809-ca52-4e6f-8653-73dbbbda9c3c
Leak the footage perhaps?
Just read the title and my first thought was "PG county?" And sure enough, fuck those cops.
Fuck those. That is completely unnecessary.
The county offered to compensate Umana for her veterinary bills if she agreed to refrain from publicly speaking about the shooting, but she rejected the offer, according to her lawsuit.
If you killed my pet (my friend), I'd never take a small amount of vet fees over speaking out against you. Get fucked.
The lawsuit then lists 42 of what it called "a sampling of such incidents" -- including the January 2020 killing of an unarmed Black man, William Green.
Green was handcuffed in a police car when he was shot and killed by Michael Owen Jr., who was a 10-year veteran of the police department.
Under what circumstances do you need to shoot someone handcuffed in the back of a cruiser? Holy shit.
