Friends and family of a teen who died after a Miami Beach police officer shocked him with a Taser will mark the one year anniversary of his death with music, poetry and a film.
Wednesday evening they gather at the abandoned restaurant where police say they caught the 18-year-old Israel Reefa Hernandez spraying graffiti on the walls.

I am pretty vigilant when it comes to police abuse.
This was not, in my opinion, a case of abuse.
The kid was breaking the law. He was told to stop. He ran. Police chased. Police tased. Kid collapses. Police call ambulance. Kid passes away.
For the last year, the media has amplified the family's notion the criminal was the victim.

I like caning for vandalism, as practiced in Indonesia.

His relatives want police and State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle to discipline the officers involved. Where was the discipline on their part to stop this kid from being a vandal?

Let’s all play guess what he was doing with the spray paint before deciding to paint the walls.

Not Reefa! He was going back to school to become an aspiring rapper.

IIRC, tasers have killed about 600 people so far.

So call it what it is.
A non judicial man slaughter.
The kids crime that will never see court is now secondary.

Lol.
This was a public service.
If you’re going to ping people unsolicited to stuff, make certain it is to something worthwhile.
