Amber Guyger, a white female officer, killed Botham Shem Jean in his own apartment in Dallas and her story isn't adding up. Apparently, she thought she had entered her own apartment when she killed him. But so many questions remain unanswered: How do you mistake someone else's apartment for your own? Was she drunk or on drugs? How did she get into the apartment? Did she know Botham personally? And making it even more unbelievable, the officer's story keeps changing. At first, she said that the door to Botham's apartment was locked. Now she's telling investigators that she yelled at Botham to show his hands after she walked into HIS apartment. However, the attorney representing Botham's family has received witness accounts from neighbors saying that they heard "knocking down the hallway followed by a woman's voice that they believe to be officer Guyger saying, 'Let me in. Let me in.'" So many questions remain unanswered and Amber Guyger is only getting more time to re-work her story. We need answers and transparency now.  When police kill Black people they almost always get away with it and are protected under the "blue code of silence." And this is no different. Any other person, especially if they were Black, would have been arrested immediately and charged with home invasion and murder. But the Dallas Police Department gave Guyger THREE days to craft her story before she was arrested or even publicly identified. She was released immediately after her arrest on manslaughter charges. She's free. And she's still on Dallas Police Department payroll. Dallas District Attorney, Faith Johnson, is in charge of this case and has the power to make the final decision on the charges that Amber will face for killing Botham. In a press statement, she alluded to the inadequacy of manslaughter charges and said, "The grand jury will decide if the charges should be different. Believe me, we will make sure justice is done in this case." So we need to turn the pressure up on DA Johnson and make sure she keeps her promise by ensuring Amber Guyger is charged with murder and that the Dallas Police Department gets Amber Guyger off the force.

I have been "harassed" in many ways by this deputy. He has constantly driven by my house or followed me with his lights off as I was following the law. I have many friends who can say the same thing. We aren't doing anything bad and he chooses to follow us around and constantly watch us when there are more illegal things to be focused on. He has targeted my family and my friends for as long as I can remember and I'm starting to feel like I can't leave my own house without him following us or watching us.

Trump has started a petition against ESPN for deciding not to air the National Anthem during its football telecasts. We need a counter-petition to show him that his rants against respectful protests highlighting the existence of police brutality are not supported by mainstream America.

President Donald Trump continues to blatantly disrespect members of the African-American community. His administration is eager to capitalize on photo opportunities, such as hosting a recent visit by African-American ministers or falsely claiming the creation of 3 times more jobs for African-Americans than President Obama. However, his non-diversified administration refuses to allocate adequate resources to address a myriad of problems plaguing the African-American community. Instead, his administration doggedly works to reverse the gains made during the Civil Rights Movement and following the death of Dr. Martin Luther Jr. on April 4, 1968. Instead, President Trump continues to spew unbridled hatred towards some of our country's most prominent African-American citizens, including Congressman John Lewis, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, NFL Player Colin Kaepernick, NBA Player Lebron James, and CNN Journalist Don Lemon. Most recently he described ex-White House Aid Omarosa Manigault as a "dog". These actions denigrate the office of President of the United States and create a permeating cloud of disrespect towards the African-American community.

All of us, 8 billion of the world population, is affected because there are those who believe in superior and inferior races, deviating from science.

The Grigsbys are trying to get the news of their federal lawsuit out to the community. They believe it is important to inform others who might also have been discriminated against by BFCU. The Dept. Of Housing and Urban Development is investigating the charges. The Shreveport Sun newspaper published two concise, accurate and unbiased articles about the lawsuit. The Inquisitor also published an article about the lawsuit. We believe the TV stations and major newspaper should also do so.
