Police Violence In Greensboro: The Scales' Brothers Case





Just days before Mike Brown was shot dead by Ferguson police Devin Scales and his brother were walking down the street in their neighborhood when they were targeted and harassed by a Greensboro Police Department (GPD) officer. The officer's vehicle was parked along side the same road that the Scales brothers were walking on.  Devin Scales was able to capture the arrest of his brother on video. Since, their case has gotten media attention, and the attention of the Greensboro community.  The citizens of Greensboro are establishing an independent community review board to address the injustices happening here in the hands of the GPD . Last week a press conference was held at the Beloved Community Center here in downtown Greensboro on behalf of Devin Scales and his brother's experience. That conference was shown on Fox8 News here: http://myfox8.com/2014/08/21/greensboro-group-wants-citizens-police-review-board/

Devin Scales was able to capture he and his brother's experience with police violence on camera you can watch it here:  http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=29d_1408250420


Become aware of the state in which we find ourselves.
