"Bishop Herbert Daughtry Preaches Empowerment From The Pulpit And Action In The Community"
Bishop Herb Daughtry Joins Activists To Protest The Police Killing Of Bernard Placide
By Bishop Herbert Daughtry
Last night, (1/3) I attended the Englewood Council Meeting, to support the family of Bernard Placide, a 22 year old Black male. He was shot to death in his own home by a White female police officer.
There have been many meetings, marches and rallies. The community became furious when it learned that the officer who shot Bernard was promoted. The city said the officer has not been promoted but reassigned.
The Council meeting was packed, two deep standing room only. Former police chief Scott Jenkins, one of the key organizers, Rick another organizer, veteran organizer Lawrence Hamm, members of NAN, and the family of Bernard were some the leaders present and made statements.
