Justice for Junior... updates? Petition.
Hey babblers,
For those of you who don't know, in May 5th an 18 year old in Toronto was beaten to death by the cops after he fled on foot from a routine traffic stop.
His name was Junior 'Tubbz' Manon.
The police originally said that he collapsed while running away. They claimed he died of a heart attack.
Eyewitness accounts are contrary to this story. First two cops were seen beating him, later being joined by five more. When his body was viewed before autopsy he was bloody and bruised and still had a neck brace on.
The story is here:http://torontodominicano.com/2010/05/07/18-year-old-junior-alexander-manon-beaten-to-death-by-toronto-police-on-may-5/
The SIU is "on the case", but I hold out little hope for justice.
I was wondering if anyone has heard anything? Anyone have any updates?
In the meantime, Junior's mother has asked that people sign this petition:http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/justice-for-junior.html
If anyone has any thoughts on what we can do, or suggestions, or updates, please post them here.
Let's bring justice to these killer cops!
Oh, and also wondering if there any updates on the SIU's challenge to Fantino.
