Police Brutality under our noses
2 years ago I proudly marched down main street with a number of passionate people and the family of a little girl who was murdered by Joplin Police through a grotesque act of negligence. Our cries were not heard and tragedy struck again January of this year when Officer Jeremiah McGough brutally attacked a 15 year old who was seeking help from 911 for a mental health crisis. Once again the City of Joplin is trying to sweep their mess under the rug. We will be standing again at City Hall on July 20th at 5pm to make sure our voices will be heard by protesting outside the city council meeting. We are demanding that accountability and justice be held for the countless victims of the stronghold Joplin Police has on its citizens and exerts with no regard for consequence.
