Isaiah Brown, a Black Gay Man, Was Shot by Sheriff’s Deputy 10 Times After Calling for Assistance
VIRGINIA The Spotsylvania County Police Department just joined the list of police departments that are under scrutiny because one of their own officers, a sheriff’s deputy, fired on and shot 10 times an unarmed gay man after calling 911 for assistance and declaring he was unarmed, according to the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition.
“Isaiah Brown should not be hospitalized in critical condition. He should be living his life as he has always lived it – in service to others as an essential worker and health aide,” read a statement by David Johns, executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a leading civil rights group. “All reporting indicates that Brown complied with orders, which included raising his arms with his cell phone in hand, and informing the 911 dispatcher he was unarmed ahead of police arrival.”
