YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn New York City on Monday, over 100 people marched to protest the recent police killing of AfricanAmerican mother Korryn Gaines in Maryland. On August 1, Baltimore County police killed the 23yearold mother after what they say was an armed standoff. Police were at Gaines’s apartment to execute an arrest warrant related to a traffic violation. They initially said they entered Korryn Gaines’s apartment with a key obtained from her landlord. But court documents say police kicked down the door. Once the police entered the apartment, Korryn Gaines was livestreaming the standoff via Facebook before her account was shut down. Police say they killed Gaines after she pointed a shotgun at them. Police also say they shot her 5yearold son, Kodi Gaines, who suffered an injury to his cheek but survived. We speak to protesters in New Yorker and to Charlene Carruthers the national director of the Black Youth Project 100.
