Black Lives Matter Sacramento

So I was doing some computer work on some spreadsheets today, trying to find some things out...
I stumbled into a page on the Sacramento County District Attorney website that listed all the police involved killings, and in custody deaths from 2014-2021 (please keep in mind this does not include 2022, so the numbers will increase)

Here at BLM Sacramento our focus is Black lives since we are disproportionately murdered more than any other demographic. 
We know that since 2014, we have been lifting the names of 20 people. That is a lot of names for one region. And thats only the Black folks. 

So here you go...lets get the details.

67 people on these lists were murdered by law enforcement within the county of Sacramento.
60👏🏾7👏🏾PEOPLE👏🏾SINCE👏🏾2👏🏾THOUSAND👏🏾FOUR👏🏾TEEN!

Sacramento Police Department, Citrus Heights Police Department, Elk Grove Police Department, Sacramento Sheriff Department, California Highway Patrol...you make me embarrassed to live here.

Here are the lists:

On this day, June 6th in 2018, Brandon Smith was taken from his children, family, and loved ones by the Sacramento County Probation Department and the Sacramento Police Department. 

Dazion Flenaugh was a sunchild and a peaceful soul who did not deserve to be unjustly taken from his family and loved ones by the Sacramento Police Department.  Dazion was walking and became disoriented and lost.  Police were called and instead of assisting Dazion who was in the middle of a mental health crisis, Dazion was illegally detained even though he had committed no crime. 

On March 18th, 2018, Stephon Clark was executed by the Sacramento Police Department. 

On March 17th, 2017 Desmond Phillips was murdered by the Chico Police Department. 

For the last couple years, Black Lives Matter Sacramento has been looking for space. At first we looked for office space. After learning that you will spend a grip every month for a small office, we decided to look for home rentals to get more space for our money. We almost went through with it. Got denied from a few places and kinda gave up. Then time went on and George Floyd was murdered...

Gabby Nevarez's life was stolen from her and those that love her, on March 2nd 2014. 

(Update: 2/17/2021 4:30pm: While citing the sources for this article, it appears that the Rocklin Police Department removed the audio records from the internet. Will pursue these recordings and update once they are re-released)

On February 25th 2017, Lorenzo Cruz was taken from his family allegedly by the Rocklin Police Department. We say “allegedly” because a lot of the facts are still unclear and the story has changed numerous times. 

On January 15th 2021, the Sacramento Sheriff Department's Gang Suppression Unit murdered Kershawn Geyger. In the information coming from the Sheriff department, an officer was also shot but in good condition and released. The Sheriff department never stated that Kershawn had a gun or that an officer was shot by the victim or his passenger. Something they would have made sure to do if this was in fact true. The department only gave info that implied this.
