#antwonrose

#antwonrose was fleeing a traffic stop in June 2018 in East Pittsburgh. He was 17 and unarmed. Planned to be a chemical engineer. Loved his sister. Loved his niece. A very giving and generous soul. Shot 3 times in the back by a cop on his first day. There was video from a witness. His mother is friends with lots of police. Antwon played with their kids. The officer who shot him was sworn in earlier that day and was aquitted in March 2019. The family won a civil suit most of which covered legal, medical, and funeral costs. Nothing that would bring their beloved family back. #sayhisname https://www.instagram.com/p/CBe1_jiJrry/?igshid=bzg88sineqps

BLACK LIVES MATTER. ~ ~ As an artist with a platform —and more importantly as a white man— it’s imperative that I use my privilege to uplift voices that go unheard. I create to speak what is in my heart so, again, it is important for me to say this: BLACK LIVES MATTER. ~ I encourage you to donate to the valuable work being done locally by groups like @1hoodmedia @sisterspgh412 and @onepennsylvania. Donate to @bukitbailfund who is doing the work to get those wrongfully arrested back to their families. ~ Black people are being gunned down in the streets by police. It needs to end. Listen to the people experiencing this injustice first hand. Listen to them. Hear them. Follow them. ~ Stand up with me. Share this. Say his name. Say their names. #georgefloyd #antwonrose #blacklivesmatter #pittsburgh #whatsideareyouon #justiceforgeorgefloyd (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6YasppyN5/?igshid=14yknoz0pj529

💔✊🏿🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #SayHisName #AntwonRose #JusticeForAntwon #Art by @blkgrlabsolute & @r_ray7. Antwon Rose II was an unarmed Black 17-year-old shot in the back by then-East Pittsburgh white police officer Michael Rosfeld in June 2018. Last week, a jury deliberated for less than four hours before aquitting Rosfeld of criminal homicide. Police killing unarmed Black people is WHY @kaepernick7 took a knee. Reposted from @blkgrlabsolute - When @1hoodmedia artists come together, we create something powerful. This was a collaboration between @r__ray7 and myself in order to honor the life of Antwon Rose and to demand his justice be served. On this the final day of the trial of his killer, we extend love and support to Ms. Kenney and the rest of Antwon’s family. #blm #BlackLivesMatter #justiceforantwonrose #artivism #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvr9_uhhxXk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jxfagtvjy1l8
