amir locke was only 22 years old when he was murdered by the minneapolis police department. the morning of 02/02/2022 he was asleep on a couch, vulnerable and wrapped in a blanket. he was comfortable and warm.
amir was startled awake by the police barging into the apartment unannounced, only screaming once they were inside. amir grabbed his legal firearm, and was shot multiple times before he even had time to pull the blanket off of himself. it only took nine seconds to kill him.
to be black and simply exist is a radical act in the face of white supremacy, punishable by execution. his name was amir locke and his life had VALUE. he mattered. say his name.
