URGENT! Please Help the Family of Nate Wilks Get the Truth!

We gotta try new approaches if we are to ever take back control of our own lives; especially those of young Black males. Please consider donating even $1.00 to the cause of raising money for an independent autopsy for Nate Wilks, who was shot to death only days before his 28th birthday.

The autopsy conducted by the government of course contradicted everything the eye-witnesses testified to. Having law enforcement officials investigate fellow law enforcement officers in cases like this is the same as asking a gang member to judge and speak out in truth against his fellow brother. CLICK HERE TO GO TO DONATION SITE.

The cops will, if we are lucky, 1% of the time, find wrong doing to belong to officers. Independent investigations and autopsy’s are NEEDED but so is money. We need to unite; we need community; we need to all join and do anything we can… Even if it is just sharing this petition and raising awareness to this young man and his plight.

Please, do anything you can… Whatever you do, please do not remain silent…

What: Raise $5,000 to pay for an independent autopsy for Nathaniel Wilks, who was shot to death by Oakland police last week.

When: ASAP. We need to raise the funds in the NEXT FOUR DAYS–by Sunday, August 23rd. Sunday is the day before Nathaniel’s mother will return to NY and three days before what would have been Nate’s 28th birthday.

Why: On Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 27-year-old Nathaniel Wilks was shot and murdered by Oakland police at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and 27th St. in Oakland, CA.

A team of Anti-Police Terror Project First Responders arrived at the intersection within half an hour of the shooting and spoke with over a dozen eye-witnesses. Every first-hand account has been consistent on this point: Nate was running away from the cops when he was shot.

In the week that has followed, however,

Oakland Police Shoot Innocent Teen in the Face

Nothing left for me to say. The video and information below is all I would be repeating. Spread the word. This never ceases to anger me, but re-writing it won’t do any good. All that matters is the info is out, and that we take action.

“At around 9:50 p.m. on April 3rd, 2013, a report was made of a strong-arm robbery on 10th and Clay Streets in downtown Oakland. The initial description made in the report was of three black men in their mid-twenties, riding on bicycles and all armed with a knife.

Police claim a witness brought responding officers to several teenagers they thought were the suspects. The witness told police that the teens were in the midst of committing a robbery just down the block. The teens claim that they were simply talking to girls and hanging out.

Police approached the teenagers and despite the difference in age description, and the fact that they didn’t have any bikes, detained them under suspicion of being the robbers.

Within two minutes of arriving on the scene, an officer drew his weapon and fired a single shot at one of the teenager’s faces. The bullet grazed the sixteen-year-old’s jaw and cheek, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

According to the Oakland Police Department (OPD), no one had to get shot in this case and police have now determined that the teenagers were not involved in the robbery. However, a gun is more often used when drawn then it ever could be when holstered. This shooting is a reminder that calling the police can have a deadly impact. Both the witness and OPD have blood on their hands in this incident.”
