500 Protest Cop Shooting Of Ramarley Graham

Hundreds of protesters come out in Bronx to show solidarity in killing of unarmed Williamsbridge teen shot in his apartment.

An angry crowd protesting police treatment of minorities gathered Monday outside of the Bronx residence where an unarmed teen was fatally shot by cops last week.  Ramarley Graham, 18, was killed by narcotics detectives who followed him as he fled into his parents’ Williamsbridge apartment. He was in the bathroom when he was shot once in the upper portion of his chest.

About 500 demonstrators attended the rally and called for an end to police brutality. “We are human beings. Stop treating us like animals,” Frank Graham, the slain teen’s father, told the crowd. “My son did nothing wrong. I want justice for my son, my baby.”  Juanita Young, 57, the mother of Malcolm Ferguson, a 23-year-old who was killed during a struggle with a narcotics officer in 2000, joined in the rally to show solidarity with Graham’s parents.

After gathering outside of the E. 229th St. apartment building where the Grahams live, the boisterous crowd marched to the local 47th Precinct stationhouse while chanting: “NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?”
