Come out to support the family of #DelrawnSmall in a protest of Monday’s verdict that found NYPD Officer Wayne Isaacs not guilty of murder and manslaughter for shooting and killing Delrawn on July 4, 2016 in Brooklyn. Delrawn was unarmed and walking up to Isaacs’ car when Isaacs shot Delrawn three times, in front of his girlfriend, their 4-month-old son, and her 14-year-old daughter. Isaacs left Delrawn on the ground to die without any medical attention or emergency aid, and didn’t even alert 911 that he had shot Delrawn.
Delrawn was a brother, a father, an uncle, and was a dear friend to so many. Delrawn’s family is devastated and horrified at the failure of the justice system to hold Isaacs accountable for this murder. It is unconscionable that once again the justice system is treating police officers as if they are above the law and Black lives as if they don’t matter. It is critical for New Yorkers of good conscience to support Delrawn’s family during this difficult time and voice their firm rejection of this state-sanctioned killing of Delrawn Small.
NYC: Show up and demonstrate that we will not accept this verdict quietly. We stand with Delrawn’s family in their fight for the NYPD to hold Officer Wayne Isaacs accountable for killing Delrawn.
