Before 16 shoots!

We all know about the night that a Black child was shot 16 times by a Chicago police officer; however, what was the story before that night; what happened in that child’s life that leads him to be walking that night to be killed? Could he had gotten some help before that night that could have changed his path in life is what I want to write about.

I have for the past year been fighting Cook County probate court, CVLS and a system where a cook county judge sits on the bench with one job is to save young children; however, told me that going to college, playing baseball, growing up with 2 parent’s and being adopted is not the right path for a young black boy.

I have watched as a lawyer who was placed into the position to be the GAL for this young man who has talked about his racist views and still is allowed to represent the best interest of black boys. CVLS and ARDC felt that just because he was racist does not make him a bad lawyer. When asked about protecting, what is best for this young black boy; to be told that is not the job of the courts. After they give the children back to the mothers, what she does with, and too them is not the concern of cook county courts.

The young man that was gun down 16 times like a wild animal came up thought this same system and at some time during his life he had a gal, a judge and others to feel that it was better for him to be walking the street one night and to be gun down than at home asleep getting ready for school or to play baseball.

All that I request is for someone to take the time to review the cook county probate case of the Est. of Z. Washington and tell me was justice done in his best interest or was it a prelude to 16 Shoots”!
