CW: Death, Police Murder
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets over the last few days, to decry the police murder of Sayed Faisal, a 20 year old CVS employee and student in the #Boston suburb of #Cambridge, #Massachusetts.
Responding to a 911 call, police arrived on the scene to find Sayed cutting himself with a knife and claim that after asking him to disarm himself and then shooting a "less-lethal projectile," he lunged at him, leading police to open fire, killing him.
However, local media reports that "surveillance video and witness accounts suggest Faisal was running from police, trying to hurt himself," when he was shot and killed.
Community members claim that Faisal was in the midst of a mental health crisis and needed support and instead was shot and killed by law enforcement. This killing follows an ongoing pattern of police murdering people in the midst of a mental health episode.
