Jacksonville
Police officers beat Le’Keian Woods in Florida.
DOJ says they are monitoring the JSO after officers’ brutal September beating of 24-year-old Black man Le’Keian Woods.
Attorneys representing the family of Le’Keian Woods called on the DOJ to open an investigation into the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff T.K. Waters says the beating was justified.
Video, which was captured by a bystander, shows Jacksonville officers detaining and arresting Le'Keian Woods, 24, after a traffic stop.
These moving images show a community healing, protesting and demanding change.
With or without the boos, Ron DeSantis shouldn't have even shown up at the vigil in Jacksonville to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting.
The "original" target of the racist, deadly mass shooting in Jacksonville was Edward Waters University before a campus officer thwarted the would-be attack, the HBCU's president said.
Never forget he called it “a joke."
Edward Waters University's president said campus security took swift action.
The gunman who killed at least three people "hated Black people," officials said.
Rayme McCoy fell victim to a racist verbal attack by Kevin Williamson who then punched her more than 10 times at a Jacksonville gas station. Her lawyers want him to face hate charges.
