Gretna, LA — In a case horrifyingly similar to that of Kelly Thomas in Fullerton, California, a young mentally ill man by the name of Kendole Joseph was beaten to death on video by untrained and outright rabid cops. Despite the killing happening in February, and the family’s repeated demands to see the surveillance footage, the video wasn’t released until this week.
It was a “murder on tape” family attorney Michael Oppenheimer said during a press conference on Friday, noting that police released the video publicly before they even had the common decency to show it to the family.
Joseph’s family was joined by civil rights activist Ja’Mal Green who also decried the response from police.
“We saw that surveillance video,” Green said to reporters. “It proves everything that we had been saying from the beginning. Kendole had a mental health issue and the Gretna Police Department didn’t know how to deal with it, so they killed him.”
“He was simply minding his own business,” said Oppenheimer of how the incident began. “He harmed no one. He wouldn’t harm a flea.”
