So, is this about to go full political? Nothing good happens after midnight.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indianapolis Metropolitan police are investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting.
It happened just before 2 a.m. near 23rd Street and Aqueduct Street on the near northwest side of the city.
According to police, this started with a traffic stop that led to a short chase. Once the chase was over, two officers discharged their weapons. A 45-year-old man was critically injured and taken to Eskenazi Hospital, where he later died. He has been identified as Aaron Bailey.
NAACP gets involved:
“Use of excessive force by law enforcement officers can no longer be tolerated in our communities. The lack of accountability erodes trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve which impedes the ability to solve crime,” Mrs. Ratcliffe said. “The NAACP is committed to a proactive approach to police shootings and all other forms of police brutality. Our solution to this egregious problem is accountability.
“It is a human and civil rights issue. When there are no systems for accountability, safety is affected and anyone can be a victim. Let Indianapolis be the last time people lose their lives and families are terrorized by a police force without accountability. Law enforcement accountability means safer communities for us all.”
