Today the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability released footage from body worn police cameras and home surveillance cameras documenting the police murder of 22 year old Anthony Alvarez. He was running from police on foot and police shot him in the back multiple times.

The article summarizes the footage and Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s and police superintendent’s cowardly responses. It does NOT contain video footage or images of Anthony’s murder. To see footage, there is an additional link within this article to access the version with video.

Chicago Police murdered Anthony Alvarez only three days after they killed another Latinx youth, 13 year-old Adam Toledo.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot predictably calls on residents to remain “peaceful” in the face of repeated execution of our city’s Latinx youth and suggests that reforms to traffic stops and foot chases could prevent further tragedies. Reform serves only to extend the existence of police, assert their legitimacy, extend their reach into public and private life, and funnel more resources into police departments. Police will murder as long as they are allowed to exist.

Rest In Peace and in Power, Anthony Alvarez.

“Just days after Chicago police fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo with his hands up they shot and killed 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez from behind.”

“This Latino man died during an interaction with police the day before the Derek Chauvin verdict came out.

The initial report said Mario Gonzalez died of a medical emergency, but new bodycam footage shows that he was pinned facedown by police for five minutes while in handcuffs.”

ShotSpotter is what brought cops to the site where they murdered 13-year-old Adam Toledo. CPD's sprawling surveillance network isn't life-saving technology, it's a repressive apparatus that kills people.

“The fact that the U.S. never really had a meaningful lockdown/quarantine out of fear of the damage it would do to the economy is a pretty good sign of how effective a general strike would be.”
