Following numerous requests to release footage capturing the incident, the police department’s Facebook page posted that the “vehicle involved in this incident” was “not equipped” with a dashcam.
Many expressed doubt that there was no dashcam on the car involved in the crash, given that the BBPD had built a new headquarters and equipped all of their officers and squad cars with cameras. Surveillance video released of the moments before the crash, furthermore, shows a more modern squad car trailing Davis as he left a gas station.

Ft. Lauderdale Food Not Bombs wins settlement in federal lawsuit against City of Fort Lauderdale
After a 7-year-long legal battle between Ft. Lauderdale Food Not Bombs and the City of Fort Lauderdale, FNB has won a settlement and payment for legal fees by the City for attempting to ban food sharing in parks.
The settlement came amid Food Not Bombs’ victory in their 2nd appeal of the lawsuit in August 2021, and, according to the group’s Facebook page, will create “a strongly worded precedent about sharing food as protected free speech.”
We had to bite our tongues a lot over the years to see how this would play out, but no more. We out-lived and out-maneuvered the old Mayor, City Manager, and City Attorney, who were all intent on policing us and the homeless out of existence. Fuck them! Let’s not forget multiple FLPD Chiefs and Captains who sent their goons to stalk and arrest us, all gone now! Nuts to all the narrow-minded fools who wanted to be rid of us.

Dozens gather at Boynton Beach city commission meeting demanding justice for Stanley Davis Jr.
Dozens of Boynton Beach community members attended the city commission meeting on Tuesday to demand justice for Stanley Davis Jr. a.k.a SJ, a 13-year-old Black boy killed in a crash while being chased by police on his dirt bike.
Stanley Davis, SJ’s father, requested a thorough and transparent investigation, asking the mayor and city commissioners to “do what’s right.” Davis also revealed that the medical examiner had found that his son had tears in his eyes at the time of his death, according to an autopsy.
"For me to hear from the medical examiner that my son had tears in his eyes, meaning he was crying while being chased … That’s what tears me apart. To know that his final moment, he was alone. He was afraid."

Dozens in St. Petersburg Protest Racist Police Shooting of Christopher Tonsel
Dozens of Tampa Bay community members gathered at the St. Petersburg police department headquarters on Friday, protesting the racist police shooting of 17-year-old Christopher Tonsel by deputy Leighton Williams.
In recently published body camera footage, Tonsel is seen dropping his weapon in compliance with an order given by police, before officer Leighton Williams shoots him moments later as Tonsel’s weapon falls to the ground. The footage completely contradicted previous police statements that claimed the 17-year-old had aimed his gun at officer Williams.
Demonstrators demanded that officer Leighton Williams be charged with attempted murder and that Cristopher Tonsel have trumped-up charges of aggravated assault on a police officer dropped.
