Hundreds Mourn Unarmed Teenager Killed By NYPDBy ONN | Posted on: February 19, 2012New York, NY - Funeral services were held Saturday for Ramarley Graham, the unarmed teenager who was shot to death by New York police officers earlier this month. Many of those who attended, first stopped in front of the 47th Precinct to protest the NYPD's response to the incident. The hearse carrying the 18 year-old's body drove to the precinct following the funeral, and dozens of cars in the procession honked their horns. Graham's family got out and stood outside. Graham's father, Franclot, maintains that some officers are making light of his son's death. "Sitting on top of the building laughing," he said which continued her assertion that cops were "laughing" and "giggling" at the police station when talking about the shooting that took his son's life SEE PARENTS INTERVIEW >>> http://ournewsnow.com/national/2059/Ramarley-Graham%27s-Parents-Express-Outrage-Over-Shooting-of-Son Earlier in the day, family, friends, dignitaries and even strangers paid their respects at Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church on White Plains Road. Graham has a large family, and many came in from Jamaica for the service. Pastor Harold Morris of Crawford Memorial said this is a very difficult time and that all he can do is pray for the family. “It’s a very, very tough time for them, and it’s a very tough time for this community,” said Morris. “Even through the service last night, they were screaming ‘justice, justice.’ And I just hope something can be resolved from this very quickly.” On February 2, police officers shot and killed the unarmed teen inside of his home on East 229th Street. Police say they thought Graham had a gun. The officer who shot him and the officer's sergeant were both placed on modified duty. |
