Body camera footage from March 25th shooting has been released
On Monday afternoon, CMPD released body camera footage of the officer-involved shooting which took the life of 27-year-old father, Danquirs Franklin on March 25, 2019.
Video shows Franklin being ordered multiple times to put down a gun, which is not visible. He appears to reach to his side with his right hand and pull out a gun by the barrel, without pointing it at anyone, in a possible attempt to comply with orders. Officer Wende Kerle then fires two shots, at least one of which hits Franklin. After being shot, Franklin turns and says to officers “you told me to…”
CMPD has said although multiple officers were on the scene, only Officer Kearle’s body camera footage is available.

How long are we going to “comply” with this foolishness and loss of Black men lives before we DEMAND the resignation of Chief Putney, who stands by his “officers” even when they’re WRONG? In this community it appears that “Citizens LIVES DON’T MATTER!” Neither does “Black Lives!”
