Rest In Power Michael Marshall – The Latest Victim of Denver Police Violence | revolution-news.com

Rest In Power Michael Marshall – The Latest Victim of Denver Police Violence | revolution-news.com: This is the challenge facing some communities in Denver, and many communities across the United States. But it’s a challenge they’ve faced before.
In 2010, Denver sheriff deputies pummeled, tasered, and beat Marvin Booker to death in the Denver jail. Why? Booker was a 50-something, Black, slender, unhoused, and beloved street preacher, who dealt with mental health challenges, and he didn’t want to give up his shoes.
Marvin Booker wasn’t a threat. He wasn’t violent. And he didn’t need to be separated from his shoes, which were one of his only possessions.
But in the milieu of discipline and punishment, control of bodies, and the breaking of human spirits, Denver sheriff deputies used such force to separate Booker from his shoes that he subsequently died.
Nobody was reprimanded. Nobody was held to account. If you spend time in Denver’s jail today you may be held under guard by some of the same people who murdered Marvin Booker.
