Tensions are running high in #california after the latest known case of alleged police brutality in the US has come to light. The family of Anthony Lowe Jr, a 36-year-old Black man who had both legs amputated last year, are demanding justice for what they consider a new racist murder by law enforcement officials. Lowe’s family are demanding that police in the city of Huntington Park, in southern Los Angeles County, California, release footage of officers responding to an emergency call that culminated in the death of Lowe, who was wheelchair-bound. The authorities claim that the suspect was wielding a knife, but family members are refusing to accept this version of events and have called the events another episode of alleged police brutality in the United States.
