KIM GRAY
DOESN’T GIVE
A FUCK
ABOUT
BLACK LIVES.

A thread...
Back in January 2019, just months after the murder of @JusticeforMDP, @LevarStoney proposed the expansion of the VCU police department.
Here is Kim Gray in the Public Safety Committee Meeting DAYS before city council voted to expand the jurisdiction.

Important note for later: Reva and Kim are notorious for cancelling or scheduling meetings when most folks impacted by policing are unavailable/ not reached out to
At the upcoming city council meeting, community members came out in overwhelming opposition to the police expansion.

“Who asked for this?”
After our community spoke out, Kim Gray followed through on her promise to Chief Smith - supporting the police expansion by sharing a sensationalized story with no sources available to consult on accuracy.

And using her Black son to increase police presence in Black communities.
Kim continues to list fatal shootings in the city, but ignores community members who spoke before her citing the death of @JusticeforMDP and their concern for fatal shootings by police officers.
If you side with Kim Gray, you side with rEbA TrAmMell. Don’t do it.
And after Reva wiped away her white tears, council proceeded to vote on expanding VCUPD’s jurisdiction further into Richmond’s historically Black community.

Council members @mikejonesradio and Agelasto were the only members to vote no on this item.
