This happens every single day.
Black people are fearful of cops because they can brutalize and murder with no repercussions. This is just one of many examples, and it almost cost a kid his life.
Ulysses Wilkerson’s family was searching for answers as to how the 17-year-old ended up like this after an encounter with Troy police.
“He had trauma to the brain, swelling on the brain, and a cracked eye socket in three different places,” said Ulysses Wilkerson Jr. , Ulysses’ father.
Many of the 61,000 shares of the Facebook post said they were outraged.
“From all over the world, people are commenting they want justice,” said his father.
It is said that officers saw Wilkerson coming around the corner of a building in downtown Troy. When they tried to speak to him, he fled leading to a foot chase that ended here, on Madison Street. One witness said she saw officers surrounding Wilkerson who appeared to be unconscious.
“You could see the swelling of his face you could tell he had a lot of bleeding. He looked like he was passed out or maybe in and out of consciousness.” said Brittany Patterson, who drove by the scene.
Wilkerson wasn’t charged with any crime because he didn’t do anything besides being a scared kid.
