As anger grows in Milwaukee over the police killing of 43-year-old Samuel Sharpe during the Republican National Convention, we speak with his sister, Angelique Sharpe, who says the family is fighting for transparency from the authorities and the full video of the fatal incident. “We really want justice for my brother,” says Angelique, who also explains that her brother’s life had been threatened by a “bully” and that he had actually called the police for help before he was killed. Samuel Sharpe was an unhoused Black man shot 27 times by police on Tuesday - but the officers were from Ohio, part of a deployment of thousands of outside law enforcement members in Wisconsin for the RNC. We are also joined by Wisconsin state Representative Darrin Madison, a Democratic Socialist, who says both Sharpe’s death and the killing of D’Vontaye Mitchell by hotel security guards weeks earlier point to a larger problem of anti-Black violence in Milwaukee.

We feel your pain, Milwaukee. ❤❤
Stay strong ✊🏽 love from Minneapolis ❤
I hope justice is served in both matters . Condolences to the families
Its ok to chase an unarmed man down the street with 8 inch double daggers? This is self defense? Really?
They get trained by Israel!
YES lol just like the bullshit excuse they gave about ahmaud arbury the only one i think was unjustified along with GF thats it though
Thank you for continuing to elevate the families and the changes we must enact to protect our families.
What changes? He should have allowed Sharpe to stab the victim?
Why was your nephew holding a knife about to attack someone?
Amadou Diallo had a wallet in his back pocket. A wallet he was reaching for when NYPD police asked him for identification because he was entering his own home after working the night shift. Police shot 41 rounds. Out of the 41 rounds, 19 bullets hit him. Mr. Diallo, you are not forgotten. 2/4/1999.
Did you not watch the fucking video? She literally explained that he was defending himself.
He was chasing the guy...
Videos, there were multiple videos, and they all show the same thing. He lunged at another man with a knife. Stop reading from someone's script and explain, the level of force that Mr Sharpe was defending himself from. What weapon was being used against him? Why isn't it seen on the videos? Saying someone was threatened is one thing, what was he threatened with? Details details details. If you are gonna make a claim, show the details that make the claim a valid claim.
They like to look over that part
Another "unhoused" black man. I wonder if this would have happened if his family gave him a place to live rather than act they care about him now when his suffering becomes a news story.
When I moved to my city I remember seeing hundreds of homeless brothers that weren't mentally ill or drug addicts, told me they had family but were on the streets.
You know bad stuff happens to people when they're living in the streets SMH.
you are right brother, but his family's actions have no relationship with the circumstances of his death. they are two different facts. the issue here is racism against poor and black people and police brutality.
I wonder if it would have happened if the police obeyed the law. No need to wonder.
I agree, when I had a relative who none of my other family couldn't take care of, I worked in my spare moments to get her to a care facility. She was never homeless, but with a lot of effort I got her into a facility. She is well cared for and her medical and mental needs are being seen to. It takes hard work by concerned families to get it done
@@Curt-GevertGod will bless you for that.
He left home to live out doors because he didn't. Want to be a burden on his family. White folks always say stupid crap
What would you suggest the police have done in this situation?
The guy had a 2 knifes and charged police and refused to comply to verbal commands what do you expect?
27 bullets?
What you fail to realize is that whyte people do a lot worse to the police and are reasoned with. When you can eradicate the racist energy that metastasized through your bloodstream, perhaps you can then see it objectively.
He did not charge at the police, he was lunging at another black man.
😂 PEPPER SPRAY OR TASER???$$$

What about the 3 people killed at a block party in Philly? 3 dead and 7 injured. Why don't you report on those type of stories. What about the 109 people shot in Chicago during 4th of July weekend?
😂 YOU CAN'T BRING UP THE WHITE PEOPLE WHO UNALIVE OTHER WHITE PEOPLE THIS WEEK YOU'RE AN RACIST BUDDY???$$$
What about the more than one hundred YTS overdosing and checking out every day?
Because they are black killing their own..those lives don't matter...
Reporting this troll account
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx🤣🤣 You can't handle the truth
Ok, so the family is now upset. Were they upset when he was alive and living on the streets? Where were they? There are any number of care facilities that could have seen to his needs, but instead they just leave him on the streets than cry when the street kills him. I've been faced with a relative that had to be placed in a facility, it's hard, but I take comfort in the fact that the relative is well cared for. I didn't abandon her and leave her on the street, I took spare time to see that her needs were met. I've seen it before where the families only pop up after it's too late.
Do you know the family? Here in Milwaukee the place for mentally ill has been closed down. Taking care of mentally ill people can be tough and expensive. Think about that before you open your mouth to condemn them.
There are always alternatives, there are state resources available, not just city resources.
Shouldn't Biden resign the presidency, and make Harris president immediately?
If he was too dangerous for the family to shelter, then he wasn't too dangerous for them to try and profit off of. Lowest of the low. FOH
That's really low to say shit like that I know this family shut up on what you don't know
9:33 did she just say that no one fights back? First off turning your back to someone with a blade is foolish
Love the channel 🎉
These people are getting so desperate for the ghetto lottery ticket😂😂😂 but the body cam footage basically destroys the whole case😂😂

The lynchings changed form
Yes they are done via Democrat failed policy.
I live in Texas and LYNCHINGS STILL OCCUR HERE!
Really? Officers using deadly force because a suspect is an imminent threat to life or great bodily harm is a lynching to you? When can an officer use deadly force? I'll give you a hint it's in this comment. 😂

My condolences on the loss of both men. Our communities deserve the truth and justice for these families.

Thank you Amy Goodman for all you do in exposing and giving attention to issues that the mass media ignores! You are appreciated for all efforts. I will find a way to make monthly contribution, albeit a small one.
She is literally a liar. Sharpe had a knife in each hand and was attempting to kill someone by stabbing them.

Can you tell us what the victim did to produce this police response. Maybe have a police sergeant in the panel to discuss as well.
the real question is why 9/10 victims of these ''controversial incidents'' are black are relating to some minority. oh, i forgot. they are inherently vile...
❤🙏😇
I get that you love your family no matter what, but this is just embarrassing. At some point personal accountability comes into play. And you DO like playing the race card. If the police had failed to act, the allegation wouldve been that they didnt care enough about black life to save the other man from being stabbed. White people are killed every single day by the police, and no one cares…because no one SHOULD care about a criminal killed while victimizing other people. Screaming into megaphones and marching and rioting every time a black man is killed during commission of a violent crime is crying “wolf”. It is not going to have the intended effect. The public can see the bodycams. I hope the family has time to reflect and find closure.
It's amazing how this guy was homeless and nobody was helping him, but all these relatives can show up to protest and claim racism, but could not lift a finger to help him when he was alive. Ask yourself that very serious question. Not fooling me.
You've just made me cry. Something similar happened to one of my Caribbean uncle's, Alphonso. He was homeless, for years, in Virginia, until he died (some years ago) from the cold weather, which also caused an infection in one of his body parts (left arm if I'm not mistaken). The majority of my Caribbean, so-called, christian/political, family allowed him to be/stay homeless (for years), talked bad about him. Then had the 🤬 audacity to go to his funeral and cry!!! I, too, used to be homeless.....ugh!!! Only three people called me, ironically, and they still didn't respect him nor me, and I was too upset to remember to call them TF out!!!! I couldn't go to his funeral because of financial reasons, and no one even cared!! They had the audacity to go to his funeral and cry. Esther, one of "my" Caribbean, "christian/political", "aunt's" was one of the main one's who persuaded certain/most people not to support him. She, too, also assumed/talked about me. They're, all, lucky I wasn't able to go and somewhat didn't want to go. I would have cussed them TF out at his funeral!
Some of these people became too much of a burden on these families. When a grown person can refuse help or sign themselves out of a facility that could help them. Try restraining a grown man that is fighting you and you have to work the next morning.
@@hagnuj1070 - So! Why did the majority of "my" Caribbean so-called, christian/political, allowed one of my Caribbean uncle's (Alphonso) to be/stay homeless, and allowed him to DIE from the cold weather in (West) Virginia, some years ago?!!!! Heck! I was told, by one of my pathetic, Caribbean, female, "christian/political", cousins that he helped so many people, which included a small organization that he had/has! She, too, knew that he was homeless and have the audacity/hypocrisy to take over his organization!!!!!
@@hagnuj1070 - This is what one of "my" Caribbean so-called, christian/political, aunt's said about my deceased, Caribbean, uncle (Alphonso) when he was homeless (years ago). "In the bible, it states, 'man can't eat by bread alone!' So. If/since Alphonso wants to be/stay homeless, let him!" The irony and hypocrisy are, she had no contact with him to even assume/say something stupid and insensitive!!!!!! That's "christianity/politics" for you!!!! Smdfh!!!
@@hagnuj1070 - Even when I used to be homeless, years ago, from '20 to '22, the majority of "my" Caribbean so-called, christian/political, family didn't actually/really care! One of my Caribbean "uncle's", who was/is a probation officer, came to a shelter (which no longer exists) looking for someone! He saw me, said "hi", asked me "do you stay here?" and kept on moving! I was, obviously, embarrassed that I was homeless, as well as embarrassed that I bumped into one of "my" Caribbean, so-called, family. The irony is, he didn't offer a few dollars, and I didn't ask! I'm, obviously, not perfect! However! There was no need for the majority of "my" Caribbean, "christian/political", "family" to treat me as less than, which they are still brainwashed to do, and why I stay the 🤬 away from them, as well!!!!
My heart is heavy. My deepest condolences for your loss. Disarm the police.
If your mind wasn't empty, your heart wouldn't be heavy.
Police brutality is still out of control!
In what way? In security guards trying to detain a man who entered a hotel he wasn't staying at, using the women's bathroom, fighting with security guards and the security guards detaining him until law enforcement arrived who rendered aid? Or in the lawful use of deadly force where a suspect was an imminent threat to the life or to cause great bodily injury to another black man? Ignorance is still out of control.
@@orionsimerl6539explain why?
@@RealSergiob466 I just explained why. Because you have a comment about police brutality being out of control for a death in the case of the hotel where police did not cause his death, but rendered aid upon arrival. The second case being a textbook example of an imminent threat to life or great bodily harm which is the standard for the use of deadly force. As to why ignorance is out of control we have these examples here, where the more general explanation is value protective denial which is the propensity to avoid, ignore, and reject information that challenges beliefs, coupled with the human propensity to consume information that reinforces beliefs. Not a phenomenon reserved for the left, but also the right and the politically indifferent.
@@orionsimerl6539 OK I’m just curious
No they are taking out people who are a real threat to others and this country.

Definitely. They can't respond so what else can they do? Deadly force is lawful when a suspect is an imminent threat to life or great bodily harm, such as when a suspect is charging towards an individual with 2 knives in hand. The man at the hotel was not staying at the hotel, went into the womens bathroom, then fought with security guards who detained him until police arrived. Police found the man unresponsive and rendered aid, but somehow, there's a problem with police for the actions of private security guards. They don't care. They just want someone to tell them lies to reinforce their false beliefs.
Lets be real here, all he had to do was say this dude is assaulting me, not take matters in your own hands
You Tube erasing my comment doesn't make it untrue because the victim called the police for help and received no help.
1:02 Based Banner
Based on what stupidity? So the same legally oblivious idiots marching over the lawful use of force can call a lawful use of deadly force unlawful? Imminent threat to life or great bodily harm is the standard for the use of deadly force, like a suspect charging at another person with knives in hand. In the other situation, how does a police accountability council change the behavior of private security? I look at this coverage and these comments and it's incomprehensible that people would be this stupid.

Because he was
He was the same guy who held a knife to a pregnant womans stomach during a robbery that he committed in an attempt to force her to tell him if they had money in the house.
because the decisions and rhetoric of authority is always the only ''truth''. you either accept it or you don't. ''convicted felon'', ''terrorists'' has the same meaning...
@@VanceLeeMusic and did his felony deserves a self-imposed death penalty by strangling?

To a large extent, the publishing industry, mainstream media, multicultural forums, prominent museums, international sports foundations, the entertainment and music industry, Hollywood etc have also adopted multiculturalism, much like identity politics, in order to appear as industries of equal opportunity and equitable merit. This is true about Left and Right leaning media. Is why we see and hear “woke” intellectuals, writers and activists on Democracy Now willfully cutting out subversive elements, be they outspoken academics, writers, political analysts, anarchists, artists, anti-imperialists, anti-technologists, anti-greenwash activists etc. Liberal democratic media is an extension of the propaganda industry, regardless of the academics, experts, writers and outliers.
