Newly released police video is raising serious concerns about what appears to be a continued and troubling pattern of excessive force by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO). The footage adds to growing public scrutiny over officer conduct and the use of force in encounters with civilians. This incident is not happening in isolation—it reflects broader questions about accountability, training, and the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights. As the video circulates, community members and advocates are demanding transparency and answers. Nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Ben Crump, Harry Daniels, and Gerald Griggs are actively investigating the matter. Their involvement signals the seriousness of the allegations and a commitment to ensuring that justice is pursued. The public deserves clarity, accountability, and a system that protects—not harms—the communities it serves.

BREAKING: Benjy Taylor, head men’s basketball coach at Tuskegee University, has retained legal counsel after being detained following the game against Morehouse College. National civil rights attorney Harry Daniels, Gerald Griggs, and Gregory Williams have been hired to represent Coach Taylor as serious questions continue to emerge about the circumstances surrounding his detention. When a college coach — particularly at an HBCU — can be handcuffed after a basketball game without clear justification, the public deserves answers. Accountability, transparency, and respect for civil rights are not optional. This matter will be addressed through the proper legal channels. We will continue to closely monitor developments.

I don’t generally agree with Skip Bayless but I agree with him on how the Browns are handling the development and use of Shedeur Sanders. Just let the young man play… #ClevelandBrowns #shedeursanders #nfl

Interestingly enough…No one is talking about this… Russian targeted bomb threats at numerous Black Polling Precincts during the Election. We at the NAACP received the information and hopefully authorities are seriously investigating this… #VoterSuppression is real. #gapol

Student Tased by Law Enforcement at Langston Hughes High School Speaks Out Today’s press conference addressed a deeply disturbing incident involving a student who was tased by law enforcement on the campus of Langston Hughes High School. Surrounded by his family and attorneys, Harry Daniels and Gerald Griggs, the student courageously spoke out as we demanded transparency, accountability, and justice following the use of force against a minor in a school setting. We stand firmly with this student and his family. Schools must be places of learning—not trauma. This incident raises serious questions about how young people are treated and the standards governing law enforcement interactions with students. #LangstonHughesHighSchool #FultonCountyGA #FultonCountySchools

One thing I appreciate about Black people, and especially the NAACP, is that we will not be moved. When a man carrying a Confederate flag showed up to disrupt the Juneteenth celebration in Cobb County, the response was simple and effective: he must have needed some exercise. We refused to be distracted, intimidated, or deterred from celebrating freedom, history, and community. That’s who we are. The Cookout continues. #NAACP #CobbCounty #Georgia #Juneteeth

Nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump, Harry Daniels, and Gerald Griggs are investigating a troubling pattern of excessive force by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, following the release of video showing a violent arrest in Clay County. The case centers on 24-year-old #DashaunWilliams, who was arrested in November at a gas station in Middleburg. Video from the scene appears to show officers repeatedly beating and kicking Williams during the encounter. “The public deserves answers,” the attorneys said. “There appears to be a pattern of excessive force against Black people in Jacksonville, Florida—and Dashaun deserves accountability for the injuries he suffered.” This investigation goes beyond a single incident—it raises serious questions about systemic conduct and whether accountability will finally follow. #JSO #News #Jacksonville

Let’s be clear, the United States Constitution does not allow for the deportation of United States citizens based solely on the conviction of a crime.

Independent journalists including Georgia Fort and former CNN host Don Lemon were arrested in connection with a protest held at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota that disrupted a worship service. Federal authorities say the protest opposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in the area. Georgia has been on the frontlines of independent journalism since George Floyd protests.

Juneteenth has deep roots in Limestone County, Texas. In the years after 1865, formerly enslaved people began gathering at Comanche Crossing near Mexia to celebrate freedom—what became one of the earliest and largest Juneteenth celebrations in the country. The community later bought the land and renamed it Booker T. Washington Park, where celebrations have continued for over 150 years. It’s also where the term “Juneteenth” was first used. From jubilation to justice—including the tragedy of the Comanche Three in 1981—Limestone County’s Juneteenth is a powerful symbol of resilience, memory, and Black freedom in motion. ✊🏾 #Juneteenth #LimestoneCounty #BlackHistory #TexasRoots #BookerTWashingtonPark
