http://countercurrentnews.com/2014/12/justice-for-corey-kanosh/#The tragic case of Corey Kanosh, 35, has received very little media attention, in spite of the growing outrage over police shootings of unarmed, innocent citizens. In Coreys case, we are not dealing with an African American man shot by white cops, but an unarmed Native American man who was suspected of crimes that he was later proven innocent of, who was given only seconds before police opened fire on him.
Corey was a member of the Paiute Tribe of Utah. In spite of the historical injustices committed by the State against Native Americans, his story has received virtually no national attention. Now, his friends and family have been pushing to move the legal process forward, but so far they have only raised a tiny amount of money.
The hold up on progressing has been due to lack of money to fund the oh so dreaded legal process, they explain. We need your help. Please help us on our way to get this case back up and ready. Its time to take on the unwilling non-cooperative Millard County Sheriffs Department.
Corey was shot by a Millard County sheriffs deputy after he was wrongly suspected of car theft.

more so.

obviously the way things are now, LEOs seem to think it is.

just as an fyi: Hillary isn't going to be any champion for this cause.. just so you know. Billy Boy refused to give clemency to Leonard Peltier when he had the opportunity before he left office.
Just a friendly word of warning.
