[7. Petitions from Citizens]
CITIZENS, PETITIONS FROM CITIZENS.ANYBODY, ANYBODY THAT, UH, SPEAKS.
JUST IT'S A TWO MINUTE TIMEFRAME AND IF I, IF YOU HEAR ME GO LIKE THIS, I'M APOLOGIZING NOW IF I UPSET YOU, BUT TWO MINUTES YOU HAVE AND THEN UH, WE'LL MOVE ON.
AND NA, I'LL NEED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ALSO.
MY NAME IS HELEN HENDERSON AND I LIVE AT TWO 11 WEST BERK STREET.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE BERKELEY COUNTY BRANCH OF THE NAACP AND I WAS HERE A YEAR AGO MAKING A SIMILAR STATEMENT ON MARCH 13TH, 2013.
EXACTLY 12 YEARS AGO TODAY A MAN NAMED WAYNE ARNOLD JONES WAS KILLED NEAR THE TOWN SQUARE BY FIVE POLICEMEN.
ERIC NEELY, DANIEL NORTH PAUL LAYMAN, WILLIAM STAUB AND ERIC HERB.
HIS ARM WAS BROKEN AND HE WAS SHOT 23 TIMES, EIGHT OF THEM IN HIS BACK.
HIS CRIME JAYWALKING BEING MENTALLY ILL AND BEING BLACK.
YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF JONES'S MURDER HEAVILY DOCTORED BY THE AUTHORITIES ON THE JUSTICE FOR WAYNE JONES FACEBOOK PAGE AND CAN HEAR THE FIVE POLICEMEN CALLOUSLY DISCUSSING CHEWING TOBACCO OVER JONES'S DEAD BODY ONLY.
OFFICER HERB HAS LEFT THE FORCE TO AVOID GOING TO TRIAL.
THE CITY PAID THE JONES FAMILY $3.5 MILLION.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID IN A STATEMENT THAT THE SETTLEMENT WAS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT.
THE RULING FROM THE FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS READ.
ALTHOUGH WE RECOGNIZE THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE OFTEN ASKED TO MAKE SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS, WE EXPECT THEM TO DO SO WITH RESPECT FOR THE DIGNITY AND WORTH OF BLACK LIVES.
THIS HAS TO STOP ON THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH FROM 12 TO ONE.
A VIGIL IS HELD FOR WAYNE JONES AND FOR OTHER VICTIMS OF THE POLICE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
IT HAS BEEN HELD FOR THE PAST NINE YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE HELD UNTIL THERE IS JUSTICE.
THANK YOU PETITIONS FROM CITIZENS AGAIN.
UH, I NEED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
ALRIGHT, I'M, UH, PATRICK MAYNER.
I LIVE AT TWO 19 PORTER AVENUE MARTINSBURG.
AND MY THING IS, UH, WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO ABOUT PARKING FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THAT BUILDING, UH, WE ARE LOSING OUR PARKING SPACES.
WE HAVE NO OFF OFF STREET PARKING, SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN OVER THERE ABOUT THE PARKING THING.
IF YOU WANNA LINE UP, THAT'D BE A LOT EASIER FOR EVERYBODY.
[00:05:02]
GOOD EVENING.I AM FACED ON BY LIVE AT 7 58 TO BOGAN HILL TRAIL IN HEDGES, BUT I'M HERE TONIGHT AS THE EDUCATION CHAIRPERSON FOR THE MARTINSBURG BERKELEY COUNTY NAACP.
A YEAR AGO, MR. MAYOR, YOU AND APPROXIMATELY 500 OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE EASTERN PANHANDLE JOINED US AT THE APOLLO THEATER TO CELEBRATE THE PRODUCTION OF A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE SUMNER RAYMER SCHOOL.
THE VIDEO WAS OUR EFFORT OF PRESERVING FACTS AND MEMORIES OF SEGREGATION AND INTEGRATION OF OUR SCHOOLS, A DIFFICULT TIME IN OUR NATIONAL AND LOCAL HISTORY.
WE THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THAT PROJECT.
ON THIS DAY IN 2013, THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCED A TRAGIC EVENT THAT'S ALSO A PART OF OUR LOCAL HISTORY.
AFTER THE FAMILY OF WAYNE JONES WAS AWARDED FINAL COMP, FINANCIAL COMPENSATION, THE CITY ISSUED THIS STATEMENT WITH THIS CITY.
WITH THIS SETTLEMENT, THE CITY AND THE MPD HOPE EVERYONE INVOLVED WILL BE ABLE TO PUT THIS INCIDENT BEHIND THEM AND ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO HEAL.
THAT HEALING HAS NOT OCCURRED FOR 12 YEARS, CITIZENS HAVE HELD A MONTHLY VIGIL TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT OFFICIALS OF THIS CITY HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THE POLICE BRUTALITY THAT TOOK PLACE HELP THE HEALING TO MOVE FORWARD.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE INJUSTICE OF 22 SHOTS BEING FIRED INTO A HOMELESS UNARMED AFRICAN-AMERICAN WITH A PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS.
THOUGH YOU DIDN'T FIRE THOSE SHOTS, ISSUING A STATEMENT OF REGRET.
IN SUMMARIZING WHAT STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PREVENT SUCH TRAGEDIES IN THE FUTURE WOULD BE A POSITIVE STEP THAT YOU COULD TAKE IN AN EFFORT TO HEAL THE PAIN THAT MANY STILL FEEL.
MY NAME IS ANN EDEN AND I LIVE AT 1 2 9 EAST LIBERTY STREET IN MARTINSBURG.
I 2:00 AM A MEMBER OF THE BERKELEY COUNTY MARTINSBURG NAACP CHAPTER.
THE FIVE OFFICERS THAT SHOT WAYNE JONES WERE NOT INDICTED BY A GRAND JURY, BUT WHEN IS THE CITY OF MARTINSBURG GOING TO FORMALLY APOLOGIZE TO WAYNE JONES'S FAMILY AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY OF MARTINSBURG? WE APPLAUD OUR CURRENT POLICE CHIEF'S HIRING OF NEW OFFICERS.
HOWEVER, WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WITH SOME OF THE OFFICERS STILL IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE WAYNE JONES MURDER, WERE CONCERNED A SIMILAR INCIDENT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE TO THE MAYOR COUNCIL AND POLICE CHIEF AND WE HOPE THAT YOU CAN PLEASE UNDERSTAND OUR POSITION.
UH, I LIVE AT 1 0 6 JERRY COURT IN MARTINSBURG IN BRIARWOOD SUBDIVISION.
WHEN I WAS PRACTICING, I PRACTICED AT SHENANDOAH COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER ON TAVERN ROAD.
FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS, MORE OR LESS EVERY MONTH I'VE COME TO THE VIGIL AS WE CALL IT, UH, WHERE KING AND QUEEN STREETS CROSS AND HAVE THOUGHT MANY TIMES THAT THE OPPORTUNITY THAT ARISES AT THIS POINT, 12 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF WAYNE JONES, FOR THE CITY TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE AND TO MAKE THEIR APOLOGIES, IS CERTAINLY, UM, A WONDERFUL POSSIBILITY.
WHEN, UM, I HAVE ATTENDED THE VIGIL, WE OCCASIONALLY WILL GET A RAISED FINGER AND, UM, SOME SCOWLING OR A YELLED EPITHET.
BUT MOST OF THE TIME, PARTICULARLY RECENTLY, WE GET POSITIVE THUMBS UP AND MANY, MANY HONKS, DOZENS OR HUNDREDS OF HONKS DURING THE HOUR THAT WERE PRESENT AT KING AND QUEEN STREET AT NOON ON THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
I THINK THAT, UM, THIS CHANGE WHICH HAS OCCURRED FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE VISUAL NINE YEARS AGO OR 10 YEARS AGO TO THE PRESENT TIME REFLECTS UNFORTUNATELY THE FACT THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND INCLUDING THE MARTINSBURG PUBLIC IS UH, MORE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF POLICE BRUTALITY DIRECTED TOWARDS YOUNG BLACK MEN AND WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND THEREFORE THEY'RE MORE SYMPATHETIC WITH THE NOTION THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
[00:10:01]
WHAT CAN BE DONE IS FOR THE CITY OF MARTINSBURG TO APOLOGIZE NOT ONLY TO THE JONES FAMILY, AND NOT ONLY TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY, BUT TO EVERY CITIZEN OF MARTINSBURG BY SO DOING.I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT JUST LIKE THE MANY HONKS THAT WE RECEIVE, UM, PEOPLE ARE GRATIFIED.
UH, WILLIAM Z MCGILL, 1 0 6 NORTH TENNESSEE AVENUE.
UH, GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO APOLOGIZE? BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT RACISM IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY IN THE PAST, BUT IN THE PRESENT.
WE SEE THE DEATH OF WAYNE JONES AS AN INCIDENT OF RACISM.
IF MR. JONES HAD NOT BEEN BLACK, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FEARED, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TACKLED AND TASED AND HE WOULD CERTAINLY NOT HAVE BEEN SHOCKED.
WAYNE JONES'S DEATH WAS IN THE WORDS OF THE FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS YET ANOTHER DEATH OF A BLACK MAN AT THE HANDS OF POLICE.
FORTUNATELY, THIS COMMUNITY HAS NOT EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR FATALITY SINCE THEN, BUT RACISM IS DEFINITELY NOT A THING OF THE PAST IN MARTINSBURG, AS EVIDENCED BY CALLS TO THE NAACP LEGAL REDRESS HELPLINE DAILY, I BELIEVE, AS MOST OF YOU NO DOUBT DO, THAT THE HUGE MAJORITY OF OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS ARE WELL-MEANING AND NOT OVERTLY RACIST.
WE KNOW THAT NON-DISCRIMINATION IS STATED POLICY AND THE CITY WORKS TO EFFECTUATE THAT POLICY.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE STILL EMPLOYEES ON THE PUBLIC PAYROLL WHO USED THE N WORD, THE CLEAREST POSSIBLE SIGN OF INTENTIONAL RACIAL ANIMUS.
THE CITIZENS OF MARTINSBURG DESERVE A GOVERNMENT UNTAINTED BY RACISM, EITHER BY TOLERANCE OR BY THE USE OF RACIAL SLURS, BY INDIFFERENCE TO THE NEED FOR RECONCILIATION AFTER THE TRAGEDY AND MURDER OF WAYNE JONES.
I LIVE AT 1 0 6 JERRY COURT MARTINSBURG IN ITS 2020 OPINION PRECEDING THE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT BETWEEN MARTINSBURG AND THE WAYNE JONES ESTATE.
THE FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED, QUOTE, IN 2013, WAYNE JONES, A BLACK MAN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WAS STOPPED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT IN MARTINSBURG FOR WALKING ALONGSIDE RATHER THAN ON THE SIDEWALK.
BY THE END OF THIS ENCOUNTER, JONES WOULD BE DEAD.
IN HIS FINAL MOMENTS, HE LAY ON THE GROUND BETWEEN A STONE WALL AND A WALL OF FIVE POLICE OFFICERS WHO COLLECTIVELY FIRED 22 BULLETS.
JONES WAS WALKING IN THE ROAD NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK AWAY FROM THE DARK SHADOWS AND BLIND CORNERS OF BUILDINGS AT NIGHT.
WHAT WE SEE IS A SCARED MAN WHO IS CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT HE DID WRONG AND AN OFFICER THAT DOES NOTHING TO ALLEVIATE THAT MAN'S FEARS.
UM, I THINK AT LEAST ONE OF THE FIVE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTING IS STILL ON.
THE FORCE HAS RECEIVED AWARDS FOR HIS PERFORMANCE IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
SO IT SEEMS HE MUST BE A DECENT OFFICER AND HE AND HIS SUPERIORS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE PAST A SERIOUS MISJUDGMENT FROM YEARS EARLIER.
SO WHY YOU MAY ASK, WHY CAN'T SOME OF US COMMUNITY MEMBERS MOVE PAST THIS TRAGEDY? HERE'S WHY.
BECAUSE LIVING WHILE BLACK IN OUR COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO CARRY ONGOING RISK TO MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH.
WHEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ONCE PUT YOU IN FEAR, HOW DO YOU MOVE PAST THAT FEAR? ONE OF OUR NAACP MEMBERS, A BLACK MAN WHO WAS A GOLD STAR VETERAN, WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY ONE NIGHT AND WAS PULLED OVER BY MARTINSBURG POLICE FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON.
HE WAS CAREFUL TO HAVE PROVIDE HIS GOLD STAR AND VETERAN IDENTIFICATION TO THE OFFICER WHO DID NOT TICKET HIM.
BUT WHEN RETURNING HIS CARDS USED THE N WORD IN ANSWERING THE QUERY, WHY DID YOU STOP ME? WHY DID YOU STOP ME? BECAUSE I CAN.
AND HOW EXACTLY IS THIS UPSTANDING MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY SUPPOSED TO MOVE PAST THE FEAR OF POLICE THAT SUCH RACIST CONDUCT IS INTENDED TO FOSTER? IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO.
IS THE DEPARTMENT DIFFERENT NOW? I THINK IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED WITH CHIEF GIBBONS AND BELIEVE IN HIS LEADERSHIP, BUT BY MY BLACK, BUT MY BLACK FRIEND HAS LITTLE REASON TO THINK SO SINCE THE CITY, DESPITE HAVING SETTLED THE LITIGATION WITH AN ENORMOUS SUM OF MONEY, REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TIME IS UP OF JONES WAYNE'S JONES.
[00:15:05]
NAME, ADDRESS, PLEASE.I LIVE AT ONE 10 NORTH TENNESSEE AVENUE IN MARTINSBURG.
I'M HERE TO STATE TWO FACTS, POSE A QUESTION AND THEN A PLEA FACT.
ONE IN 2016, MICHAEL BROWN WAS KILLED IN A SUBURB OF ST.
THAT SAME YEAR THE CHIEF OF POLICE APOLOGIZED FACT TWO AND I'M SKIPPING YEARS IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA AFTER THE MURDER OF A CITIZEN.

IT'S 20, 25, 12, 13 YEARS AFTER WAYNE JONES WAS MURDERED IN MARTINSBURG AND THE POLICE HAVE STILL NOT APOLOGIZED.
THE QUESTION IS WHY, WHY NOT HERE? WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT? WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT? MY PLEA IS CAN WE AT LEAST DO THAT? PLEASE? THANK YOU.
