The rally, organized by the Alaska Black Caucus, comes as the Anchorage Police Department continues to sort out its body-worn camera policy.
Advocates for police accountability are holding a rally this Friday to mark the third anniversary of the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old Black man by Anchorage Police.
It sparked widespread conversation and concern. It also shed new light on what actually happened, said Celeste Hodge-Growden, president of the Alaska Black Caucus. “I’m not sure how long that standoff was, but they de-escalated to no end,” Hodge-Growden said. “And that brought about a positive ending, that that person is still alive.”
