    It’s Bigger than the Police: White-Supremacist Capitalism and State-Sanctioned Violence Against Black People By Melina Abdullah On October 29, 2018, Albert Ramon Dorsey was murdered by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) while completely naked and exiting the shower inside a 24- Hour Fitness center in Hollywood. Employees called the police on him, first alleging that he was a “transient,” then asserting that there had been a verbal altercation, and finally claiming some incident from days prior justified their call. This is the second time in less than two years that employees at this second-largest gym chain have gotten Black members killed by police in Los Angeles. In March 2017, employees called the police on Dennis Todd Rogers, citing their “discomfort” with the 41-year-old father. LA Sheriff’s Dept. deputies shot him dead outside the gym on Slauson Blvd. in south LA. While these private employees did not pull the trigger in either case, no one can claim to be unaware of the potential for an interaction between Black people and police to result in Black death. @djsardine On 10/29 Albert “Ramon” Dorsey aka Mello (30) was shot and killed in a gym locker room by LAPD. To know him was to love him, best described as the “Gentle Giant” he would give his last and his all to help another person succeed. https://www. gofundme.com/albert-ramon-dorsey …#BlackLivesMatter 10:55 AM - Nov 8, 2018 Sheila Hines-Brim, aunt of Wakiesha Wilson, & Melina Abdullah outside DA Lacey’s office.
