Mother of Navy Vet Shot at 30 Times by Police Begs For Justice

This video was posted by the mother of India Kager, who was shot 30 times by the police. One more unheard story of a black woman executed by the police for nothing. Moreover, for a really long time Mass Media didn’t have any information about this case. 

In September  India Kager, a 27-year-old Navy veteran from College Park, Maryland, was sitting with her boyfriend and 4-month-old son, Roman.

Perry was a “person of interest” in a  homicide, according to the police. They additionally claim that they had “confidential information” that he “was going to” commit a “violent crime.” But that’s about all they’re willing to say at this time to justify the incident.

Kager had nothing to do with her boyfriends crimes – past or future.


However,  officers began firing rounds that killed both Perry and Kager, indiscriminately. The baby, however, managed to survive – no thanks to the police who sprayed bullets wildly a the car.

Police didn’t explain anything and no justice for her daughter happened, so she is begging for it.

God Help you.

I had not heard about this case so I went looking for more information/mainstream news sources. Washington Post article here. It’s every bit as bad as the OP describes and it happened in September.

Why are we not hearing about this? Is it just police brutality fatigue? Maybe India’s not a “perfect victim” because her boyfriend, from early accounts, sounds like a pretty bad/dangerous dude…but seriously SHE was not implicated in any crime and also they had a BABY in the car. This isn’t really any different from a case where Perry had taken hostages: the police should absolutely have tried to clear the innocent people from the car before they opened fire. It seems like they didn’t spare a thought for the innocents in the crossfire.

This really seems like it needs more attention.

do you ever spill half a cup of water on your bed and you really don’t want to get up so you take off your wet trousers and put them on the water-covered spot and sit on them and realize that you can’t get a towel because you’re not wearing trousers and the towels are upstairs and your family is upstairs and you’re too lazy to put on pants to get a towel to have a dry bed
