The deputies are still patrolling the streets of Jefferson Parish today. The family of Eric Harris and their supporters demand the killer cops be fired, arrested, indicted and convicted. The partner of Eric Harris, Tyshara Blouin, was in the car that night and, against the odds, survived the barrage of bullets.
Blouin publicly contradicted the account of the shooting given by the deputies. She was subsequently arrested and charged as accessory to Harris’s supposed “assault” on the cops. Family and supporters see this outrageous charge as an act of retaliation.
Keep up with this story, support the family of Harris and support Blouin, whose court case is scheduled in the coming weeks. Follow and spread #JusticeForEricHarrisNOLA on social media.
Police murder is at epidemic levels in “the land of the free.” One indication: “NOLA” (New Orleans, Louisiana) had to be added to the hashtag because another Black youth named Eric Harris had already been killed by cops in Oklahoma.
