A new documentary by a Bay Area filmmaker examines several deadly police shootings including one in Vallejo.
It's been almost three years since Willie McCoy was shot and killed by Vallejo Police.
"They open fire and execute him," said McCoy as he pointed to an enlarged photo of a police officer aiming a gun at his younger brother Willie while the 20-year-old was asleep in his car at a fast-food restaurant drive through. "Our family is still somewhat stunned about the lack of outrage," said McCoy.
"I learned a lot about the complexity of law enforcement, about the relationship between police, the prosecutor's office and people of color," said Grant, "It's not just about racism. It's cultural. The more people we get to talk about the issue, even if it's uncomfortable to talk about, the more we can come up with solutions."
"It hurts to the soul to know he's just not here to have that opportunity to live out his life," McCoy said. He said the film gives his brother and others killed by police a voice.
