In a 2021 photo provided by Bickerton Law Group representing the family of Lindani Myeni, he is standing on a beach in Waimanalo, Hawaii with his wife and two children. Some Black people in Hawaii say Myeni's shooting death by Honolulu police is a reminder that Hawaii isn't the racially harmonious paradise it's held up to be.
After police killed Lindani Myeni in April, his widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging officers were motivated by racial discrimination because her unarmed South African husband was Black. Police later released short clips of body camera footage, showing him ignoring commands to get on the ground outside the house he entered, a stun gun fired by police either malfunctioning or having no effect on him. The police video showed that an officer fired several gunshots before saying, “Police!”
A statement from the lawyers who released the video said Honolulu police"tried to convince the public that this was a burglary and that Lindani Myeni was acting erratically; but the doorbell video we have now obtained from the owner shows that HPD knew all along these stories were untrue.” The footage shows Myeni walking into the home, wearing a face mask and his umqhele, a traditional Zulu headband.According to the lawyers, the woman in the home pretended to make a phone call while Myeni was outside saying someone had broken into her home.Myeni is heard in the video outside the home saying repeatedly, “I'm sorry.” He puts his shoes on and leaves, the footage shows.
Shawndrarara US police are entitled to shoot people. Constitutional Amendment 29. This Amendment is not written down.
