"Justice for Larry Jackson" NOT! When will Black lives really matter?

Larry Jackson an African American male made the mistake of going to an Austin bank that had been robbed by a heavy white male. He met APD detective Charles Kleinert. Mr. Jackson walked away from the bank. Kleinert decided to track him down, even commandeering a private vehicle. Mr. Jackson ended up dead from a gun shot wound to the back of the neck.

The national conversation about police violence that has followed in the wake of the protests in Ferguson, MO has important ramifications here in Austin, TX. As many of you know, in July of 2013, Larry Jackson, Jr. an unarmed African-American man, was shot and killed by Detective Charles Kleinert of the Austin Police Department. Because of the work of activists across the city, we were able to pressure the District Attorney’s office and ensure that Kleinert, unlike so many police officers across the country, was actually indicted.

That indictment is now in jeopardy. Kleinert’s lawyers are attempting to argue that his case should go to federal court rather than county court because at the time of the shooting Kleinert claims to have been working for federal law enforcement. If he succeeds in that claim, it is very likely that he will receive federal immunity and will not face any punishment for killing Larry Jackson, Jr. This is essentially an attempt to dial back the work that has happened here in Austin and reproduce the national pattern of getting police officers off on legal technicalities.

Judge moves Charles Kleinert case to federal court byTony Plohetski and Jazmine Ulloa
5:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, 2015 | Filed in: Local
A U.S. district judge has ruled that the manslaughter case against former Austin police Detective Charles Kleinert will be transferred to federal court, potentially weakening the strength of the prosecution’s case against the former officer.

The move could allow Kleinert to receive greater immunity under federal law after his attorneys successfully argued that Kleinert was serving as a federal officer the day he fatally shot Larry Jackson in July 2013.

Should the case go to trial, legal experts have said that the jury pool also would come from counties across Central Texas that are often more conservative.
