The rally, organized by the Alaska Black Caucus, comes as the Anchorage Police Department continues to sort out its body-worn camera policy after voters approved the purchase of the cameras last year.
Advocates for police accountability are holding a rally this Friday to mark the third anniversary of the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old Black man by Anchorage Police.
“When Mr. Hassan lay, dying, there was no aid rendered to him for over two minutes,” Hodge-Growden said. “Now that is very concerning, after he was hit, I believe, six times and shot at over 20 times.”The Alaska Black Caucus organized the upcoming rally with support from Hassan’s family. Hodge-Growden said one of the reasons for the rally is concern over how the Anchorage police are trained to de-escalate dangerous situations.
Anchorage police officials also declined to comment on the difference in de-escalation tactics between the two cases, beyond stating that the situations were different and “each has its own dynamics which directly affect the tactics used as well as the outcome.” Anchorage police officials say the police union is currently reviewing the draft policy. Under the policy, members of the public or affected parties could get footage through a public records request that — according to police officials — would “be processed in accordance with Municipal and State records release and privacy restrictions.”
