Role of race in diagnosing latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA)
[edit]Hi, I was looking for the appropriate WikiProject to put this, & this seems the best. If someone who edits with both WP:BLM & WikiProject Medicine would have a look at Talk:Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults#Role of race in diagnosing LADA, I would appreciate it.

Search for details of Leroy Martin shooting by Pond Valley PD, USA
[edit]Help will be appreciated with finding the details of the fatal shooting of Leroy Martin by Pond Valley PD, USA. The exact date, age of Leroy Martin, and precise location of Pond Valley, are unknown. The shooting is reconstructed as a case study in Jon J. Nordby's textbook, Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction: Introducing Method to Mayhem (entire chapter 6).
To include Leroy in the List of unarmed African Americans... page, the date and location is needed.
Background
[edit]Leroy Martin was surrounded by eight officers, responding to a phone call about a "young black man walking suspiciously down the middle of the street talking to himself". After Martin ignored police instructions and kept walking, he was shot twice. An internal review of the incident declared the shooting justified. However, Nordby's reconstruction of the scene found that police claims of Martin threatening officers with a broken bottle were not corroborated by the forensic facts.
That Sunday morning, Martin was on his way home after staying over at a friend's place. At that hour, there was no traffic in the area. He was in school and an aspiring dancer, with no criminal record or prior incidents involving the police.
The final twist in this tragedy: Leroy Martin had been totally deaf since birth.
I think there should be more on Wikipedia about the dangers to POC living with disabilities when it comes to police encounters. Fookault (talk) 00:00, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes to Defund the police
[edit]Hi--
I follow Defund the police and wanted to alert folks more involved in this project to some recent big changes -- an IP just made an edit that reworded a LOT of the article and had a net reduction of almost 3,000 bytes. I can't tell if any of it is changing the content or just the structure and didn't have an immediate reason to revert, but as it's high importance to this project, thought I'd call attention. I'm relatively new to WP and don't trust myself to make a call.
