How they died

Deadly force

I am Sage's mother. I saw him shot in front of me behind a closed door. Police lied. I am currently suing Sgt. B.L. Danner in a civil suit in GA. Still not in court after 3 and 1/2 years of trying. Would like to submit findings to someone, can prove cover up and lies with cell records, witnesses, depositions and Danner's description of my son as 6 ft white short black hair, Sage was black, dreadlocks to waist, and 6'5. (From FE: Neighbors said they heard gunshots. DeKalb police and SWAT teams established a command post at the complex. The man reportedly came to the door with a long-barreled gun and wearing a bulletproof vest. Neighbors said he had a history of mental problems. The family disputes the police story and has sued.)
