Willie McCoy had a hard childhood, but his dreams of making music professionally kept him alive until he was shot 55 times by Vallejo police in February after he was found unconscious his car. His death and the subsequent release of body-cam video of the police shooting has sparked protests at Vallejo City Hall, a new round of outrage different from the protests over police killings in 2012. Activists, the media and ordinary Vallejo residents are paying attention this time. With their help, David Harrison, 20-year old McCoy's older cousin, has mounted a police accountability campaign to get answers, information, and change. But he is learning that when you pressure the Vallejo Police Department and City Hall, silence and alternative narratives is what you get.
