Today is a historic day in Kansas City, Missouri as it is the first day a white officer is being brought to trial for the murder of a black man, despite it being commonplace here.

The prosecution laid out the case today that the KCPD actively worked to falsify evidence at the crime scene of Cameron Lamb's murder by Eric DeValkenaere. DeValkenaere was the only person who alleges to have seen a gun. This murderous cop is attempting to claim that Cameron pointed the firearm with his previously injured left hand that was unusable! There was no ammunition on the scene where Cameron was found and yet when his body was inspected at the coroner's office there was ammunition in his pocket.

As if that is not bad enough the crimes continued up the chain of command at the KCPD when they refused to provide a probable cause statement to the prosecutors office. While these statements are a requirement the KCPD made the choice to spit in the face of the law and outright refuse to explain their actions. It could be argued that a refusal to provide a probable cause statement could also be a maneuver by the superiors to avoid having to lie on behalf of the officer they knew was in the wrong all along.

The killer cop waived his right to a jury trial knowing full well that the corrupt judge presiding over the district would personally take on the case for a bench trial, and that is exactly how it has played out. There is no option going forward in such a blatant case but for the judge to convict him of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action. Anything less is a continued assault on the family and the citizens of this community.

If you were in the streets or posting about justice for Black Lives in 2020, you should be posting just as much now. Please share and spread the word about this trial and the need for justice in our community.

At the time that Eric DeValkenaere shot Cameron Lamb, prosecutors said, he was not armed and the gun that police said he had with him was actually inside of a staircase near the garage.

If the media took the time to report on half of the police violence, racism and corruption in this city instead of repeating the stories the KCPD tells verbatim maybe we'd have some damn change in this city.

For those who need a reminder: Police cannot kill you if you “presented a firearm”. Even if you are suspected of homicide, our country is supposed to grant everyone the right of due process and to be found guilty or not guilty in court. No police officer has the authority to execute people.



Missouri state highway patrol investigated the shooting and said the KCPD “exchanged” gunfire but in the written record they say the victim “presented a firearm”. Which is it? They’re not the same thing.

As citizens we are paying millions for those body cameras and we should expect the police to release that footage to show the truth. After decades of them being dishonest we’re not settling for anything less.

One year ago today Donnie Sanders was murdered during a traffic stop by Blayne William Newton of the KCPD. Despite that fact this killer still patrols our streets and makes a living off of our tax dollars. We all have Rick Smith to thank for the lack of accountability in the force.

We will not stop seeking justice and part of that means the firing of Rick Smith.
