Genesis Hicks was a young black man who lived in north texas. While unarmed and running away from the cops, they tased him and let him fall and caused him to die by not caring for his body after being tased. When you cause someone to fall down, you have to be careful that they do not fall and harm their body in the fall. Not taking care of him so that he wouldn’t hit his head is a horrible idea and lead to him being in a coma for 2 weeks and then dying.
I don’t know much about Genesis Hicks’s life before his death, but I do know he was young and scared. He was running away for using a fake ID to purchase a car. There was no reason for the police to think he was violent and they knew he was unarmed before causing him to die.
The Frisco police should apologize, charge those involved with his death, and work with local groups to find better ways of running their department for future cases. This should never happen again.
I know those of you seeing this probably care a lot for black people and for those in our country who are being hurt by the police. If you feel inclined, please share Genesis’s story and urge others to care about his life and the inhumane death he suffered.
If you want to express sympathy or buy flowers in Genesis’s memory this is the place for that:
