As of February 2025, policemapping.com reports that 107 people have been killed by police in the United States this year. This alarming statistic highlights the urgent need for systemic change in law enforcement practices.

In the fight for justice against police brutality and systemic oppression, it’s crucial to recognize that we are not just addressing isolated incidents, despite what the media may portray.

As Angela Davis states, “We must confront the reality that police violence is not a singular event but a systemic issue that needs to be addressed.”

While individuals may pursue their own paths, we are all facing the same entrenched institutions of power. These institutions, despite their internal disagreements, are skilled at uniting their forces to counter our collective efforts.

Our diverse approaches and perspectives should not be a barrier; rather, they can strengthen our cause. It’s crucial for us to recognize the need for solidarity among various movements and communities. By sharing our experiences and strategies, we can build a more cohesive front to challenge the systemic injustices that persist.

In this episode, Life After the Impact hears from Kimberlee Vaughn, the wife of Mohammad Isaifan, who was tragically killed by the police in 2019. Since Mohammad’s death, Kimberlee has been fighting not only for justice for his killing but also for accountability and a sense of closure.
As of now, the case is still open, in federal civil court in Cleveland under federal judge Ruiz. They have been waiting years 18 months to hear his decision on sending Mohammads case to trial or dismissing it completely.

Rockford Security Guards Face Murder Charges in Death of Man After Eight Years of Delayed Justice—Community Support Needed in Court on 2/21/2025 The fight for justice continues for the Fresco family, as they face a pivotal moment in their eight-year-long legal battle. On February 21, 2025, the case against two Metro Enforcement security guards, Ryan Bruce Mattingly and Alijon Khalil, will move forward in Rockford court. The guards are facing first-degree murder charges in the 2016 death of Valentia Jovan Fresco, who was tragically killed during an altercation with the guards outside an apartment complex in Rockford. On April 16, 2016, Fresco, a 34-year-old man, was allegedly struck in the face, choked, and grabbed by the guards as they attempted to handcuff him on a public street. During this struggle, Mattingly is accused of firing on Fresco, causing his death. Although the guards have been formally indicted on murder charges, the Fresco family has endured eight years of legal delays, facing endless hearings and slow-moving court procedures that have left them questioning why justice is taking so long. The family’s grief has only intensified over these years, as each delay has compounded their pain. They are now calling for community support as they approach this crucial court date, hoping to finally see accountability for the actions that led to Valentia Fresco’s death. The family is asking Rockford residents to join them in the courthouse on February 21, 2025, to demand that the trial proceed without further delay, ensuring justice for Valentia and a fair and timely trial for the accused. The Fresco family’s fight for justice represents a broader issue with the legal system’s handling of cases involving private security personnel and the use of force. Their message is clear: justice delayed is justice denied. As the case moves closer to trial, the Fresco family is determined to ensure that those responsible for their loved one's death are held acc
