Ep13: Paul Castaway
“They love to kill people of color here.”
Lynne Eagle Feather
POLICE KILLING:
Gabriel, Paul's brother, talks about Paul having a good heart, always laughing, always joking. The kind of person that would give his jacket off his back for homeless people. Gabriel talks about the last time he got to see Paul alive - which was 2 days prior to being killed by police. The last thing he was able to do was shake his hand and give his brother a hug. Paul's last words were, "I'll see you later. Gabriel responded back, "I love you brother." then begins to break down and cry. Paul's brother was moved so much that he took part in Native Lives Matter and traveled around the states protesting with other families in bringing solidarity to the community.
