<\/a>\u201cWe\u2019re fighting back initially to use our economic power and to target theirs,\u201d said Marquell Bridges, organizer of Building Bridges Coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bridges, who was speaking for the child\u2019s father on Saturday, says they all want justice for baby Kohen and they want to send a message to officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bridges said he wants to send a message to Walmart, and says one way supporters can do that is by leveraging their purchasing power and choosing not to shop with the corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe time for sugarcoating is over. Whoever you are, whatever you are, whatever you do behind closed doors \u2014 it\u2019s time to come out into the light. I\u2019m so tired of cops and politicians telling me they\u2019re good people,\u201d said Bridges. \u201cIf you\u2019re a good person, it\u2019s time to show and tell and do and make good, moral conscious decisions and actions that shows and reflects you being a good person. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here, we\u2019re just trying to be good people and show this family we care. That we care about your baby and care about your community of Senatobia.\u201dORIGINAL STORY: Child dead, one critical after officer-involved shooting at Senatobia Walmart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n With a tattoo dedicated to his late son on the side of his face, Kohen\u2019s father stood in solidarity as Bridges spoke on his behalf.
