The following was forwarded to me in the form of a letter shortly after this murder happened. It was written by a fraternity brother of Kenneth Walker:
Kenneth B. Walker was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
He was another innocent, unarmed African American male who was brutally murdered by so called "law enforcement".
On December 10, 2003 a local sheriff's special unit targeted 4 black men riding in an expensive SUV as possible "drug suspects". The reality of the matter is that every individual in that SUV was a college graduate, as well as responsible citizen. These four innocent men were dragged from their vehicle at gunpoint, and forced to lie on the side of a major Interstate like animals. Simultaneously one of the "John Wayne" sheriffs made a conscious decision to shoot Kenny Walker in the front of the head twice, with a H&K MP5 assault rifle.
The coward who shot Kenny claimed that he made a "judgment call" because he couldn't see Kenny's right hand. While Kenny lie dying on the side of the road, the bastards knowing full well at this point that they had targeted the wrong vehicle, still harassed the other 3 gentlemen. They placed them in 3 separate cars and held them in 3 separate cells. Furthermore, Kenny was shot at 9:00pm and his family was not notified until 1:30 am. They didn't even get a chance to say their farewells, because he died before they arrived. Of course they found no guns or contraband in the vehicle. 6 hours later they released the other men. They gave the driver his keys and said, and I quote "you're free to go, by the way your friend is dead".
Kenneth Walker was a loving husband, devoted father and responsible civic oriented individual who was involved in the local community. Not only had Kenny never been in trouble with law; when they pulled his record they couldn't even find a speeding ticket! So what it amounts to is that if you are a black male in this country, no matter how righteous, your life is subject to come down to a "judgment call". To add insult to injustice, this tragedy is being stonewalled and quietly swept under the rug by local government officials. From what we understand, the entire incident was caught on tape. The Sheriff's Department is refusing to release the tape, which is a matter of public record under the "Freedom of Information" Act.
Columbus is a small town. The "Good Old Boy" network is very much alive there and the longer they hold the tape, the more likely it will be altered or disappear all together (remember the 90 seconds missing from the Cincinnati tape).

These "Cracker" Neo-Nazis, like most cops are, really make me sick! I've watched one cop murder after another, until they've added up to a great deal too many (one is far too many), and I'm so tired of their immunity and impunity that I could literally cry buckets of tears! If you or I (I'm "white") did even a fraction of the Constitutional-rights-violating, murderous crap that they've done, we would have been lethally injected, if we were "lucky", a long time ago, or we'd be sitting on the "row" right now rotting away in hell, just like the few ulta-elitist white neo-Nazis want! Fuck this bullshit! I'm fit to be tied! "It is written, thus says the Lord [God in Jesus the Christ, the Word(s) of God]..." "Even so, come (sooner than soon), Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20; emphasis added by me), and deliver us all from all of this hell on Earth!
