Police Force Cutting into Family Ties: 23-Year-Old Targeted by an Order Given by His Uncle By Betti Halsell, Contributing Writer Published May 20, 2021 Jamal Shakir graduated with two bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Digital Creative Media and Film, from LaGrange College, a private college in Georgia that’s ranked top 10 by U.S. News and World Report. (courtesy of Douglas Hicks Law) On Tuesday, May 10, Attorney Carl Douglas, and Black Lives Matter Los Angeles Co-founder Melina Abdullah joined 23-year-old filmmaker Jamal Shakir to announce a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and LAPD police officer, Eric Anderson. The premise of the case sounded like many others, law enforcement using overly aggressive force to manage a peaceful protest, but for Shakir, the order for his attack came directly from a family member.
