State College's 3/20 Coalition discusses police intervention in mental health crises


State College's 3/20 Coalition hosted Gabby Medina Falzone Monday night to speak at its "Criminalization of Mental Health Crises" event, which discussed the stigma behind mental illness and the misuse of force within the police department on those who are mentally ill.
The event was a part of 3/20 Coalition's "10 Days of Action" series to commemorate the two year anniversary of the death of Osaze Osagie.
Osagie was a 29-year-old Black State College resident who had autism and a history of schizophrenia. He was shot and killed by State College Police officers on March 20, 2019.
When three officers arrived at Osagie’s apartment to serve a mental health warrant, Osagie allegedly ran at the officers with a knife. After an unsuccessful attempt to deploy a Taser on Osagie, he was allegedly shot by Officer M. Jordan Pieniazek.

How are politicians gonna talk about issues like housing security if they haven’t live it?”

Michelle Alexander discusses mass incarceration, criminal justice reform during virtual presentation


New York Times bestselling author Michelle Alexander joined the Penn State community for a moderated discussion Thursday night, fielding questions prepared by the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Student Committee and others in attendance.
The virtual discussion revolved around the topic of Alexander’s book "The New Jim Crow," and the topics of mass incarceration and criminal justice reform.
Before the event, students Mimi Boone and Makayla Ashe said they wanted to see Alexander address racial injustice both at the national and local level in State College. Ashe (senior-applied statistics) hoped Alexander would discuss the shooting of Osaze Osagie.
Osagie was a 29-year-old Black State College resident who was shot and killed by a State College police officer on March 20, 2019. The State College police were serving a mental health warrant when Osagie, who had autism and a history of schizophrenia, allegedly ran at the officers with a knife. The officers unsuccessfully attempted to deploy a Taser on Osagie before shooting and killing him.
