The tragic case of Corey Kanosh, 35, has received very little media attention, in spite of the growing outrage over police shootings of unarmed, innocent citizens. In Corey’s case, we are not dealing with an African American man shot by white cops, but an unarmed Native American man who was suspected of crimes that he was later proven innocent of, who was given only seconds before police opened fire on him.
Corey was a member of the Paiute Tribe of Utah. In spite of the historical injustices committed by the State against Native Americans, his story has received virtually no national attention. Now, his friends and family have been pushing to move the legal process forward, but so far they have only raised a tiny amount of money.
“The hold up on progressing has been due to lack of money to fund the oh so dreaded legal process,” they explain. “We need your help. Please help us on our way to get this case back up and ready. It’s time to take on the unwilling non-cooperative Millard County Sheriffs Department.”
Corey was shot by a Millard County sheriff’s deputy after he was wrongly suspected of car theft.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Lindsay Mitchell explained that a 911 call was made about the theft of a car from the Kanosh Paiute Indian Reservation. But Corey had nothing to do with that.
Watch the report in the video below…
Police claim that Corey tried to fight off the deputy who attempted to handcuff him for crimes that he never committed. This raises the question of when self-defense is acceptable against police who attack us without probable cause. Was Corey justified in trying to defend himself? Do you believe the official story?

Fundraiser and help us SPREAD THE WORD!
I Unfortunally i personally can not help with your funding: however I am always stunned by the atrosities that Native American peoples have had to endure. I do suggest that large numbers of all tribes across the country gather in protest until the media takes notice and also ask that Indian Casinos support and contribute to funding a legal team. I’m sorry for your loss and send condolences to you and your family.
Of course we are justified in defending ourselves from criminal code enforcement thugs who have no probable cause or warrants but that does not mean that they’ll respect it. Do I believe the official story? Not one bit. They’ve made an institution out of lying and protecting themselves from accountability for their ever-increasing crimes against us. They are predators who prey on unarmed and, so far, fairly cooperative people. I expect that to change at some point and those thugs may get a taste of what they’ve been dishing out for so long.
Unfortunately, Corey’s mother is learning the hard way about calling the code enforcement thugs about anything. They have no morals, no integrity, no intelligence, no common sense, nothing that they’d be expected to possess in that line of work. However, they do have lots of cowardice, stupidity, brutality, murderous intent, greed, evil and delusions of grandeur.
Nothing can comfort the loss of one’s child, especially in such a manner as this. I ask God’s blessings and loving arms for Corey’s family. There will be an accounting for these actions by these evil reptiles; I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.
