Calling her “an inherent danger to the community,” prosecutors on Friday asked a Miami judge to throw a 51-year-old mother back into jail for posting news articles on Facebook recounting her arrest on charges of stalking a Miami-Dade police officer who had shot and killed her mentally ill son. Prosecutors say Gamaly Hollis violated a judge’s order against using social media by sharing several stories this week about the June 2022 death of her son. Richard Hollis, who suffered from severe mental illness, was shot six times by Officer Jaime Pino in the family’s apartment. After her son’s death, the grieving mother took to the streets and the internet, calling officer Pino a killer and once confronting him at a crime scene. Miami-Dade Police arrested her on charges of aggravated stalking, resisting arrest and trespassing. After a year in jail, she was released on bond just a week ago.
The DeSantis police state doesn’t agree. HB 601, passed last week, bans civilian police review boards from investigating complaints of officer misconduct in law enforcement.
It's doubly ironic that Florida is infamous for their open "Florida Man" arrests. But sharing a(n already available) news story about a cop is crossing the line.
On Aug. 22, 2022, Hollis confronted Pino at a crime scene, and accused him of murdering her son. “You killed my son,” Hollis said to Pino repeatedly in Spanish, according to body camera footage. “Maybe if you did a better job, there wouldn’t be a problem,” Pino is captured saying in response.

This right here is what everyone should be concerned about. Yet I didn't see any of you talking about it.
This is the mechanism that allows police to be bad. And prosecutors to be bad.
Demand to know how and why this happened or you are just trying to strangle vapours
I envy Rich Hollis, despite the tragic circumstances of his death. The only thing my mother ever posted on Facebook about yours truly was a recording of the night she allowed her crack dealer and his goons to re-enact their favorite scenes from The 120 Days Of Sodom, with 5 year old me on the receiving end of their depravity
