About this project

On 13 August 2020 a 23-year-old German man with African-American background, Sammy Baker, was shot to death by police in Amsterdam. Sammy was visibly in mental health crisis; videos suggest that the behaviour of police officers escalated this incident into a tragic and unnecessary fatal shooting.
State investigators ruled that there was no case to answer; the officers involved were not charged.
Thank you for reading, and for supporting the pursuit of accountability in this case. You can see more of our work at our websites, linked above.
