“I hope y’all know what the f*** y’all did,” an emotional Jasmine starts.
“My sister is gone and it’s not from a cop. It wasn’t from no f***ing cop! …
"My sister is gone because one of you, a protester, shot my sister. A protester, not the police!”
“Because you guys, I lost my sister,” she continued.
“I lost my sister because of you. You!
"You are so mad at the police that you are hurting everyone else.
"You’re so mad at the police, you guys killed my sister.”
“For those who don’t know, it wasn’t the police who shot my sister, it was one of y’all!” she exclaimed.
“And I swear to God we will find out who the f*** did it, and I promise to God it will be the last thing y’all ever remember,” Jasmine said, in tears.
“Y’all wild as f***, y’all walk around with guns, and you act and you pretend to be tough and you pretend to be something you’re not, and you got my sister killed.”
“Not by the police,” she emphasized, “but by your ignorance, by you’re f***ing ignorance I gotta bury my sister.
"I gotta bury my sister because y’all brought guns.
"It wasn’t a rubber bullet, it was a f***ing gun.”

“So I hope y’all know, this wasn’t the police, this was the ignorance of every single one of y’all that decided to shoot into a crowd, and that bullet just happened to hit my sister,” she continued.
“It wasn’t the police, it was you!” Jasmine yelled.
“And now I gotta bury the only person I had in my life, the person that took care of me, the person who took beatings for me so I didn’t have to, the person who was there for everything when I had my seizures.”

The 22-year-old was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
“She was always smiling, always laughing,” Hale told the Times Union.
"That’s why it’s so sad that she was taken in such a violent way.
“That is not Italia. She was the bright, bubbly big personality in the room.”
