He was breaking up a fight too, ffs
I hate that modern American policing is just a super high-risk game of Simon Says for black people and if you mess up at all you get 6 bullets pumped into your back.
Lies.
No, it IS true. It happens dozens of times every day in inter-cities across the Nation.
Unfortunately, none of those shootings make "good press", so nobody seems to care.
Loot and ruin lives over something that happens as frequently in one year as something else does in one single day.
Makes perfect sense, no?
(Again, not excusing out-of-line officers at all and believe they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and repeatedly say that police reform is much needed, but shouldn't the much, much, much bigger problem be getter at least as much attention?)
