Say his name !!!!!!!!

ffs i remember this

her mugshot came up on my TL yesterday and I felt sick. devastating. :sad:

What? this make my skin crawl.

Oh jesus I just saw the mugshot, they killed her and took the photo of her body on the floor!

Heartbreaking

I think a lot of it comes down to when its on video. Reading a story doesn't have the same impact for many as literally being able to see someone get murdered, as awful as that sounds

RIP to the innocent lives that were lost </3 Read through some, some I knew of, just a sad read all-around.

That doesn't equate to all police being wrong and unjust or racism being widespread tho. Some of y'all are losing it. It is really sad and AWFUL how so many of these people have died tho at the hands of the corrupt, often racist, ones that have no sense of dignity in their job like so many that do

If it's not widespread then why are these stories so common? these are just the high profile ones. I see stories like this every month on my timeline. this is more than just a few bad cops, this is a systemic issue that can't be solved by just locking up a few cops.

Like why was Georges murderer allowed to kill before? If his case wasn't caught on tape do you really think he'd be in jail?

And why has only one been arrested on a manslaughter charge?

Yeah he shouldn't even have had his freedom, let alone his badge.

Some bad seeds do not make a whole unit racist/unjust/etc. Pretty common sense :shrug:

There are MILLIONS of cases, THOUSANDS of injustices, and maybe HUNDREDS of unjust deaths. There should not be even ONE injustice or death but that's not something to scrutinize an entire police force over :skull: Those people work tough, intense jobs and so many of them actually do their job right for a lack of appreciation and life-risk of their own.

The outrage makes sense, the deaths are worse, and I'm outraged at George's death too especially when I first found out about it, it was sickening to watch. But that doesn't mean go off the rails and start blaming everyone & everything because some people are still racist & unjust in 2020. The cop who murdered George was an awful pathetic man, any others that ARE involved in these incidents are also awful but not millions of other cops who do right.

This largely comes down to whether you believe the actions against POC in the country warrant a political protest. You don’t seem to think so, partly because you don’t see it as an example of institutional racism, just a few individuals doing wrong. I think every unjust killing merits political and civil denunciation and I’m unsure why you happen to feel different.

Well at least its open so we can discuss it
