The intersection where George was murdered. Let me explain why the location was no accident. I used to rent studio space next door. Every day, I experienced or saw black ppl profiled and harassed by patrols where our only crime was daring to show our face in public. Where has the

media been? Think of all the black ppl those officers brutalized at THIS INTERSECTION before they were EMBOLDENED to kill him in broad daylight, knowing they were being recorded. Think of how many black men they harassed and humiliated before gaining to confidence to murder one.

If I, a Med-skinned, 5 foot tall black female have experienced profiling at THIS intersection what the fuck do you think they’ve been doing to black MEN? Stop waiting until it escalates to death to stand up for our lives. There’s a direct line between your “Im Not racist but this

negro looks suspicious” calls to the police and us paying for YOUR fears with OUR lives. There’s a direct line to ur white “I’ll support silently” tweets and our continued deaths. So long as white people are comfortable “supporting silently”, police will be comfortable killing us

Ur silence is not going to help our black sons make it home. Not gonna save me when I’m pulled over& asked what im “doing in this neighborhood” not gonna shield us from bullets and and tear gas.

White ppl confidently tweeting “i supplrt silently”; our blood is on your hands too
