Police custodial deaths are the norm not an exception. There are scholars and local activists who have been reading, researching and fighting this for years. When “hashtag for justice” ends there are families that will need the help and a system that needs to be remade.

I hope the brutal deaths of these men is not reduced to a media circus that will move on to the next tragedy. Defer to those who have been fighting and studying this for years. There is much to educate ourselves. I will use this thread to add resources. Please suggest others.

The @detsolnet has curated some important conversations. Please follow their work.
