TONIGHT: Live with @DarkMimiTV, @EdgarAlanBro724, & @ZehraWasTaken to raise money for @phillybailfund. I know there are those who may not know and may be asking "why now?" Because there's another black man murdered by the police and his name is Walter Wallace, Jr.

Walter Wallace, Jr. was a 27-year-old man with bipolar disorder who was experiencing a mental health crisis. Concerned, his family called 911 for an ambulance to get him help. The police arrived first & pulled out their guns when they saw a knife. 2/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/us/philadelphia-walter-wallace-jr-shooting/index.html
The officers shot him multiple times, in broad daylight, and in front of his family, including his parents, who were pleading w/ the police for his life. He leaves behind his children and his unborn child, who his wife is due to deliver any day now. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/us/philadelphia-police-shooting-walter-wallace-jr.html 3/
The news media coverage of his murder has reverted to the status quo: focusing on looting and the destruction of property instead of the injustice of a man experiencing a mental health crisis being murdered when his family was desperately seeking help. 4/
Despite the fact that there's more scrutiny than ever before, police are murdering people at the same rates as any other year, despite a pandemic and a national movement. Important conversations have & continue to occur, but people are still dying. 5/ https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/
The road to justice remains blocked by people who maintain the status quo. Just YESTERDAY, grand jurors from Breonna Taylor's case reported that they weren't given the option to indict the officers for her murder & thought their actions were "criminal" 6/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/breonna-taylor-grand-jurors-say-police-actions-were-negligent-criminal-n1245022
Do not be distracted by the reports focusing on looting or the protestors. Months and months of protests have not lowered the number of people being killed by the police. Justice has not been served and we are dying for it. Don't be the moderate that MLK refers to here: 7/
We cannot and must not remain silent while these injustices remain. RT what happened to #WalterWallaceJr. Make sure people know why #BreonnaTaylor's murder has not been resolved. Support those marching for our rights. Remind people that #BlackLivesMatter

See you tonight. <3
