Listen, I’ve had enough today of this bullshit.

Cops are trained to disarm people, and if they can’t, to tase or shoot in the extremities, not the chest.

In a free and just society, a cop doesn’t walk up on a Black girl and shoot her 4 times in the chest NO MATTER WHAT.
But our system was built to excuse cops who kill Black people and my TL right now is full of white men and women who will excuse this because they’re conditioned to accept cops taking Black lives.

You think she deserved to die? A sixteen year old kid?

You’re part of the problem
And maybe, for once, keep your fucking mouth shut.

Just once.

Until you know better.

My God, enough.
And don’t you dare come on to my timeline talking about “she was the aggressor” when the cops shot her in the chest four times. Don’t you dare spill that racist gaslighting bullshit here. DO NOT.
White women, you are also getting blocked. Nobody better ping me on Patreon tomorrow complaining “oh, it’s so unfair, you blocked me for disagreeing with you, *sob*.”

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.
Before you tweet shit here one more time, ask yourself: if you were in a largely white private school and a cop shot a white girl in this circumstance, WOULD YOU BE TWEETING THIS CRAP?

NO YOU WOULD NOT. I KNOW IT, AND SO DO YOU.

I am done with this enabling complicit bullshit.
DONE.
