So when millions of us have seen with our own eyes the execution of unarmed black men, can someone explain how any policeman still feels permitted to do dastardly deeds like what was done to Jacob Blake tonight? (And don’t dare anyone say that we don’t have all the facts yet)

Easily. This has been going on for decades. I wish you would face the reality of this. It is state sanctioned violence and your bliss all these years have helped institutionalize it. Stop being so shocked. Wake TF up. This is America. This is us.

But they Are permitted. They're permitted as long as America permits them. No one is prepared to stop them, lest they're seen as "soft on crime".

WE don't have all the facts yet! Also how many unarmed blacks were killed by cops in 2019? I will give you the answer, 9! One is too many, but the number is not that high. By the way 19 unarmed whites were killed by cops in 2019.

tell @JacksonLeeTX18 to edit HR40 NOW #HR40 is flawed but can be fixed w/changes proposed by @SandyDarity. @JacksonLeeTX18 @repbarbaralee we support #Reparations 4 #ADOS! We ask you to #FixHR40 BEFORE the House Judiciary Committee moves the Bill. #LineageMatters #FIXHR40Now

Yeah I’m sure not the way you want to think of me when you see lafayette la in the news...sigh.

They enjoy it. Personally. They like to watch black men die confident that there will never be consequences. They love to wield absolute power of life and death over another being they consider lesser, and execute them for "resisting" with absolute glee in their hearts.

Didn't you just endorse the mass incarceration candidate who just said he wants to fund the police even more? They feel permitted because there are almost never any consequences. In fact, they usually get a paid vacation out of it.

How are you gonna be a bestselling author and still think "dastardly deeds" is the right phrase to use here
