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)

First he hasn’t died and you do not know all the facts as a matter of

Cops are a real problem. The mindset and culture they embrace is violently toxic, and the institution itself has been allowed an authoritarian mission-creep to the point where they feel protected in ANYTHING their “duty” calls on them to do.

We don’t have all the facts yet... The video shows a man defying police, not responding to the threat of a gun, walking to his car, and perhaps grabbing something. You just can’t do that and live to tell about it. I would have been shot if I did that and I’m not black.

This is what their (poor) training taught them to do. These are men scared out of their wits and trained to face their fear with deadly aggression.

He is now alive and stable. Thank God🙏🏾

This is a hard truth for people to accept but it's pretty simple: There are no good police. The police do not exist to protect the public, they exist to protect capital. There are not just "a few bad apples" Any "good cop" out there needs to resign immediately. Cops=murderers.

Well, we thought we had all the facts with George Floyd yet months later we find out we didn’t 🤷‍♀️
