As someone who is acutely aware of the fact that police kill someone everyday in this country, not much stuns me, but the killing of Anthony Lowe Jr. has truly floored me. This is a truly evil institution. He was a double amputee, he was trying to get away from them. Just why

As a ♿️ violence victim who was brutalized, left w/ permanent physical damage, & nearly killed by ER staff then charged w/ felonies for trying to save my own life... I sadly acknowledge the only reason I wasn't killed by cops before arriving at the ER was cuz I'm white.
