If minorities are being killed disproportionately, the federal government has a duty to help hold those responsible to account and to end this scourge. https://usat.ly/2J4ALs7 (via @usatodayopinion)

But their "perceived threat" comes from a place of fear of POC. Stephon Clark died bc he was a black man. Any other figure in that back yard would not have been shot at 20 times. I want our police to be more afraid of taking an innocent life than they are of losing their own.

To many officers, a man just being black is already a threat regardless of the situation, which is why so many of them die. Police are afraid of them, and don't see their lives as valuable enough to take more caution to not overreact on their implicit bias & murder innocent POC.

"Well, maybe Stephon Clark shouldn't have been ________ and he wouldn't have been killed." If you can't fill in the blank with anything other than "black" then it was clearly MURDER. Obviously unjustified, and merits a legal remedy for his murderers. This HAS to stop!

Commuting crimes and failing to obey police commands to get down?

Tragic for all involved. Stephon , his family and the police. I don’t believe they want to kill people.

They don't give a crap about people, stop kidding yourself

Feeling threatened is a pass for cops. Perhaps they should go to work in, I don't know, maybe a daycare center.

Kind of weird to come out with this in advance of an investigation, isn't it?

guy was on he’s knees holding a phone complying with orders. When he wasn’t, he was shot 20 times. That’s I good reason not to
-
He wasn’t on his knees and he wasn’t complying
-
if he wasn’t it’s because Police didn’t give him enough time to comply Video I saw shows him on his knees when he’s

-
May want to have your eyes checked then. He wasn’t in his knees
-
(*on) but it’s ok, people make mistakes. Im not the grammar police and you ain’t getting shot. ;)

Is it just me, but if a policeman tells me to stop, I stop and put my hands up.
-
Going out on a limb and guessing you're white.
-
Every father, black, white, Hispanic tells their kids listen to cops. Why? They’ve got guns.
-
Weird. My husband and I have never had to explain to our twin boys that they shouldn't be holding cellphones in our backyard.
-
But I’m sure you told them not to break the neighbors windows. Someone might call the police

-
Nope, never had to. And somehow, magically, they never broke a neighbor's window.
-
Finally common ground. Don’t break windows use your phone wherever you want
