Today I attended a protest for #RyanTwyman who was unarmed and shot by the police 34 times— Mr. Twyman’s life was stolen by the LA county sheriffs department from his three young children.pic.twitter.com/iC8nfXfK11

If you truly care about gun violence prevention (which includes stoping police brutality) or racial justice don’t just sit on Twitter but get your ass on the street and work with oppressed communities as an ally not a savior. Simply start by asking how you can help.

He was not unarmed. He was armed with a Kia Forte, which weighs about 3800 pounds. He was trying to run down the deputies. He had a long criminal history and was being investigated at the time of the shooting. Tell the truth.https://laist.com/2019/06/20/ryan_twyman_deputy_involved_shooting.php …
