I only used POC in this instance because the videos could be triggering for POC abused by police who aren’t black as well, but if I am wrong for the wording please correct me!

Please just call us Black. POC and Black aren't necessarily equivalent and using POC when you mean Black can encourage Black erasure cause we experience racism even among the POC community
