It doesn’t matter whether Walter Wallace Jr. had a knife or not. The job of the police is to deescalate not murder. The only time they seem to be able to do this is when it’s a white a suspect.

We are fed up! The unjust murdering of our people, particularly our young Black men without any accountability MUST end, by all means necessary. Democrats and Republicans have failed the Black community. Enough is enough.

So, now the polls say 63% of Canadians believe in
#DefundThePolice. Up from 51% at the end of summer. Wondering whether political power will actually move on this, or keep ignoring it because the folks most at risk for police violence are so undervalued. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/canada/2020/10/26/1_5161325.html … -

Racism exists. Systemic racism exists. We can't in good faith ignore the things happening right now and deny it. From propaganda photos, to murders, to cover ups and lawsuits by those who committed those murders --this isn't a trend. The fight is ongoing.

"Kafi, who is Black & was 26 at the time, was thrown to the ground with her hands still cuffed. Her head can be seen bouncing off the ground & she appeared briefly unconscious. She suffered a broken nose & split lip."

William Wallace Jr. should've been met with caring mental health professionals who connected him with services and comforted his family. But 911 only sends police. Tell
@PhillyMayor@Darrell_Clarke to#DefundThePolice and invest in emergency first responders who can deescalate.Show this thread -

Who was kept safe by this? What a waste of resources. Imagine this. What if, instead of spending money on police to criminalize people who are protesting housing insecurity...the city...I dunno...just spitballing here...funded housing security?

My sister was stopped for speeding. I was in the back seat, he asked for all our IDs. I said no, there was no need for me to provide it since I wasn't driving. I didn't get pulled out of the car like this. It's racism and police know it.
