        Dear Prof @neiltyson in your days did you also walk in middle of the street, instead of footpath, after robbing a store?

        @Citizen72521 @neiltyson Was this person killed by an officer? Because that's the "Narrative".

        @Citizen72521 @neiltyson We are talking about the abuse of Police power, and their use of deadly force, so no that's not the discussion.

        @Citizen72521 @neiltyson I disagree. The militarization if the police lead to issues like Michael Brown. Poverty leads to BlackonBlack death

        @neiltyson @littleredblog Indeed, in NYC I've seen 7+ decades of dead black men shot by cops & no questions asked, even by the media.

        @neiltyson @littleredblog Of course ALL they had 2 say were the 4 magic words, "he had a record," so I guess we've advanced some.
