Do you know Ebele Okobi?
She's brilliant.
Head of Policy for @Facebook in Africa.
Former Senior Legal Director for Human Rights for @Yahoo.
Former Strategic Projects Director @Nike.
Her brother, Chinedu Okobi, a brilliant man, was just murdered by police in the Bay Area.pic.twitter.com/A9t2EcNqtJ
Before I say a single word to you about #ChineduOkobi - who was a brilliant, wonderful, kind soul - and my @Morehouse brother - I want you first to read the words of Ebele Okobi about her little brother.
He was unarmed and killed by police during a routine traffic stop.pic.twitter.com/11Qbt0Lx2m
What's sad to me is that we shouldn't need to take extra effort to humanize victims of policy brutality; if this guy's sister worked at a Starbucks, is he any less of a victim?
I think he meant by no matter what background people have, all African Americans are susceptible to this type of violence which is really sad
I think that is @Avner_D point. We constantly have to prove that we are good people and deserve not to be shot down like dogs. We dont just get to be human and have humanity bestowed upon us first
Exactly what I was saying. Why the injustice? And how can people tolerate this crap?
Don't expect truth from you... he fought with police, he was tazed, and died... investigation continues, but he was NOT murdered by police. He fought the police and lost, typical.
You do realize the man was mentally ill right and the police were informed of this. He. Was. Murdered.
My heart breaks for Ebele— she is a ray of light.
Nooooooo!!!
This feels never ending, it’s heartbreaking & evil
Sorry for her loss.
Sickening.
Sooo sad. My condolences to the family
Smdh,, and we have had enough, yet this is why we take a knee, and we support Colin Kaepernick just do it!
Enough!
i am so sorry, sweet dear one.
