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
Before the nazis show up here,
Remember Frederick Hopkins, white
with a police record &
with multiple weapons,
in Florence, SC?
Couple weeks ago shot 7 police officers. KILLED ONE POLICE OFFICER.
Hopkins wasn't shot. Wasn't tased.
"Taken into custody."
#ChineduOkobi
This is how police officers treat a white man who kills one of their own.
Frederick Hopkins in Florence, SC, not a hair harmed on his murderous head.
But in police in #MillbraeCA "had to"
tase to death
UNARMED #ChineduOkobi during a traffic stop.

Until the police realize they aren’t above the law this will continue to happen. Please share my story as well https://www.facebook.com/100000165311816/posts/2339935996021888/ …
My brother suffers from schizophrenia. They do not care about mental illness. $$ or death, that's all that matters. This breaks my heart.
I hate that this has become an average day in America. It's insane.
The police can into custody a known cop killer (who was white) but fear for their lives from random black men they know nothing of? That’s irrational. And there’s a word for that irrational fear, it’s racism. There is no other explanation.
We stayed on the same floor freshman year. This is heartbreaking.
What dorm? Crazy, RIP. I don’t remember him. I need to look him up.
He stayed on my floor freshman year. LLC. The Dungeon.
Sad. I really didn’t know him.
A routine traffic stop..let that sink in. MEANWHILE, a white man who killed several cops was taken into custody UNHARMED
BLACK! LIVES! MATTER! NOW & FOREVER!
Rip king
Oh no.
He was killed by a taser, not a firearm? And he looks like a big guy, too. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the militarized police shouldn't even be trusted with supposed "non-lethal weapons." May his name be remembered. Lock up those pigs, too. Family needs SOME closure.
