        DEVASTATING. We just learned that Jemel Roberson’s partner, Avontea, is almost three months pregnant. He was working jobs around the clock to provide for his family. They planned on telling the family this week before police killed him. That’s his 9 month old son Tristan.pic.twitter.com/tzcOhJzSrW

        The question is what do we do as a nation to educate & still help the MAJORITY of white morally corrupt people who elect, protect & vote for CRIMINALS? RACISM, BIGOTRY PHOBIA ARE DISEASES WE MUST ADDRESS before we can even move on!

        We'll see what happens in communities that are trying reforms. Washington state approved Initiative 940 in the midterms. It 1) requires de-escalation training and 2) removes the malice clause under state law, making it easier to prosecute police officers.https://www.king5.com/mobile/article/news/politics/i-940-passes-regarding-police-use-of-deadly-force/281-605763824 …

        Race aside, that's what is wrong with this "good guy with a gun" theory. The cops show up and don't know who is who.

        U ruined your would-be-rebuttal with: "race aside" race does not get to be scooted aside.. it remains ever-present.. the cops just have this TENDENCY to be trigger happy on apparent African-Am perpetrators.. cops R infected with this Fascist-Virus and the Right will not admit it.

        That was a jab made by the interviewee at how the police can murder people without just cause and get away with it. At least that's how I took it.
