    Not only did #JemelRoberson risk his life to stop the gunman, he chased him down outside, pinned him down, & waited for police to arrive. When they did, as eyewitnesses screamed that Jemel was the hero, police shot & killed him instantly, claiming they thought he was the shooterhttps://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1062011176211615745 …

        what’s even crazier is that this is just another day for police officers, they won’t get in trouble they’ll just continue to live their life normally

        Im honestly confused how something like this happens. Im absolutely sure he did not loook like a threat when they pulled up. They pulled up with the intent to kill. They dont care about POC enough to try to save the life.

        And what will happen to the trigger-happy police? Will there be justice for #Jamel or will he be just another sad statistic?

        There will be NO justice for Jemel Roberson. In the sight of White America's legal structure, Black People are still slaves and the Police are Slave Catchers. When police see Black People they do not see humanity. As long as there is racism, this will continue.

        I'm truly confused by this. Since when would a shooter pin someone down and wait for the police to arrive?
