Friends, We need to help DaQuan and his family deal through this traumatic ordeal. After being brutally assaulted by police, 17 year old DaQuan is now permanently blind in one eye. Chip in if you can.https://www.gofundme.com/pb9bs-medical-cost?pc=tw_dn_cpgntopnavlarge_r&rcid=r01-154954249442-70400245e65345b4 …

Poor kid. When will this brutality stop?
-
When people stop being fake outraged & fight back (not fist), become attorneys, run for office etc. All the retraining in the world isn't going to stop their hate of black and brown ppl. We can't even stop watching football to support Kaep's/our position. We have a long way to gopic.twitter.com/xwXswui5qC

Eactly, agree 100%. Black people have got to be more strategic. We need a 100 year strategy that identifies, trains and grooms future black leaders. We need a constant supply of critical and strategic thinkers with vision.
-
We need more of this. Neeeeed! We have to stop making to a desired position and leaving each other behind. Basically there are people who could help with this strategy but they won't because they're comfortable where they are forgetting where they were.pic.twitter.com/hkLHpVHsz5

Expect a news story in the next few days that this is “under investigation” and that the “department takes these matters seriously” and “the officer in question is on paid administrative leave”.
-
They will also fight all calls to release the name of the officer and if they do release it they will release it weeks later after all the mainstream attention dies down.

I am completely horrified that 66% of Americans believe this is fake news.. The minimization of all these situations has left me heart broken and frustrated with society.
-
They don’t believe that they know it’s true they just don’t want to be called out on it..think about how upset a racist gets when called a racist...still a racist

Their procedure when it comes to people of color is to shoot first and then find out what's going on!!
-
Or shoot first then make something up...
-
This has been going on for so long it's a way of life for some police precincts!! Maybe it's time to resurrect the
#BlackPanthers and police our own neighborhoods!! They don't want that!! Trust me!!

Sounds like that officer tried to kill him. I’m thankful to god he didn’t but justice needs to be served because this young man shouldn’t have been shot PERIOD!

If the officer used unnecessary force against a minor and this is proven, then and only then will that officer need to face justice from the court of law. Until the facts are released and the investigation competed, take a breather.
-
I think that sometimes people forget, facts aren’t always released.
-
Liars always slip up. We as a community just need to press for transparency and accountability, hold those that obstruct accountable.
-
Yes exactly right. I totally agree with you
