    This is 17 y/o #DaQuanHuey. He was breaking up a fight when @TXK_Police arrived to a scene. He didn't posed a threat to anyone. Regardless, a cop grabbed him from behind, spun him around & shot him at point blank range with a JPX gun leaving him permanently blind in his left eye.pic.twitter.com/YaB40LrWOh

        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.

        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. #IanCovey.

        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.

        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.
