    Dear Police. I'm not asking you to shoot & kill Grady Wayne Wilkes. He was armed, dangerous, just shot 3 cops, & killed one. You took him in alive and well. I am asking you to treat Black people with the patience, precision, and safety that you treat white murderers with.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1130447376395771905 …

    Meet Grady Wayne Wilkes. He just shot 3 police officers. 1 died. The other 2 are in serious condition. He is white. Almost all police officers are killed by white people. He is armed and dangerous. Armed white men continue to be the biggest threat of violence in the country. pic.twitter.com/65Y0fZAXjT

        I agree that there is a bigger issue of racial profiling and bigotry within law enforcement and America in general, but if you see how he has already been treated by the APD I think you’d agree he may be alive but he isn’t ‘well’ and he will receive the death penalty certainly.pic.twitter.com/IjYsTDJua3

        African-Americans are killed on sight in our own yards and even as children just based on suspicion alone. There's a HUGE difference.

        I’m not sure how this situation played out and I’ve had bad experiences with the Auburn PD before, I don’t think they had a chance to draw their weapons before they were shot. Maybe their weapons would have been drawn preemptively if they had been in a black neighborhood. Idk.

        The issue is that there's a higher chance the police would not have taken the suspect alive had he been black. This guy got beat up, but an innocent 12 year old black kid doesn't even get a warning before he's shot.

        2/2 I don’t know why. I’m sure they eventually had the opportunity to kill him but just because justice wasn’t done in the MANY disgraceful killings of minorities by police doesn’t mean that justice shouldn’t be done in this case. I dont believe in CP but he will get it I think..

        I second that my brother. And we see the double standard taking place in law-enforcement day in and day out. Toxic masculinity and law-enforcement against the black community.

        Here is the problem. We KNOW how to stop it. We just still caught up spending money on glitter when it should be on oir advancement like Mr Smith did with Morehouse graduate tuition debt. We could use a lot more of unselfish investment as well as industry investment.

        The only one I can remember were the DC snipers... Can the rest of US police get the same training as the teams that took them unharmed?
