    Meet #CharlesRoundtree. Just a kid. A teenager. Shot & killed by the San Antonio Police while sitting on the couch watching television. He was unarmed. Non-violent. Broke no laws. Was not a suspect. And then the police covered it up. Tried to at least.pic.twitter.com/0YGGbyn4zR

        The San Antonio Police lied about all of this. It’s 1am in the morning. In less than 9 seconds, the officer knocks on the door, shines his light through it, and then unloads his gun. Nobody was armed. #CharlesRoundtree never made it off the couch. Killed right there.pic.twitter.com/z3UlHwkndk

        I never heard them say “police” or make an effort to identify themselves as police. Another murder while they will look to vilify this young man.

        After yelling that shots had been fired, backing away from the property and positioning themselves across the street, a second officer across the way asks Casanova what he had seen. Casanova responds, “Hey, he had a fucking gun and he pulled it out!” Later, another man on..

        the property begins to crawl away from the home and out from under Casanova’s line of sight. A dog follows him out and is heard off-camera barking at the second officer, who shoots and kills the dog.

        Thanks! Can you imagine this happening in a suburban middle class white neighborhood? I grew up in one & I sure can’t. Police were deferential & polite & waited at door until owner opened it, & didn’t come in until invited.
