Agreed. The single most likely person to get shot by police is: 1. Black. 2. Young. 3. Mentally ill.
If anybody ever asks you what white privilege is, show them this video. Now listen to me. I’m glad the police didn’t kill this man. I hope he gets help. But right now, off the top of my head, I could name 100 Black folk who didn’t do anything like this and got shot and killed.pic.twitter.com/zptdQOwrev

It would be great if police would exercise this discretion regardless of the suspect's skin color, age, or sex.

If he were Black he wouldn’t have been able to get that close to the police. He would have been killed when he walked out of his door.

Or maybe in his home. IJS

Charles Kinsey was helping his client during the clients mental crisis. Sat on the ground w/his hands up, explaining the situation and was still shot. So many more examples, but even the black mental health prof are not safe while trying to help police with people like this guy.
