    Read this police report about Sarah Palin’s son. Now substitute him with any Black man. I can tell you 100 stories where this ends with a Black man being shot and killed.pic.twitter.com/so64px4Yc3

        Absolutely. And instead of “Track” it would say “the suspect”. Completely commoditization of the person of color into an item. A disposable item.

        Yes. Trayvon Martin was also referred to as "the suspect", when he was the victim.

        The man went back into the house! TWICE! Police have justified killing black men just for thinking they might reach for something, or walking back to their car

        I agree. He would be taken out in a body bag if not for 1)who his mother is 2)the color of his skin.

        Right. She said he appeared to be on some sort of substance. He'll likely be given treatment, become the poster child for the "opioid epidemic" & be invited to the WH to stand over the thief-in-chief's shoulder, as he signs an EO designating 1b to opioid czar K.A. Conjob.

        He'll give lectures on substance abuse in conjunction with his sister giving lectures on abstinence.

        And the police knew there were guns involved.

        You can't help but think of the 12 year old with a toy gun who was shot dead before the cop car could even come to a stop.

        I had the same thought. Not only was Sarah Palin's thug of a son beating his dad up after apparently taking dad's gun, but he also came outside & called police peasants. Any Black child would have been shot since cops feared for their life knowing a gun was in the house.

        Holy shit! He was allowed to rummage through the house and take a sniper position on a roof or upper location, but walked away without a scratch? That's the white privilege right there. Damn!

        Prone position is a shooting position. Anyone else would have been shot and killed.

        If they had rolled up to the projects, everybody over 18 that wasn't dead would have gotten locked up, the house tossed, the babies would be with CPS , and the dog would be in the Big Park in the Sky.
