    This sister armed herself with a knife & called the police to report a drunken man trying to kick in her door while she was home alone with a 5y/o. How does she end up tasered & jailed for 5 days for allegedly threatening her attacker?pic.twitter.com/8Fao6d8kBF

        It's such an important part of the story; I'm sorry to see it get lost. This woman called the police to help protect her and her child from potential intimate partner violence, & the cops assaulted her. I hope she & her child are safe.

        The woman should’ve had a gun, then she’d be covered by all the gun rights of the 2nd amendment..uh, right? No questions asked by the police? Right? Oh,wait a minute-imagine her telling the cops she has a gun in her bag-wow-she wouldn’t have been tasered-it’d be CALL THE CORONER!

        If I were black I would not call the police. Probably safer faced against someone wishing to do you harm than a policeman that is supposed to protect you.

        Though absolutely true, this is the saddest post. I am so sorry it is this way. That is why I stand with Kaepernick and many others.

        As a privileged white man in Australia, entirely removed from what is going on, I feel it deeply, as deeply as is possible. I am constantly angered and frustrated at the continued injustices, where officers "doing their job", supposedly "fear for their life", murder in cold blood

        Love your post. I too am a privileged white persoan and I am acutely aware of how I'm treated and what opportunities I have because of it. I want the same for everyone. Neighbourhood policing is over. Local cops knew the people, where to find the troublemakers and descalate sht

        Remember now, this is the same police dept. that did the same thing to Jacqueline Craig & her daughters a year ago. The Craigs called for help & THEY go to jail. Something is rotten in Fort Worth.
