@ShaunKing please post to the news story pointing out that he was fired and that cases where he was the sole witness will be dismissed. 1/
Never forget this. I’m pinning this on my page. A supervising police officer, who was Assistant Chief in Louisville Kentucky told a recruit: If you catch a Black kid smoking weed, “fuck the right thing. Shoot him.” “If mom is hot, fuck her.” And more....pic.twitter.com/Qi2nh9jqqX

It is bad form to just incite anger without linking to a credible news source and updating everyone on what is being done in the aftermath.https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2018/01/19/prospect-police-officer-racist-messages-kill-blacks/1048979001/ …

TY, M. Ward, for that link. And
@ShaunKing , shame on you for not including a link with the screen grab or, at a minimum, in the next tweet as a THREAD. -
You may not realize this but somewhere along the line you have to do you own research. It's not Shaun's job to spoon feed us. He points us in the right direction. Pick your poison (I prefer DuckDuckGo) and search the net.pic.twitter.com/hr1lCqzkZ8

That was super condescending. He is a journalist. His job is to present the story. He has a lot of influence. Upsetting people with no follow up is what creates division. I appreciate his voice and his mind. 1/

disagree. white people like myself have been spoonfed too long. we need to do the work of dismantling racist systems...that begins with taking 5 secs to research a headline. stop asking the victims to resolve this.
-
Yeah. Should we do our own research? Absolutely! But as a journalist he should abide by the ethical codes of journalism: https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp pic.twitter.com/cXFoSMo8Ln

lets do our part. focus on what we need to do--we're in no moral position to address what victims of oppression do. you're nitpicking he's not chewing your food right now...not cool.

He was just fired LAST YEAR & worked 30 years in Law Enforcement. The messages were just released this week. Not sure why you mad at King when you can Google. Be mad that he had a long career and probably express these feelings outside of FB but no one said anything.

Lousy wppl always find a way to redirect their anger back to ppl who are ACTUALLY being oppressed.

So what was the outcome of the day interaction? Does the supervisor still have his job? Was the recruit hired? Do either one have access to a gun? Black ppl need to know who is stalking them.

Right?! It's all good that they post this but without context, or closure, or some sort of update, this is just telling us what we already knew. That cops talked like this. What's going to be done about It?

The post is enough to make people think carefully about the power of their vote; and for them to get the right messages out to their family and friends about how best to exercise their vote; and if there is no suitable candidate to try to find one. We are all responsible

Yet POC are told it’s all in our minds. We are too sensitive and should stop talking about racism and slavery. But until this mindset is chg we must address it.
