This is exactly what I was about to tweet #ModernDayLyching

Lynching never stopped, the method or mechanism just changed!

Summary execution by agents of the state. For being black. Yeah, modern day lynching about covers it.

Why isn’t there a national march for these actions? School shootings (March for Our Lives) and the women’s march, there’s a national organizing of people from all walks of life to express their displeasures. When it comes to the lives of Black people, not so much. I wonder why?

State sanctioned homicide

This gets worse by the day. The murder itself was horrible. But to know his body was damaged so badly is absolutely gut wrenching. As I stated before this king was a victim of a hate crime. A victim of a terrorist attack. Murdered in cold blood in his own backyard.

Apparently, there is no end to the horror. There must be something we can do to reign in our paramilitary death squads. I am so sorry even his body was denied a dignified treatment.

Are any of these so called good cops gonna step up, where's black law enforcement on this? Smh...

This couldn't have happened if the Police had access to high tech equipment like FLIR and thermal imaging on a helicopter that could have enabled the area commander to micro manage the deployment of his fearful cops on unfamiliar ground facing an unknown possible threat....wait..

Sadly it appeared to be an execution.

You are telling yourself to call it what it is. How interesting.
