    I want you to see this. It’s a turning point. For years many people asked if white women who sincerely cared so much about gun violence would ever speak out against police brutality. It’s happening. Thank you to @shannonrwatts & @MomsDemandhttps://twitter.com/shannonrwatts/status/980101023535579136 …

    Please read my oped about #StephonClark: "The unlawful shootings of Black and Brown people by law enforcement is gun violence. If we want to end gun violence, then we have to fight the systemic racism that can cause it, too." https://medium.com/@shannonwatts/we-have-to-say-never-again-to-police-violence-too-b3e8f54b9164 … @MomsDemand pic.twitter.com/AYx0wU69rS

        Shaun, “some people say” “many people asked” “people are saying” are Fox News tactics. Please don’t characterize “white women” as ignorant. I am white and I lost my 87 y/o white mother, recently, who taught her 5 daughters that all lives matter yrs ago.

        Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t the Sacramento police fail to identify themselves when they rushed this young man in his yard? The police vehicles were left at least one or two blocks away. I would have run too, seeing a group of people rushing me!

        The only way both of these critical epidemics see change is by joining together in unity. Empathy is required when one does not or cannot sympathize with another.

        They are clearly linked. Cops kill because they are scared. They are scared because anyone anywhere might have a gun. R’s like this because it “preserves freedom.” Political strategy should be gun registration/licensing. R’s then have to advocate anonymous gun ownership/transfer

        @shannonwatts is amazing. I am also grateful to her for pointing out that police shootings of innocent citizens need to be part of the conversation About gun violence prevention

        Yes...but ClarK MAY have broken some windows and he DEFINITELY owned a cell phone. Summary capital punishment was always the only solution.

        The UNBELIEVABLE fact that it takes white people to tell other white people that it is WRONG for so-called “protect and serve officers” to UNJUSTIFIABLY kill black and brown people, in order for many white people to UNDERSTAND, is the very nature of what is UNDENIABLY WRONG!
