    RED ALERT. I need you to know the name #ButchieYarber. One of the most upbeat, funny, beloved young brothers you could ever know. Brutally murdered in broad daylight in the parking lot of @Walmart by police in Barstow, California. Shot at 30 times. Unarmed, non-violent.pic.twitter.com/bkMHJWijyd

        I'm exhausted. I'm really not even sure what to do anymore. Nothing happens to these "police" anyway. I'm less tired maybe and more defeated cause these "police" get away with this mess cause they can and there's nothing we can do. I'm tired and defeated.

        We are at WAR. And people are scared to say it. We have to be honest about our situation in this country. And then we MUST act. Codify EVERYTHING we do.

        "One of the most upbeat, funny, beloved young brothers you could ever know." Did you personally know him? Can we wait for the full story to come out before you jump to conclusions?

        So are those crimes punishable by death? Does a prior conviction justify being murdered by the police?

        NO I DIDN'T. I brought that up because clearly he had a history with the Barstow police, so we need to know how this all fits into what happened. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

        People need to know that he was suspected of driving a stolen vehicle and when he was commanded to stop by officers, he instead rammed the vehicle to two police-patrol cars

        Suspected or driving a stolen vehicle bc that’s two different things. 30 times is a bit excessive don’t you think

        I disagree with the part of shooting him 30 times also because they could’ve shot the tire of the car instead or a much better approach. But I guess the part where he slammed the vehicle to patrol cars is what made them shoot him. I disagree but he should’ve done something else
