    What we are asking is that unarmed non-violent African Americans be treated with the same patience and respect as white men who shoot cops.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/990389600630685696 …

    This morning he shot a cop. Then barricaded himself in a house where he continued to shoot at local and state police for 10 hours. Now he is safe and secure in police custody. White Privilege.

        #Tamir never had 10 milliseconds of restraint from the police. He was a child; his killer was known to be reckless. When does it stop?

        Saw shitty texts in thread. Realized how much hate you have had thrown your way. I reported some. Wading thru @Twitter "add tweets" was gross. Would rather focus on your words. Doing what you do is a great service to us all. I appreciate you. We are lucky to have you. #LoveYou

        Usually when a someone shoots a cop all firepower is used to get the criminal. In this case the perp looked so much like a cop himself, I guess the cops couldn't bring themselves to harm him.
