    Again, find me an example of a young white child TASERED while riding an ATV. The flippant, casual, regular use of violence against Black folk by American police is utterly disgusting.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/995075748426911748 …

    I need you to know this name. #DamonGrimes He was just a 15 year old boy - unarmed & non-violent. He was riding an ATV when an officer TASERED HIM while he was riding it - causing young Damon to crash and die. Of course it did. https://www.wxyz.com/news/disturbing-police-video-the-moments-after-atv-crash-that-killed-tasered-teen … pic.twitter.com/Ur258RQPZP

        Black people literally can’t even take a nap in America without having the cops called on them. Or have a bbq, take a walk, listen to music, stand in their own back yard, go to prom, get coffee.... the list goes on.

        It's especially disturbing how little they cared, even after he was severely injured. Depraved indifference to human life should merit punitive damages and criminal charges.

        We need to begin purging law enforcement agencies of the sort of small minded, insecure jerks who target people of color in the implementation of their duties to protect and serve.

        I know. That's the hard part. I guess we could begin by holding the ones accountable who have done things like this by firing them and branding them as unfit for law enforcement so they don't get hired elsewhere.
