    His boss said, "Marcus was the most kind and genuinely good person I ever worked with." He never even made a verbal threat to the officer. Had a car accident and emerged from the car naked & confused. On the street in the middle of the day.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/996743178391875584 …

    #MarcusPeters was a school teacher and a recent honors graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University. He was unarmed, completely naked, in broad daylight, having a mental health crisis when police shot & killed him. He never even touched the officer. He needed an ambulance. pic.twitter.com/s3GYwAO1ze

        Where are WE? Change happens when people make it happen. We have to hit the streets. We have to vote. We have to hold their feet to the fire.

        Hitting the streets, getting out the vote, etc. Yes! But we need some receptive politicians in office to tip the balance. We need a Blue Wave in November to break through the Repub stonewall. #Vote

        Emerged from a car wreck naked and confused does NOT sound like a mental health crisis. It sounds like a life threatening medical crisis. It’s a sign of shock.

        I’m ashamed and sad that I am just now learning the depth of the problem. I am grateful for your posts and am starting discussions with my peers trying to spread the message.

        I work in community mental health and fear this every single day - exponentially more so for my male clients of color. So sorry for this young man and his family! We need the community to advocate for mandated & more extensive crisis intervention training for all officers.

        Meanwhile in the Daytona Beach airport, a white man wandered around naked and made a bomb threat. He was arrested and is still alive today.

        There is a problem in this country with shooting first - especially black men! Happens way too often

        How does someone like this get killed and then a white mass shooter live? The answer is obvious. But why? Do they really think that they’ll kill a whole race of people? Fuck em. They’re afraid they’ll become minorities in the future. But why? Because of the way they treat us?
