      Why, yes. There is a pattern to who gets "mugshotted" even when a victim—and who does not even when convicted.pic.twitter.com/EUVINDzgAL

      Look, the mugshot debate isn't just about availability. Not when some murder *victims* get represented by mugshots.https://twitter.com/tparsi/status/740175790797623296 …

      Research says people see guns in black hands where there are none but miss ones in white hands. Lifetime of imagery. Representation matters.

      One of my examples of a victim above may be a driver's license pic. Even then, not okay. Friends said he was athlete, many pics available.

      So, yes images are not equally available. That process is tainted too. You're a journalist. Do your job. Go find an appropriate picture.

      Representation isn't a magic cure to racism. But a lifetime of exposure to black men as menacing—even when murdered—has *real* consequences.

      From unequal rates of conviction to how often shot by police to if hired to being disciplined in kindergarten. Representation underlies it.

      Journalists, when you are deciding whether to use a mugshot: images helped "train" the officer who killed 12-year old Tamir Rice. Do better.

          @CharlesMBlow Does that mean turning up the orange on Trump attack ads will present him as more of a fraud?
