A lot of unarmed black men in the news haven’t been under 18


The Sacramento guy was in his early 20s with a kid. The guy in Texas wasn’t young but he had no pants. Philandering Castile was armed, but was obviously not a threat.

Cops killing black people is a problem. Shit, the Castile killing would even come up as an armed black man (as would the Alabama convenient store one). Then there’s the chokehold I can’t breathe one. Then there’s the highway shooting in Kansas, I think. Then there was the Charlotte one. Then there was the BART one that inspired Froitvale Station. Then there was the Cleveland area one with the kid with the B.B. gun. It is way too easy to come up with unecessary killing of black people by cops.
