Cops Successfully Disarm A White Person Without Killing Them - Supplemental 22/09/16

Jesse Williams: “We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people everyday.”



“The North Carolina woman pointed the gun at two civilians asking if they were police officers.

Then she stood in front of an employee entrance and, with the handgun raised in a shooting stance at police, yelled that she hated cops and then screamed “boom boom boom,” officials said.” (Source)

Hmmm... I wonder what makes this woman any different from Tyre King, John Crawford and Tamir Rice.

by a citizen of color is a death sentence in this country. Whether Crutcher was in possession of a weapon or not, all these executions are obviously related to the color of skin of the individual(s) concerned, police andd victim.
