Nicholas Heyward was shot and killed by a police officer while playing cops and robbers with his friends in Gowanus. His last words were “We’re playing.” Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a police officer while playing in a Cleveland park. The cop fired less than 2 seconds after arriving on the scene.
Tyre King was shot multiple times and killed by a police officer when they believed he matched the description for a robber in the neighborhood. He was 5ft tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. The robber being investigated had stolen $10.
Aiyana Stanley-Jones was shot and killed by a police officer when, while investigating a local shooting, they bust into her home without warning and fired within seconds. She was SLEEPING. She was SEVEN YEARS OLD. And the whole thing was getting filmed for a true crime TV show.
Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer while walking home. The shooter claimed to act in self defense. Martin was holding a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Ice Tea.
Cameron Tillman was shot and killed by a police officer while hanging out with his friends in an abandoned house with the owner’s consent. He was alive for at least 45 minutes. The officers offered no medical assistance.
Jordan Edwards was shot and killed by a police officer in the passenger seat of a car while leaving a party. The car was driving AWAY from the cops and the officer fired inside the car under the grounds that the car had backed up towards him “in an aggressive manner.” Kiwane Carrington was shot and killed by a police officer outside a house in broad daylight while the cop was investigating a suspected break in. Carrington was known to the house’s owner and welcome there.
Laquan McDonald was shot and killed by a police officer while under investigation for slashing a squad car’s tires. He was shot SIXTEEN TIMES while walking AWAY from the officer.
DeAunta Farrow was shot and killed by a police officer while walking in the park. The officer claimed Farrow had a toy gun, while witnesses claimed he was holding a bag of chips.
All children. All unarmed.

On this Juneteenth, we’re filling to the brim with joy…taking the necessary time to retreat…and breathe…and rest…and be restored. So we can get back out there and keep fueling the fire. Gonna soak up my family and the sun and the trees up here in these mountains and pray like Yeshua…this is the last weekend trip our son will have with Mommy and Daddy before baby sister arrives…exhale. Gotta look up. Grateful for the change I’m seeing and WILL continue to see. Hope y’all are able to be present today. In this moment. Love and peace to you. #happyjuneteenth

THIS IS NOT TO INCITE SYMPATHY
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I recorded this video yesterday morning. I heavily debated posting it. But I realized that in order to help foster empathy, one of the very engines of change, we gotta have open, honest, and raw communication flowing freely between us. I think we need to expose ourselves to each other. Deep, harsh truths are being revealed to me in this time, but in the midst of my pain is healing. So much healing. I want that for all of us. I’m grateful for the work God is doing in me. And I’m grateful for the all the change we’re causing. Let’s keep going. 🖤✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿🙏🏽✊✊🏾✊🏼🖤
Please watch. Again, the absolute clarity of the disparity! Thank you @shaunking for posting! #blacklivesmatter
It’s mighty powerful to post, but it’s not enough, for any of us. There’s a lot here. If you truly want to do more but are daunted by these lists, don’t be discouraged but consider them a starting point. (If you weren’t aware, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has now taken over George Floyd’s case, it is no longer District Attorney Michael Freeman.) I encourage us all who are available to listen in on the NAACP’s tele-townhall tomorrow featuring Rep Val Demings (D-CA) and others. I also encourage us all to VOTE. I encourage us all to continue educating ourselves. I encourage our non-Black #allies to continue having or start having difficult conversations with your family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances and associates. I encourage us all to NOT LET UP, even if/when this charged moment passes. As cliche as it sounds, we do this together. That’s just the truth. Thank you to @kamali.obiagu for finding this compilation and to @itstiffsturn for sharing. 🖤 #blacklivesmatter

Dear George,
We collectively laid you to rest today and your spirit remains within us. Your death broke us, but your life was a gift that can never be measured. We will treasure you, honor you, and vow to transform because of you. You have changed us forever. Rest in Power, King. We got this. #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #restinpower @nikkolas_smith

Beautiful piece. “We don’t have to fear fairness. We don’t have to fear equality. We don’t have to fear doing the right thing.” AMEN. Thanks @tryphena_wade for sharing.
