With everyone having tunnel vision about just the Black Victims of police brutality, I think its important we highlight some of the non-black victims.
To be clear Blacks are disproportionately targeted and that does need to be part of the conversation. But this isnt a black issue, 75% of unarmed victims killed by police are white. This is an issue that effects us all of any race. Here are some of those victims, unarmed whites murdered by police.
Rhogena Nicholas - Killed by gunshot
Dennis Tuttle - Killed by gunshot
Jason Lewis - Killed by beating
Virgil Reynolds - Killed by gunshot
Regina Twist - Killed by taser in custody
Thomas Burns - Killed by gunshot
Dylan Papae - Killed by gunshot
Seth Victor - Killed by Taser
Francis Calonge - Killed by gunshot
And many thousands more
@freemo This is a particularly important point: Law Enforcement is a very attractive career path for people who just want a pass to be assholes.
And they'll be assholes to anybody. Period. No matter what you look like, you have a reason to care about this.
