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

@penny I would say the inverse. It is an attempt at adding tone where it does not currently exist.

@freemo You can try to phrase it however you like, but you are the tone deaf one here

@penny You are welcome to your opinion. To me it appears you are the one who is tone deaf. Oh well.
