If you are still claiming police needed to kill a child I don't have anything to say to you. Because you're clearly okay with the state murdering kids & that's so far down the road to hell there's no turning back. We can't agree to disagree, we can't discuss it. You have to go.

This is my foster sister Ma’Khia I want her to be remembered as the sweet full of life young girl she was, not as what people are painting her out to be. I refuse for her to be painted as anything but the amazing girl she was #MakiahBryant pic.twitter.com/ayJsMcTwz0

Casually suggesting a taser as a de-escalation tool – especially on a child – is depraved.

Police killed at least 5 people today. This morning they killed someone in Lakewood, CO. Police killed two people in San Antonio this afternoon. Then they killed someone in Detroit and killed #makhiabryant in Columbus. https://t.co/GfRHZzTZvP

This happened at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. The kids who did it were overwhelmingly white. No police showed up, no tear gas or "less-than-lethal munitions deployed. Police in that same city just murdered 16 year old Black girl #makhiabryant. https://t.co/Dcyo0wgj3h

A Black girl is dead because the cops brought a gun to a damn knife fight. If you don’t know how to de-escalate teen girls who are fighting, you should not be a police officer. I said what I said. #MakhiaBryant

Brittney Cooper (@ProfessorCrunk) April 21, 2021We’ve literally seen cops apprehend, ARMED white teens, MOMENTS after the teens/young adults murdered people. Let’s not play this game. Short, short memories. Some even get taken to Burger King. Humanity is something not afforded to Black youth. Even when calling 4 help.

Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police. It’s important to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but this is also a reminder of just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country. pic.twitter.com/sgcbRjlApr

Even as we’ve battled the pandemic, we’ve continued to neglect the longer-lasting epidemic of gun violence in America. Although the shooter’s motive is not yet clear, the identity of the victims underscores an alarming rise in anti-Asian violence that must end.

When men frame a murderer's actions in terms of him "having a bad day" I can't help but hear them telling the world that they themselves are one bad day away from murdering women, & demanding empathy & recognition for that fact.

White supremacist classist patriarchy is dangerous because it insists on dominance. It leads white men to think we all have to pay for their “bad day.”
— brittany packnett cunningham is on extended break. (@MsPackyetti) March 17, 2021
Because apparently the racist, misogynistic fetishization and abuse of Asian women is just a white dude having a “bad day.”
It’s not economic anxiety, diabetes, or sex addiction. It’s racial hatred. Stop playing on my phone.

Black people have been under the boot of racism, white supremacy, economic anxiety, inequality and so much else. Despite it all, we somehow didn’t vote for a racist and didn’t storm not nary a U.S. capitol. But sure, let’s keep centering everything around aggrieved white people.
