In 2017 we looked at #racial resentments and #racist sentiments among white #PoliceOfficers. "We know that officers are much more likely to search and arrest black citizens for drugs... and murder black citizens."

Seriously, Nick, what don’t you just unfollow those private Instagram accounts that post trash, racially insensitive, white nationalist friendly leaning content? Image
Nick, accounts like that depend on celebrities like you for follows.

You have already unfollowed Angry_Vet.

@stephenproctor Thank you. I honestly think it’s time we consider how we can transition into a world without police. Or do we do as the Apostles did in Acts 6 when the Hellenist widows were not getting served meals by the dominant culture food servers. 1/2
@stephenproctor The Apostles appointed a team of Hellenists to lead all food distribution. This moved power from the center to the margins. What would it look like to see the racialized origins of the police? 2/
@stephenproctor What would it look like for all of us to look the institution of the police full in the face and see how, it was an institution used by communities recognized as white to control newly arrived immigrant Europeans, not yet considered white?

What happened to #GeorgeFloyd almost happened to #ChristianCooper & has happened and continues to happen to too many black men in America brings back memories of what happened to me in August 2008 in Falcon Heights MN just 4 days after I arrived the US from Nigeria for my MPH /1
It was a Tuesday morning about 5am and I was still jet lagged & was washing my cereal bowl at the kitchen sink wearing only my boxers. I had rented the apartment with two other roommates who were also students at the university of MN but hadn’t moved on yet till the next week /2
I had only met a couple of neighbors and had once waved to one from across the street. While in the kitchen that morning I saw a flashlight from outside the window pointed at me. I thought it was one of the neighbors. I raised my hand to wave & realized it was a police officer /3

"Finalement, il a cessé de parler et est devenu silencieux. A ce moment, il avait l'air mort. Il semblait qu'il manquait d'énergie et de temps et était en train de mourir lentement. J'ai déjà vu la police être agressive mais jamais tuer quelqu'un devant moi»
