i am floating on the depth of Black love and joy I’ve been experiencing honoring Black history—
while simultaneously being gutted by the further traumatization of ceaseless acts anti-Black viligiant and state-sanctioned violence.

the duality of these experiences are just part of the reality of being Black in America.
one minute you’re walking in the power, love, and joy of being Black, and the next your being sucker punched by the news of another Black life stolen. #AmirLocke

you are whiplashed back into consciousness of all the violent colonial, capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist systems and structures to which you are largely powerless.
TW: Police murder of an unarmed Black man asleep in his own home😓
Amir Locke was 22, murdered by MN Cops while sleeping during a no knock raid. He wasn’t even named in the warrant. This horror is modern day lynching. It’s tyranny. You cannot reform this.

Body cam proves every line in MN Police report is a lie:
•Police did NOT announce themselves before entering
•Locke did NOT point a firearm at them
•The passive "shots were fired" tries to absolve police
Just like the George Floyd press release, this was a murder coverup.

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act bans no knock raids. It passed the House. But, due to the Jim Crow filibuster that Senators Manchin and Sinema insist on protecting, this horrific tyrannical practice is still considered legal.
Breonna Taylor & Amir Locke deserve justice.
