Amadou Diallo was shot at 41 times and hit 19 by police. All he had was his wallet.
Stephon Clarke was shot at 20 times & hit 8 by police. All he had was a cell phone.

Some officers want to look at black men and think we automatically “fit the description” of a criminal. Some assume the worst about us b/c of what we wear. Why can’t we be looked upon as fitting the description of a successful business man or successful pro basketball player
