This story is outrageous & unacceptable. But what breaks my heart is this: “Butler had always known there was a possibility that he could be targeted by police because he is black & was taught by his father to comply with officers if that ever happened.” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/b…
Too many families of color have to give their children this advice. Changing this & ending explicit & implicit bias in law enforcement & across the criminal justice is one of the key civil rights challenges we face.
Also, the Trump DOJ’s retreat from using consent decrees to address civil rights violations by law enforcement is a mistake the next Attorney General must correct.
