I’m tired of black people being killed in the streets. I’m tired in my damned bones. Don’t talk to me. Just let me sit in this. Words are insuffiecient. Language fails.
You expect criminals to commit crimes, but you don’t expect the state (police) to commit the crimes. It’s so much worse. They have the force of law and the law is ubiquitous. How does one escape or avoid that. I want to SCREAM!
Human beings don’t just suffer quietly, cry under the stair, stiffen their backs and care on. They get ANGRY.

Also my white liberal friends, too many of these killings by police are happening in supposedly liberal cities in the north and west. What the HELL are you going to do about it?!!!
#AllLivesMatter my ***!!! If they did black people wouldn ‘t be being killed in the streets by civil servants.
