They killed Eric Garner on a false accusation of selling loose cigarettes.
They killed Kalief Browder on a false accusation that he stole a backpack.
They killed Kohen Wiley on a false accusation that his mother stole diapers.This is not new. This is not a bug in the system. This system has always lied to justify dehumanizing Black people as less than property. This system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect.

@QasimRashid Even if any of the allegations were true, or even understated, none of them should have died.
Roving bands of state executioners.

Executioner implies some modicum of process, a division of responsibilities between the person ordering the death, and the person / people doing the killing.
ICBW, I don’t think that was the case here. And I’m not sure if it would be better or worse if it were.Agreed that it is irrelevant whether the accusations were true.

@QasimRashid Yet if a cop gets killed for calling someone a racial slur all hell breaks loose.

@LukefromDC @QasimRashid That’s because cops in this country are universally armed and violent, and the judiciary is lenient to pig violence.
