<![CDATA[They killed George Floyd on a false accusation of using a fake $20 bill]]>They killed George Floyd on a false accusation of using a fake $20 bill.
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.

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.

Roving bands of state executioners.
