oh god the social justice bloggers came for me

#but really I am actually feeling sick from the amount of hatred you people are directing at me

#i have been honest in everything i said

#and you lot just assumed that I was uninformed on purpose

#and got mad at me for not immediately dropping hours on open-ended searching

#Side note: you can’t get mad at me for asking for information which you obviously have on hand

#But anyways

#I’m done with the internet for now

Has you life really been so fucking golden that you think you’re experiencing hatred right now?????

Do you realize that the fact that you are living a life in which you have the privilege to be ignorant of police violence and that insulated you from even having to KNOW that people of color including children are being murdered by the police every day is an irritant to people who have to live with it and die by it?

“got mad at you for not immediately dropping hours”

OH WELL THEN

TRY HAVING THAT BE YOUR WHOLE DAMN LIFE

Here’s a starter story about a small fraction of unarmed young black men shot by police including

Aaron Campbell

Alonzo Ashley

Amadou Diallo

Culture

Ervin Jefferson

George Zimmerman

Orlando Barlow

Oscar Grant

Ousmane Zongo

Patrick Dorismond

Ramarley Graham

Ronald Madison and James Brissette

Steven Eugene Washington

Timothy Stansbury

Travares McGill

Victor Steen

Wendell Allen

Kendrec McDade

And here are a few children shot by police:

Trevion Davis, 13

DeAuntae Farrow, 12

Stephon Watts, 15

Aiyana Jones , 7

Michael Ellerbe, 13

Shot by “vigilantes”:

Treyvon Martin

Darius Simmons

Chavis Carter was shot in the head while handcuffed in the back of a police car, and his death ruled “a suicide”.

Every 40 hours a Black person in America is killed by the police.

In California the violence often extends to Latinos.

In fact the police will attack you even when they’re off-duty for “being in the wrong neighborhood”.

In fact, if you’re a 68-year-old veteran who’s MedicAlert bracelet goes off by mistake, the cops will reak into your house and shoot you to death.

But seriously, how long does this list have to be to convince you that POLICE VIOLENCE AGAINST POC, ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE, ACTUALLY EXISTS????????

AND HOW DEVOID OF HUMAN EMPATHY ARE YOU TO THINK PEOPLE BEING MEAN TO YOU IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THESE DEATHS????
