We resist, we get choked. We comply, we get crushed to death. We surrender, we get shot.

30. Today is the first time I have seen the OP in awhile

Not sure how she is responsible for stories that weren't posted this week.

I followed police brutality and shootings for a long time and I still remember this shooting.

A big difference with that shooting is there was more universal outrage. Not as many people defending the police in that situation.

I support BLM and DTP because not only it helps African-Americans but it helps out others including myself.

People with Untreated Mental Illness 16 Times More Likely to Be Killed By Law Enforcement

I have a 100% service connected disability so I'm concerned about the issue but I also want to help out others beside myself. As you point out African-Americans are killed at higher rates and they are disproportionately stopped, charged, convicted, and serving longer sentences so police shootings are not the only issue in policing or incarceration.

I can't believe one of the few people that advocates for this and from a perspective many of us lack is called a racist.
