Same thing with what mass shooting victims look like and the carnage of our forever wars. Unless you confront the public with what is actually happening, the status quo will persist.

And maybe kids SHOULD see cops killing kids so they know to be fucking afraid of cops killing them too -- because they (too) often do.
