IF IT WASN’T NECESSARY TO SHOOT THE WHITE MEN WHO WERE ATTACKING COPS AT THE CAPITOL, IT’S NOT NECESSARY TO EMPTY CLIPS INTO A TEENAGER.

It should be lost on no one that Ma’Khia Bryant’s size will impact the empathy people have towards her and is part of the reason why this 16 year old child was deemed a “woman” in initial reports.

Ma’Khia Bryant should be alive today. She should be talking to friends and spending time with family and blossoming into adolescence.

Ma’Khia Bryant should get to grow up. She should get to make mistakes and have conflicts and learn lessons without it costing her, her life.

if you call the cops because someone broke into your house, and you get into a fight with the person who broke into your home, and the cops show up and shoot you, do you think that’s okay? Do you think that’s keeping people “safe”? Do you accept this potential outcome as normal?

The moment you tell me shooting and killing a child was necessary or justified, the conversation is over. I don’t have a lot of hard and fast rules but that sure as fuck is one of them.
