So @BaltimorePolice fired bean bags at a white man with a bomb but a black boy with a toy got hit with live rounds. #DedricColvin #Fox45

Any black child who encounters police knows their life is jeopardy. For #DedricColvin & others running is an act of self-preservation.

Money can do a lot of things, but money can't buy back a 12yo child's soul or a mother's piece of mind. #TamirRice https://t.co/uqrqCgYrHK

It's the sentence that has me shook.
“Under the terms of the settlement, the city does not admit wrongdoing in the shooting.”#TamirRice

The New Civil Rights Movement reported on James’s story a few hours after the rally.
James says he and his mother had tickets to the event. He had the transgender flag draped around his shoulders, but was not disruptive or disrespectful. Despite that, Cruz staffers asked them to leave, and did so physically, he says.
James on his Facebook page said that staff members repeatedly “grabbed” him and ultimately “pushed” him “out of the venue.” He says they called him “ma’am,” and told him he was “trespassing.”

Albuquerque, NM – The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) released bodycam footage showing 10 officers firing at a man driving an SUV after they cornered him in a yard. The cops involved in the shooting told investigators they thought the driver, 20-year-old Rodrigo Garcia, had run over their lieutenant when, in fact, she had been knocked over by a falling fence.
48 rounds were fired at Garcia, with seven striking him, including one in the head that required part of his brain to be removed. Doctors said his injuries will severely affect the quality of his life.
