A system that fails to hold anyone responsible for killing #FreddieGray is unworthy of our support or consent.

This #FreddieGray news reminds me of ZoraNeale Huston's quote: "Ifyou're silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it."

#FreddieGray was killed, and it was proven. But apparently proof isn't even enough for our system to hold police accountable.

No criminal record, college educated, unarmed, wearing a polo shirt & jeans, hands up, and they still shot him. #CharlesKinsey

— MikkiKendall (@Karnythia) July 21, 2016

Police killed at least 598 people this year. There's no reliable data on the number of people who survive police shootings. #CharlesKinsey

— Samuel Sinyangwe(@samswey) July 21, 2016

The officer who shot #CharlesKinsey needs to go to prison. Until cops are held accountable, people will not trust them. Period.
