4 states (DE, IA, RI, TN) have laws that only allow police to use deadly force as last resort. Police kill 20% fewer people in these states.

The final moments of #AltonSterling's life looked less like a police stop and more like a public execution.
Louisiana’s decision not to bring criminal charges against Baton Rouge police officers in his death raises serious questions.https://t.co/G2nZR6jYEG

Thank you to the Kings & Celtics for leaning into this moment instead of away from it – which is what the NFL did for nearly two years. #StephonClark was an unarmed, non-violent 22 year old Black man shot at 20 times & killed by @SacPolice in his own backyard.

27.
American Police have killed 27 people since they shot & killed #StephonClark in his backyard 7 days ago.
That's more than police in most developed nations kill in a year.
More than police in most developed nations kill in a decade.
27 people.

#StephonClark is a National Tragedy.
It’s also a local cycle of violence we live with everyday in Sacramento, Oakland, LA, Ferguson, Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, etc.Ask the survivors.

Dear @WhiteHouse, your IGNORANCE is showing. Police brutality is not a “local matter”. It is a NATIONAL crisis. #BlackLivesMatter
