0.6 seconds. #AtatianaJefferson was shot by the Fort Worth Police just 0.6 seconds after yelling through her window.
She didn’t even know the police were there. She was playing video games with a child on a holiday weekend.
She broke no laws. Nothing.
This is murder. pic.twitter.com/rNBAOihWZU

In his usual manner @betoorourke took time to sit with the family of #AtatianaJefferson and connect with them on a human level. After a tense week— I haven’t seen these sisters so disarmed. They let their guard down and spoke to Beto about what this experience has been like. pic.twitter.com/neoyKKxRpt

When we tell you we don’t have to be anything other than Black to be killed by those sworn to “serve and protect,” believe us. The first time.
You’re denial continues to harm us, because the police keep killing us.
Just for existing. #AtatianaJefferson https://t.co/Cv865G7Nfe

Black people need another phone number to call other than 911 during emergencies.
Over the past 10 years American police have shot and killed TWICE as many people as the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq & Afghanistan combined.
11,000+ and counting.
