Murder of #StephonClark reveals so many rotten facets of U.S. policing:

1) anti-Black bias & assumption of violence/guilt
2) property damage warranting armed (potentially lethal) response
3) ZERO de-escalation practice
4) trigger-happy or unacceptably-fearful dept culture https://t.co/voTq2CVB0A

It could happen to me. Or my sons.
