On the 5th anniversary of the uprising in Baltimore, new evidence in Freddie Gray’s death uncovers suppressed witness accounts of police brutality and changes much of what we thought we knew about this horrific story https://t.co/2o0C4jLzcQ must-read from @jewstein3000

Many witnesses said #FreddieGray was literally thrown into the van head first while handcuffed, then taken out, tazed, and thrown back in head first. There is a steel bench in the van that his head or neck likely hit. https://t.co/1s8zS89k6b

RCPD brutally tackled and hit my best friend’s 14 year old brother today over a swisher sweet! The officer had no reason to brutalize and traumatize this boy like this! He has a pre existing health condition which could be fatal under this kind of stress! Unjustifiable! pic.twitter.com/94fqyu3J28

Two months ago, two white supremacists murdered an innocent Black jogger in Brunswick, Georgia in broad daylight on a Sunday afternoon. We’re demanding justice. Know the name Ahmaud Arbery.

Police tased & then shot this unarmed young Black man 10+ times then stood over his lifeless body and joked about his funeral saying, “Looks like it’s gonna be a closed casket homie” – all while being recorded on his Facebook Live.

Police claim the Black man they killed in a Walmart posed a threat to them since he was “armed” with a baseball bat.

But video of the incident appears to show police shooting the man in the back as he walks away from them, after he drops the bat.https://t.co/2GQaGWyalb

Man with a bat shot dead by police in a Walmart today.

The reason this keeps happening is bc there are no consequences for the cops’s actions, even cold blooded murder.

Will this time be different?

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.

Anyone who defends these officers in any capacity should be fired from their jobs. They executed #AltonSterling. The Baton Rouge Police Chief is a disgrace for the speech that he gave today. He talked about people respecting the police as if the public is the cause of the trauma.

I don’t know what people are supposed to think watching this video and knowing Officer Salamoni is still in the area, two years after murdering #AltonSterling. Any black person in America would be reasonably justified to fear for their lives in his presence.

They held on to this tape for years. Set a murderer free. Then released it.

He said he was going to murder Alton before he ever touched him. Then he did just that.
