So @BaltimorePolice fired bean bags at a white man with a bomb but a black boy with a toy got hit with live rounds. #DedricColvin #Fox45

Any black child who encounters police knows their life is jeopardy. For #DedricColvin & others running is an act of self-preservation.

Which Race did Los Angeles Cops Shoot most between 2011-2015

Los Angeles police will shoot you quick if you are Latino or Black.

White people make up the largest population in Los Angeles, but police are not quick to shoot White people.
