I refuse to normalize the killing of Black youth. Ryan Gainer deserved to live a full life. No amount of trainings can undo the anti-black racist foundations of our police force. Nor are they equipped to address the needs of our community members living with disabilities.

“Cops come here all time for nothing. Get a tiny scratch, go to the ER, wait for hours. They don’t care cuz they’re on the clock. It’s for their pension, they get more money if they claim injury.” – ER doctor to me after I said I got injured filming a police rush on protestors. https://t.co/sZuam30gzg

One of the most important lessons I learned from reading Toni Morrison is that there is no level of bending or acquiesing to whiteness that will ever overcome white supremacy and anti-Blackness. Our performance of “goodness” won’t ever earn inclusion or respect.

Today is the 9th anniversary of Mike Brown’s killing. He would be alive today if the institutions of racism and white supremacy were eradicated. He should be alive today. We will never forget. We will continue to fight for justice and accountability.

Kansas City police department claims that two of the cops in this clip have been “disciplined” for attacking a man they assumed didn’t pay for a $5 pizza.

Not only did he have a receipt showing he paid, he was also not legally required to show it.
