#BlackLivesMatter

For those who may not have heard, a black teenager was killed by a cop on Friday night in Madison, WI.
Just 6 months after Ferguson. Exactly 50 years after Selma.

This is horrible, and I'm not sure what to say, apart that I'm outraged.
Outraged that it's always a white cop killing a black kid. And simply outraged that a trained cop would shoot a unarmed civilian. You just don't do that, this is very wrong. There are other ways to apprehend someone. And if you can't, you call for back-up. You just don't shoot them dead.

You can try to argue, nothing justifies killing an unarmed, untrained, petty offender.
This is unacceptable. This shouldn't happen.

It shouldn't happen. It just happened.

I don't know how everyone isn't so utterly exhausted of the same shit over and over because at some point we have to make it stop. It has to stop.

Yes, exactly. Especially just 6 months after what happened in Ferguson and New York. I don't understand how this could just happen again.

It's horrible, so freaking horrible. When will they learn?

until there will be prejudices , intolerance and people judged for their colour, religion or social status or sexual preference this thing will happens again and again...

They will not learn until they are held accountable.

This is my main problem. It's obviously too soon to tell what will be the consequences for the cop in Madison, but I cannot believe that the cop from Ferguson and the one from NY both walked free.

This is just not right.
It doesn't matter that it was an accident or an error of judgement. Someone who didn't deserve it lost their lives. There should be consequences.

No words, just anger and sadness.
