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.
