Guns don't kill people.
Cops do.

Teen Boat! just favorited my toot about killing cops every 28 hours. I like Teen Boat! even more now.

.@codepitbull How many black people have to imprisoned, executed (by the state) and summarily murdered (by cops) for it to be genocide?

Here's an idea.

Every 28 hours a white cop is killed on the streets in America and no one is punished.

Seems pretty fair.

Remember when NYPD cops shot and killed Amadou Diallo and were found not guilty?

Fired 41 bullets.
19 hit.
22 miss.

@bastardkeith @kevinclark "Killed" or "shot and killed" is the verb you're looking for. Not simply "shot". ;)

@pinboard Nyet!

.@codepitbull Living without fear of being executed at will while walking down the street is not a civil right. It a human right.

.@codepitbull It hasn't *become* an anti-democratic police state. It's always been an anti-democratic police state.

@mitchellh I've been tear gassed and pepper sprayed. It's fucking awful.

And also against the Geneva Protocol.

@codepitbull @ivanoats You're right. It's not exactly the same as the ghosts of genocides past. But you and I disagree about what this is.

@codepitbull @ivanoats It's not just brutality. It's the systematic slaughter of black people. 1 is killed every 28 hours by cops.

@codepitbull @ivanoats It's not a competition.

.@ivanoats The systematic brutalizing, imprisoning, and killing of black people by the white police for decades sounds like genocide to me.

tasered
trampled by horse
hit by motorcycle/car
shot with wooden bullets
shot with rubber bullets
shot with bean bags
shot with lead bullets

beaten with a club
pepper sprayed
tear gassed
handcuffed
zip tied
strangled
knee in chest/neck
bit by an attack dog
sprayed with water canon

A modest proposal:

Every cop must get all of these things done to him before any basic training:

@sfposhy @seanbonner And the sad thing is it happens everyday.

What do we call it in when one side has all of the weapons and does all of the killing?

In Gaza, we call it genocide.
In Ferguson?
The US?

Remember when Albuquerque cops shot and killed a man for ”illegal camping” while recording it on their own camera?

Remember when Fullerton cops beat a homeless man to death on video and found not guilty?

So, to be clear, cops treat black men and dogs exactly the same.
