He was killed by police two months ago, but body cam video was just released—officers must be held accountable. https://t.co/l6NnwdwkiH

One of the most painful things about the #ElijahMcClain story is it happened nearly a year ago & many of us are just finding out about it. Literally can’t even imagine the number of unarmed black lives that have ended that went unnoticed. https://t.co/lEO3h99gCy

The same officer was caught on video in 2014 pistol whipping a teenager and knocking the child’s teeth out. Now he chokes out a man and is suspended w/o pay. They know who the “bad apples” are. That’s why the problem is systemic. https://t.co/fkfeZJhUH5
