Where are black kids safe?

Playing in a park with a toy gun gets a black 12-year-old boy killed in two seconds after cops arrive.

Going to a pool party gets a bikini-clad 15-year-old black girl brutalized, slammed to the ground and mounted by an out of control bully cop and she is called "no angel" by a prominent faux noise newscaster.

A 16-year-old strolling in his father's apartment complex with Skittles and ice tea get's stalked then killed by a racist, wannabe cop who is found not guilty.

A recently orphaned (a fact that should have been considered before calling a known brutalizer) 16-year-old girl get's choked, slammed backwards in her desk to the floor then is thrown bodily across the room by a cop know as "Officer Slam".

A 17-year-old black boy was killed in the back seat of a car at a convenience store because another customer thought the radio in the car was too loud.

Whether it's a boy or girl black kids are increasingly at risk for their physical safety and even their lives and we have hordes of defenders of the brutalization and killings, even here on DU which sickens me.
