Two prosecutors who refused to charge cops in the shooting of unarmed black kids/people

That's two fucking HUGE wins for Black Lives Matter

And they are the grand marshall for San Francisco pride this year!!!

I am glad they are making a dent in the process that clearly needs to be dented. We keep moving forward together and we will prevail.
