In US, black people cast as enemies of state & criminals - BLM organizer RT — SophieCo

A black caregiver shot by police in the leg while trying to help his patient. Another black man shot and killed after officers pin him to the ground. A black school employee shot in the car, while his wife and child are forced to witness the killing. Cases like this grab attention day after day, fueling a massive uproar against police brutality and indiscriminate killings of unarmed black civilians.
