That tweet doesn’t do it justice.

Look at this picture

Look at the weapon

Look at the hand reaching for it

Look at the cop

Look at how there’s only 1 cop in the shot

Look at the nonchalant atmosphere

Now think of the countless black women and black men who are dead for the very thought of them having a weapon

Think of Tamir Rice getting shot 2 seconds after police entered the scene when all he had was a BB gun

Think of the peaceful unarmed protests that ended in tear gas, military equipment, and riot gear.

Think of unarmed black men and women getting shot with over 100 rounds for being a threat.

Think of Fred Hampton dying while he slept, FBI fabricating a shootout.

Think of Dubose getting shot once in the head, a report already filed and backed up that he tried to run police over before his death was investigated.

And then take a look at this. A white man clearly reaching for his gun directly in front of an officer. A man who will get to go home to his family. A man who won’t become a hashtag. A man who won’t even face charges.

This is Amerikkka.
