Police officers arrested Donald Neely, who is Black, for trespassing, handcuffed him, attached a rope to the handcuffs and led him through the streets of Galverston on mounted horses. All as though they were slave masters, and he were their slave.

A 12-year-old Black child playing with a toy gun in a Cleveland park was shot and killed by police, but White men wearing masks and camouflage gear can carry AK 47s into the state capitol building in Kentucky, no problem.

What the police appeared to be focused on was the spraying of the anarchist symbol on the driveway of the residence by one person. That was the extent of the property damage. That was the extent of the activity that could possibly be construed as unlawful.

All three cops resigned from the Stoughton PD after Sandra's death. The Internal Affairs Report recommends they be decertified, meaning they couldn't be rehired as cops in MA. Criminal charges are up to the DA.

So the department will investigate that part. But there is no minimum age for arrest in Florida. In 2014/2015, 80 children under 9 were arrested in the state. In 2010, a 4-year-old was arrested with other children for breaking a padlock on a shed and vandalizing property.

This young man is clearly terrified, because he is being held at gunpoint by a cop (who doesn't even identify as a cop). Like anyone would be. But he is fully cooperative. He doesn't do anything that would have needed more than one cop to calmly arrest him.

There were two police shootings of Black men this weekend where the police shot the victims in the back multiple times, at point blank range, as they were walking away from them. One of the men, Jacob Blake, is still fighting for his life. The other, Trayford Pellerin, is dead.

It's so horrific and it is just a very small part of the reality of what Black and Brown children experience every day in this country's criminal legal system. It's why we can't stop paying attention, even when these stories don't make the news.

Prosecutors knew Randy Volar was raping Black girls as young as 12. In fact, they charged him with child sexual assault. But he was released without bail. 3 months later, one of the girls he raped, Chrystul Kizer, killed him. Now she's charged with murder.

He was sexually abusing underage girls. Then, police said, one of them killed him.

Now Chrystul Kizer, who was 16 when she met Randy Volar, is accused of murdering her alleged sex trafficker. She faces life in prison.

The child was not charged with marijuana possession. Just resisting arrest. He has a serious heart condition and this sort of brutal assault could have had fatal consequences. He is still suffering chest pain.

Cops in unmarked cars grabbed a group of Black children trick or treating in an affluent Brooklyn neighborhood, lined them up against a wall, searched them, handcuffed them, then took them to a police precinct, where they were released without charges.

The prosecutor in Paul Manafort's case recommended a 19 to 25 year prison sentence. Judge Ellis just sentenced him to under 4 years. Judges almost never sentence my clients to less prison time than prosecutors recommend. Compassion is a quality shown only to some.

Every time you read an article about a child being arrested, know it has happened so many other times and just not been reported. Maybe the child was in foster care, or the family didn't have the resources to contact the media, or didn't speak English.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg has had one Black law clerk in her entire 25 years on the Supreme Court (none as a federal court judge), was best friends with Justice Anton Scalia and today ruled that asylum seekers should be denied due process. This is your 👑?

Justice Ginsburg is an essential voice on the Supreme Court— but portraying her as a dissenter obscures the work of more radical women of color.

This is not surprising because we already know that coroners and medical examiners - who work more closely with police departments than even prosecutors - undercount police killings by more than 50%.
