We’re not here for the comfort of those who are more interested in tone-policing instead of working to fight injustice. We will continue to speak truth to power and against injustice loudly, firmly, and clearly and need neither their permission nor their approval to do so. pic.twitter.com/DTqKKZfpej

Police departments need not just hostage negotiators but specialists in defusing domestic crises (if not on police payrolls, on call 24/7). Also, police academies need instruction in handling the above with ethnic/racial sensitivity (and I don’t mean an online slideshow with a multiple choice quiz at the end). In the meantime, keep roaring.
