Keep Lavish Diamond Reynolds, her child and the entire Castile-extended family in your prayers today. Lavish is said to have finally been released from police custody. Now she must begin to work to rebuild her and her child’s life, after witnessing and documenting Philando Castile’s execution by Minnesota police. We uplift their courage, and mourn for a loss no one should have to face. #farfromover

Guys please reblog this. The death of black women must be mourned too.

Not even just Black women, she was a Black girl. This just..I’m tired.

Repeatedly showing footage of black people being murdered on tv and on the front pages of magazines is a method to desensitize society so that when these murders keep happening, the response is “Honey, did you pick up the milk? Oh by the way another black died” rather than outrage. They rerun these stories with the extra shock factor so eventually it becomes normalized and they don’t have to feel bad because “it happens all the time right?” They do not nor will they ever care about the psychological affects caused by seeing black body after black body after black body laying in a pool of blood splashed on the news because it’s not them. It’s getting exhausting having to reiterate this after another black person was murdered by police, even more exhausting that we keep being murdered. With that being said, please if you have any sympathy, any humanity, any sense of respect, stop posting/reblogging videos and photos of murdered black bodies. Please.

The police shooting victim memorized the names of 500 students and their food allergies

“Castile, who was known by friends as Phil, was a cafeteria supervisor at J.J. Hill Montessori Magnet School in Saint Paul, Minn., where he memorized the names of the 500 children he served every day — along with their food allergies, his former coworker said.

“He remembered their names. He remembered who couldn’t have milk. He knew what they could have to eat and what they couldn’t,” Joan Edman, a recently retired paraprofessional at the school, told TIME.

Parents, several of whom rallied for justice outside the tight-knit school Thursday, said they felt safe knowing Castile was in charge of their children’s food and said Castile transformed the cafeteria into a positive and cheerful space. “He was a fixture. I was always happy to see him around school. The cafeteria was a pretty happy place. He was part of the community and an important one,” Andrew Karre, whose 8-year-old son attends J.J. Hill, told TIME.”

A whole community is mourning after losing such an important, compassionate person. Rest in Power, Philando Castile.
