From a black friend of mine: 

“God I'm tired of hearing about how scared cops are in the face of POC who are in distress with a knife in hand, or at their wit's end with a screwdriver, or just shuffling along with a carving knife, or carrying something that might be dark and oblong, or answering the door of their nice home in their bathrobe, or sitting on a bench with a toy gun, or walking away from a cop that ordered them to stop, or admitting to having a permitted gun concealed, or putting their arms up in the air, or walking down the street black, or driving a car, or standing in place, or shopping in a grocery store, or being at a pool party, or even being handed to their mother – freshly wrapped in a tiny blanket – sucking their first breaths of air.”
