#Facts Barley see Any #NewsCoverage on how #Minorities feel about #Situations like this 😢 #BlackStudents from #MarjoryStonemanDouglasHighSchool, the site of the #Parkland , #Florida #schoolshooting , gathered this week to ask the #media and #policymakers to consider not just the voices of their #whiteclassmates , but their #voices , too, the #MiamiHerald #reports . 3,000 students attend Stoneman Douglas; 11 percent of those students are black. "I am here today with my #classmates because we have been thoroughly #underrepresented and in some cases, #misrepresented ," black student #Tyah-AmoRoberts said at the #pressconference , #CBS12 reports. Fellow student #KaiKoerber said that one way the black students had been left out was in discussions about increasing the #policepresence at the school. Many of Stoneman Douglas' black student now no longer fear being #shot by a #fellowstudent , but instead by one of their #schoolspoliceofficers “It’s bad enough we have to return with clear backpacks,” Koerber said. “Should we also return with our #handsup ?” #BlackLivesMatter activist #TifannyBurks said that when the #schoolsblackstudents came back for classes and found the #campus full of police, “They were shook. It felt like there was a thousand police there.” Burks added, “Having all those police there made their school feel like a #prison .” "It is estimated that one in three police officers suffer from undiagnosed Post #Traumaticstressdisorder ," Koerber said. "When #mentallyill #policeofficers are tasked to #safeguard a #traumatizedstudentbody , that becomes a recipe for disaster ― #police need to stand on the perimeters of our #school . Those chosen to work at school should receive #PTSDcounseling and #specialdiversitytraining ." Koerber added that many #minoritystudents #fear that the #newofficers will view them as " #potential criminals .”  #Tyah-Amoy a Marjorie Stoneman Douglas student said conversations about #gunviolence have to include #policeviolence . She asked, the same people who showed up for #MarchForOurLives--will they show up for #StephonClark ? #AltonSterling? #SandraBland
