Support Tremaine Wilbourn's Family

"This year, police have killed 558 people. 68% of those people were black. Most of them were unarmed. Police brutality and terrorism on the black community remains largely unchecked and less than 1% of those police officers who murder black people without cause are charged with murder or manslaughter."

snip

"These barbaric, unjustified murders of black men, women, and children are supported under the rule of law. We have to step up and support our people like the murderers of these men, women, and children have been supported. Please donate anything you can to support Tremaine's children and his family during this difficult time for them."

Before that he apparently held a woman at gunpoint. Sounds like a prince of a guy.
