Black man murdered last night by Atlanta Police at a Wendys for running away from them... FUCK!

(updated to indicate the man has died, additional details in a reply downthread)

Last night, detained for unknown reasons, the victim resisted and got loose, was tased but ran, then shots were fired out of frame.

It's just every fucking day, isn't it? If it wasn't for citizens and their phones and Twitter, we wouldn't learn about most of these.

Trump says "Dominate", Miami PD gives it a try. Personally, I'm glad people fight back.

Watch for increasing "dominance" as police either march as in Buffalo, or drive as seen in NYC and here, through crowds of legal peaceful protesters exercising their right to free speech and assemble.

We must overcome, we must no cower to their arbitrary mowing down of legal protesters.

Killology, "Bulletproof Warrior" training, Minneapolis Police Union and other What The Fucks.

“Bulletproof Warrior” training is offered by the "Killology Research Group" to members of police forces and others.

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman conducts trainings and wrote the book, "Are You Prepared to Kill Somebody".

It had been offered to Minneapolis PD until Mayor Frey put an end to that in April 2019.

The Minneapolis Police Union continued to offer it anyway:

Right now: Community organizers registering protesters to VOTE! BRILLIANT!

If DC can do it, maybe organizers in every other community can take advantage of this opportunity!
