A week ago, in a twisted combination between the murders of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor, Amir Locke was executed where he slept. As a law abiding citizen who had not committed a crime and, thus believed he was in no position to have a warrant executed on his place or his person, he reacted as any legal gun owner would. He did not point his weapon toward officers. He did not shoot at officers. In an attempt to gather himself from his sleep while assessing the situation around him, he was shot and killed by a band of masked white people.
"Driving While Black" has, for years, been associated with why we are stopped by officers. Now we can't sleep while Black? We can't legally carry firearms while Black? Are slave codes back in effect? Let us know because y'all say just follow the law but I'm confused.
And, yes, Black lives matter. The statement. I'm not asking or begging. I'm telling you.
