STOP posting that image. It is a modern day equivalent of the souvenir lynching postcards racist mobs sold & shared like baseball trading cards in the 1900s. Using this traumatic image does not stop police violence; it commemorates and further perpetuates it. STOP

Do you really have to use this picture? Do we really have to see a black man being killed by the police as illustration for an article? Do you absolutely need to put this under our nose every single day without a care for the trauma it causes? Fucking hell.

I get extremely pissed every time I see that picture! HIS FUCKING HAND IN HIS POCKET AS HE CASUALLY MURDERS A MAN! LineOfDuty PoliceBrutality DefundThePolice ChauvinTrial

If you’re complaining about this image being circulated, you’re part of the problem.
