don’t let anyone tell you
Don't let anyone tell you that the police murder of Ma'Khia Bryant was "justified."™
Don't let anyone tell you that the police have to make "split second decisions"© to "protect the public and themselves."©
Don't let nobody tell you that "the cops had no choice. "®
Don't let them tell you that because police have demonstrated time and time again that they are capable of de-escalating, patiently assessing the scene, and disarming armed white men without having to draw their weapons, much less murder them.
A few days ago, they were able to preserve the life of Luke Alvin Oeltjenbruns, who trapped one officer's arm in the window of his vehicle, sped off, with the officer still stuck to the vehicle, at 40 miles per hour. And then, when the officer attempted to free himself from the window by using his rescue hammer, Good Ol' Luke grabbed the hammer out of the officer's hand and began to bash the shit out of the officer's head.

They were able to calmly apprehend Kyle Rittenhouse, who had just murdered two people and was armed with assault weapons. Some cops actually donated to his Go Fund Me.

Police officers did everything they could not to shoot Jared Steven Leone, who walked into a city hall, grabbed a police officer's gun, tried to kill the cop, got a shot off, missed, and was then subdued and taken into custody alive and well.

ANYONE who tries to tell you that those cops had a right to murder Ma'Khia Bryant has revealed themselves to you as your enemy. 
Listen to me when I tell you, my people: FAIL TO TRUST ANYBODY--EVEN IF YOU ARE RELATED TO THEM--WHO TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT WHAT THE COPS DID TO MA'KHIA BRYANT WAS JUSTIFIED.
Those people, no matter who they are, have marked themselves with the signs of beasts by their own tongues. They are part of the attempt to not only physically erase Blackness from the face of existence, but to rupture us psychologically before they do. Their inability to recognize Ma'Khia's humanity, her 16-years-oldness, her still-playing-with-her-baby-hair-in-YouTube-videosasity reveals them as blood enemies of Blackness.
 Exercise EXTREME caution.
Remove yourself from their presence if you can.
Defend yourself if you are able
.ADDENDUM: A lot of people are coming at this from: "If I was the cop, I woulda had no choice but to shoot" perspective. But you're not a cop.Cops are supposed to have skills and training that make them better adept at non-fatal, de-escalation measures.Yes, she had a knife. Yes, it appeared as though she was going to use it.But did that require killing her? Could she had not been wounded? Taser was malfunctioning? No? Why didn't you use it? Did she keep swinging after the first shot? No. So why were there three more?
Were they not fast enough to get from the car to her?
Wasn't she in a stand your ground jurisdiction? Stand your ground is for white people only then?
If armed murderers are still alive after cop encounters, how is a 15/16-year-old girl with a knife dead?
I've seen high school teachers DE-ESCALATE and DISARM knife-wielding students in situations more tense and threatening than this one.The people justifying this shooting are saying, in essence:"I would have shot her, too."
That is why I say that whoever justifies this is dangerous.
And fam, LOOK:"A police officer told a crowd gathered at the scene where a Black teenage girl was killed by police in Ohio that 'blue lives matter', just moments after the verdict in the George Floyd murder trial was reached."

The manner in which police in Hutchinson, Minnesota responded to a 61-year-old white man who dragged an officer with his vehicle while wielding a hammer has many calling out the inherent hypocrisies of law enforcement at large, particularly in light of the police killing of 20-year-old Black man Daunte Wright, which also occurred in Minnesota.
According to a WCCO report, the incident began at approximately 2 p.m. local time on Wednesday when an employee at a Menards home improvement store was “attacked” by the suspect—later identified as Luke Alvine Oeltjenbruns—with a piece of lumber. Shortly after, the man was seen by a police officer in a nearby Walmart parking lot.
From there, the presumed anti-masker is said to have led an officer on a “slow-speed chase” that came to a close near the Hutchinson Mall. At that point, the officer approached the vehicle before being dragged and struck on the head with a hammer. The man was ultimately placed in custody.
In a press release on Thursday, the McLeod County Sheriff’s Office—who is leading the investigation—offered the following:
“The individual arrested yesterday in the incident involving an assault on a Hutchinson Police Officer is Luke Alvine Oeltjenbruns, age 61, of rural Hutchinson. Oeltjenbruns was booked into the McLeod County Jail on probable cause [of] first degree assault. Additional charges are also being considered and this case remains under investigation. The officer involved was released from the hospital and is currently at home recovering.”

Charges: Luke Oeltjenbruns Dragged Police Officer With Truck, Struck Him With Hammer MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Hutchinson man has been charged for allegedly dragging a police officer with his truck and striking him with a hammer. Luke Alvin Oeltjenbruns, 61, faces one charge of first-degree assault, two charges of second-degree assault, and one charge of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle. According to the criminal complaint, shortly before 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Hutchinson Police Officer Steven Sickmann and another sergeant were dispatched to the Menards on the report of an assault. A store employee said he was working a register when a man – later identified as Oeltjenbruns – approached the checkout without a mask. The employee told him he could not check out without putting on a mask, and Oeltjenbruns then struck the employee six or seven times over the head with one of the furring strips in his cart. The employee described Oeltjenbruns as an older white man with a grey beard, baseball hat, dark coat, and jeans. Credit: McLeod County The complaint says another Hutchinson officer found Oeltjenbruns’ truck in a nearby Walmart parking lot while Sickmann and the sergeant were still investigating at Menards. The officer tried to stop the truck and squawked the siren, but the truck continued to drive. The slow-speed chase continued north, coming to a stop at South Grade Road and Highway 15 south. There, the officer, sergeant, and Sickmann approached the car with their weapons drawn. The complaint says that when the officer told Oeltjenbruns he was at gunpoint, Oeltjenbruns said he “did not care” and said “to shoot him.” He then continued driving, with officers following him. Sickmann blocked the intersection of Highway 15 south and Freemont Ave southeast with his squad car, and the officers surrounded Oeltjenbruns. When told again to get out of the car, Oeltjenbruns said “no” and shook his head. RELATED: Police: Man Drags Hutchinson Officer With Vehicle, Hits Him With Hammer After Face Mask Dispute Sickmann told Oeltjenbruns that he matched the description of an assault suspect at the Menards, but he refused to comply, and officers told him that they would break his window to get him out of the truck. Sickmann then got up on the running board of the driver’s side of the truck and reached in through the window. Oeltjenbruns grabbed Sickmann’s right arm and closed the window on it, then drove the truck into a squad car. Officers tried to block him from fleeing, but he continued to ram into the squads. He eventually came to a stop at the intersection of Highway 15 and South Grade Road, which is when Sickmann was able to retrieve a rescue hammer used for breaking windows. But Oeltjenbruns allegedly took the hammer and struck him on top of the head with it. The complaint says Sickmann was taken to the hospital and received eight metal staples on his head, and had a large abrasion on his right inner arm area from his shoulder to lower arm. According to Hutchinson Police Chief Tom Gifferson, Sickmann had been with the department for 31 years. He is recovering at home. Hutchinson Officer Steve Sickmann (credit: Hutchinson Police) If convicted on all counts, Oeltjenbruns could face up to 42 years in prison. His bail is set at $100,000 cash, or a $500,000 bond.
