Does it seem like more AA children are being gunned down by police

since President Obama was elected, twice? That's my sense, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention before.

Sadly I think things have improved unless you're one of the kids killed since there is a show of having police answer for their action if the family can put enough pressure on. There's rarely justice but it seems to be getting into our consciousness to wonder does it seem like more black kids are being killed. I am so impressed with these leaders coming up, maybe they can move this country.
