It's called Facebook.

This comes from Chris Rock, but it's sadly not just a joke.

I am incredibly troubled by how many white people seem willing to excuse any killing at all in any circumstances of a person of color by police. There is always a "reasonable explanation" - even when video proves there isn't.

We need some huge changes in this country. I keep thinking, "This will be what wakes people up." Incident after incident. But it seems like things are getting worse, not better.
