I keep hearing #AltonSterling's wife at the press conference. All these Black wives, girlfriends, lovers at podiums, leaning for strength.

I just keep hearing Lavish Reynolds reciting the truth like a prayer, & then praying, & then reciting the truth, hoping one will save him.

Let me never have to be "calm and collected" if the police kill my loved one. My God, these Black women are not made of steel, but flesh.

Let me never have to be consoled BY MY OWN CHILD after she witnesses a murder #PhilandoCastile

"It's okay mommy. It's okay, I'm right here with you" #PhilandoCastile's girlfriend's 4yo daughter said to her mother. & I am broken.

Let me never be treated LIKE A CRIMINAL after cops murder my loved one in front of me #philandoCastile

Let me never have to repeat the circumstances of my love's death over and over as if to convince myself he deserved to live

Let me never have to state my love's innocence in front of an extrajudicial police firing squad

Let me never have to narrate my husband's dying moments, a justification of why he did not deserve summary execution for a minor infraction.
