earthshakinlove:black-to-the-bones:Charleena Lyles, a 30-year-old pregnant mother, was shot to death by Seattle police with her children – including one with Down syndrome – present in the apartment.She called the police for help, had a knife in her hand to protect herself and her children. Cops saw the knife and immediately shot her to death in front of her children. She was pregnant and was a mother of four already. Needless to say the officers were white.They could use their tasers, they could try to talk to her at least rather than shooting her. Be careful the next time you call the cops for help.RIP Charleena Lyles.God this is absolutely heartbreaking -- source link
