Not only are black people presumed guilty.
We are presumed worthy of EXECUTION until proven otherwise

Prove he deserved to live.

Some days, it’s too much. Parents, children, families are being killed everyday. Some days, it’s too much
You try to remember a time when the name of a dead black person and a cop wasn’t in your head. A new name arrives. A new cop arrives.

Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025You look across the office at black coworker sitting at her desk. You wonder if she knows the name of this dead black person and this cop.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025****
You want to ask her but you’re so tired and she’s so far away — and there are the names of all these dead black people and cops between you.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025You consider getting the names of this dead black person and that dead black person and that dead black person tattooed on your body.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025****
But there will always be more names of dead black people and cops. And you only have so much body, so much black skin.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025Your white coworkers will read your tweets about dead black people and cops and waver, unsure of what to say. They check their scripts.

Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025You wonder if America will ever need to learn your name, your son’s name, your sister’s name. You wonder if #YourName will trend.

You want to be parent one day but not in this America.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025White people who didn’t know your name until they saw your tweet just now tweet you about cops defending themselves against thugs.

Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025****
You turn into fog for a moment and no one even notices.
—
Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 12, 2025You ask no one and everyone “At this point, what black person wouldn’t run from a cop pointing a gun at them?”

formula for a no-indict announcement
1) late start
2) irrelevant rambling
3) victim smearing
4) announcement

Hmmm... (@AmandaMichelle) May 12, 2025This DA could've released a statement, instead he chose to smear #TonyRobinson in a press conference.
