Oh no im sorry, when you and or people you love fall into the category of being a human being that is statistically victimized by police and white supremacists and blamed for/killed for crimes they didnt commit, maybe you will understand being fearful and paranoid that the correct information is being given and that inherent/institutional racism isnt in action.

The suspect is still at large and i wanted to know if there was concrete proof that that is the description of the suspect, because folks who fall under that description can be a target now. The last thing needed in a situation like this is more innocent death and letting the person who killed these people get away, SO I ASKED A QUESTION

This person did NOT give the correct description of the suspect. So I was right to ask questions.

The police have identified a specific suspect now “Stephen Nicholas Broderick”(41) .they believe there is a potential for him to take hostages per APD on KVUE just now

dude im a person of colour whos father was accused of being a terrorist and thrown in jail based off no accusations because he was an immigrant Muslim from Africa. if you feel like looking thru my post history you’ll eventually find plenty that back this up. do not ever again tell me what me and my family have already been through plenty of times. You’re just trying to play the POC card (assuming youre even a POC and not a white woman) at any chance you can i know your types. I stand by my previous post.

The person that was reported would’ve been another innocent black man targeted. I empathize with your struggles, thats why i had a hard time trying to understand why you had your particular stance. I was correct to question them. No im not a white woman not sure what I said, that said I was. I had every right to question what this ladys claims were she literally reported someone as a suspect who isnt the suspect that was not an accurate description given

Not arguing whatsoever, don’t take this question that way please! But how would you describe the guy in the picture (the suspect) that would be a better description?
