After police fatally shot Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La. on Tuesday, Joyce King wrote a powerful Dallas Morning News op-ed with the headline "Again, a black man is killed by police; again, again, again." Less than 24 hours later, tragically, we must add yet another "again."
Last night, a police officer killed Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minn. After pulling Castile's vehicle over for a broken tail light, an officer ended up shooting the 32-year-old black driver. Also in the car were Castile's girlfriend, Diamond "Lavish" Reynolds, and her 4-year-old daughter. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
