black-to-the-bones:

The boy, Rashad Wells, of the 6900 block of South Harvard Avenue, was pronounced dead on the scene, his family said that he was shot 12 times and police officers never let them see the body.  

I’m stuck on the fact that it was an off duty officer. And this information about Rashad being shot 12 times is just so crazy. Even though an officer could think this kid was a suspect- how do you shoot someone 12 times without being sure about it? The deputy was not harmed and moreover there was no information about Rashad threatening him in any way, yet we have another dead black teen. 

He was OFF DUTY. He wasn’t working. HE WAS KILLING. This is why “Blue lives” don’t exist. You weren’t “blue” when you clocked out and shot Rashad. Fucking murderer is what he is.
