I won't share the horrifying video, but Austin police killed a 17-year-old Black child who called 911 while in distress. Three cops fired more than two dozen rounds, killing him because they thought he had a gun.
It was a water bottle. The child was unarmed.
Austin PD is calling it "suicide by cop." No, it's murder in cold blood by cop. We must fund public safety, not just hire more cops. A mental health professional could have saved his life. The cops have been placed on administrative leave.
