White officers fatally shot pregnant black woman

[Deleted]

She called and reported a burglary. She was 30 and pregnant with her fifth child. She had a history of mental illness. Officers were white and are now on administrative leave. Her name is Charleena Lyles.


So just don't be low income, don't be black, don't be a black woman, don't be mentally ill, and especially don't be a mentally ill, low income, black woman. Oh, and don't ever call the police thinking they'll actually help. Those poor babies.

I wonder if Congress will denounce her death as they did for the colleague.

If a dumb motherfucker tries to waltz in here with, "But not, Seattle! Seattle is so Liberal and Progressive," they will feel my wrath.

I straight up don't trust white people and seriously do not consider my husband white.  I may need professional help because I am so fucking angry.

Heartbreaking and infuriating.

We as a society are so horrible.

It's a fucking genocide and I don't know how people can't see it and live with themselves.

[followyourarrow]

WTF. Those poor kids. This is so sad and fucked up.

[thatgirl2478]

that's awful. i really hope justice is served for this family.

[Deleted]

Well, all signs of history and shit point to the family won't get justice and it's so incredibly fucked. Seattle is gonna pull some feel good "listening and learning" shit and that'll be that. Fuck it all.

That poor woman and her kids. It's all so heartbreaking and infuriating.

[lilac05]

Those poor babies. The poor woman.

All outrage is justified. Murderers. I just can't see how there's any argument for it being any other way. This world is so broken.

Administrative Leave?!?! This HAS to stop. In no other field can you make such an egregious error (even though I think few of these situations are actually "errors" and many are straight up violent murders) and keep your job in ANY way, shape, or form. You'd be fired immediately.

Four children lost their mother. Jesus fucking Christ. This is vile.

[raangoli]

That poor woman and her children. And I'm sure that nothing will come of this because why would it?

[honeychai]

Omg.
How devastating.

[jeaniebueller]

Terrible and heartbreaking

[jlt19]

THEY SHOT HER BECAUSE SHE SHOWED A KNIFE? IN FRONT OF HER KIDS?

ETA: I wasn't done yelling and it posted.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK? WERE THEY AFRAID SHE WAS GOING TO THROW IT AT THEM?

[Eagles]

Jesus fucking Christ.

[themysteriouswife]

i won't even pretend I understand. This is horrible.

[katfco]

They knew she had a history of mental illness, too.

[SKP82]

Oh my god. This is so fucked up.

[Deleted]

Absolutely horrible. I'm so fucking angry. Four kids lost their mother, and those cops will probably just get to go free.

[icedcoffee]

WTF this is awful.

[cuddlyevil]

I don't have any words. This is horrible. Those poor kids.

[greenlight]

This is heartbreaking. That poor family.

[jane6672]

Damn them.

[vicky]

Omg no
