No one is talking about this, but I think it’s because no one knows about it

Genesis Hicks was a young black man who lived in north texas. While unarmed and running away from the cops, they tased him and let him fall and caused him to die by not caring for his body after being tased. When you cause someone to fall down, you have to be careful that they do not fall and harm their body in the fall. Not taking care of him so that he wouldn’t hit his head is a horrible idea and lead to him being in a coma for 2 weeks and then dying.
I don’t know much about Genesis Hicks’s life before his death, but I do know he was young and scared. He was running away for using a fake ID to purchase a car. There was no reason for the police to think he was violent and they knew he was unarmed before causing him to die.
The Frisco police should apologize, charge those involved with his death, and work with local groups to find better ways of running their department for future cases. This should never happen again.
I know those of you seeing this probably care a lot for black people and for those in our country who are being hurt by the police. If you feel inclined, please share Genesis’s story and urge others to care about his life and the inhumane death he suffered.
If you want to express sympathy or buy flowers in Genesis’s memory this is the place for that:
i don’t remember where i saw it. but i forever owe the person who posted encouraging people to watch letterkenny. you have given me wayne and that is more than i ever could’ve asked for. everything i didn’t know i wanted. i hope ur having a good life <3
it's not glamorous, but it's also not honest work, and nobody needs to do it
"Heard you were looking for me."
"Jesus fucking— I thought you weren't trying to kill me anymore!"
It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.
reblogging this because i have to come back to it i don’t even know this game and im crying
fun fact about me! I have hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (hPOTS). this means I am prone to fainting when I change positions or when I feel a strong surge of emotion, positive or negative. for me, laughing is my worst non-postural trigger.
this is a clip from playing lethal company with friends a few months ago. you can hear the eerie silence of presyncope at 0:19, and the sound at 0:23 is my face hitting the keyboard lmao. I played this for my mother and she literally pissed herself laughing and DEMANDED I show every single person I know (including my doctors, who thought it was funny to see and surprisingly helpful, especially for being audio only).
how men in huge pickup trucks look at you thru their windshield when they just almost hit you point blank at an intersection where you had indisputable right of way
being raised conservative is so funny to look back on. like it’s not but the arguments they made are and finding the holes in them is great. like my old pastor used to talk ab how gay people got divorced more- i guess encouraging ppl to divorce their partners (unbiblical) or to continue being gay w their partners (unbiblical). like dude if u think about that for more than 10 seconds ur gonna shit urself realizing by your own standards you are encouraging people to “sin” either way and both are considered taboo sins within the church. the bible belt is so fucking stupid everything is like this down here
