Killed by Cops

For those interested who follow/use Twitter, Facebook, (or wish to receive emails) ...

http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/killedbycops_stw?source=killedbycops_home

@KilledByCops will tweet instances of people killed by law enforcement in recent years -- calling attention to the lack of a comprehensive, publicly-accessible, national database that tracks these incidents. If enough people follow and interact with @KilledByCops, we can keep the national spotlight on the crisis of police violence, and increase the pressure on federal officials to take action.

....

about once an hour an incidence is posted ... I've following for a bit ... haven't seen any repeats ... its soul-breaking, but ... it must be faced.
