#DominiqueMulkey was hungry. He went to Dollar General, filled a large plastic bag with snack food, and left. Then, Tampa PD murdered him.
His family needs $4,490 to bury their son.

Not only did Tampa Police Department murder #DominiqueMulkey, they ALSO virtually slapped the Mulkey family with a $7,000 funeral bill.
We may not be able to help them with their emotional burden, but we can help ease their financial burden. https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeral-care-for-the-mulkey-family

It literally does not matter that Dominique had a gun or that he robbed a Dollar General before he was executed by Tampa Police Department.
The saying is not, “Black lives [**that I find respectable**] matter”.
Black lives MATTER. #DominiqueMulkey

If you believe #DominiqueMulkey deserves less sympathy because he had a gun, you are complicit. You allow this to happen.

“’He was no angel’”: the argument is a scam. If the murder of a Black person can be forgiven because that person was no angel, then all murders of Black people can be forgiven.”

Did you know that #DominiqueMulkey was partially deaf, which is why he didn’t put down his gun? Did you know that Dominique was mentally ill?
Did you also know that his extenuating circumstances don’t even matter? Why is a state murdering its citizens?

So-called “crime” like robbery only exists when people do not have their basic needs met in a system that requires poverty to exist.
It's not a sign of a "broken" system; the system is working exactly as designed.

What reason would someone be so desperate as to rob a dollar store with a gun, other than the fact that their basic needs were not being met?
I’d love for someone to give me examples of rich people robbing convenience stores to steal snack food. **cue crickets**

Please consider donating to help cover the costs of Dominique's funeral. The Mulkey family has a long road ahead of them.
I'm also concerned that the Mulkey family will have even less support because to many people, Dominique's murder is seen as justifiable.

There are already fascists mocking Dominique's murder in this thread.

If you have mutuals that you think would RT if you asked (esp. those with large followings), would you be able to either tag/message them and ask them to RT?

More context:
The Tampa mayor and members of city council are former cops.
They passed a city budget that INCREASED police budget by $13 MILLION after ppl asked for $ for housing, childcare, healthcare & an emergency response team like CAHOOTS.
Btw they’re ALL Democrats https://twitter.com/samlshep/status/1318712797681823745
