When we, the white mob, celebrate the actions of police that leave a person of color dead without the benefit of due process, we participate with the mob in Jerusalem on Good Friday as we cry, "Crucify Him!" 🧵

When we defend the actions of the officer and place the blame on the victim, saying, "He should have obeyed the orders of the police," we join with the high priests, saying, "We have no King but Caesar!" 🧵
When we, despite all evidence to the contrary, defend excessive force as justified, we join with the crowd and say, "Let his blood be on us and on our children."
White supremacy is alive and well today. And every time we allow it to rear its head, we recrucify the innocent Christ.
