Black women continue getting killed by police — so, why aren’t more people discussing it? 

Natasha McKenna (bottom right), an inmate in Fairfax County, Virginia, was tasered to death in February. The event was the result of officers’ attempts to subdue her while she experienced a psychotic episode, according to the Washington Post. McKenna, who stood at 5 feet 3 inches and weighed 130 pounds, was reportedly diagnosed as having both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Her death and those of other black women at the hands of police deserve our attention.

HER DEATH AND THOSE OF OTHER BLACK WOMEN AT THE HANDS OF POLICE DESERVE OUR ATTENTION!!
