Anyone who wasn't upset about this before, place kindly upset yourselves? Surrounding a man and his date in a nice neighborhood with unmarked vehicles in plainclothes and opening fire is not 'keeping the peace'. It's a execution without due process. This. is. not. okay.

For folks who don't live here, this happened in uptown, a predominantly white, kinda yuppie area. Winston Smith and his date were probably one of two black couples their server saw the whole night. They likely paid $75-150 for a nice date together, and had only been dating for a few weeks. Uptown is a lively, bustling area. It's a place where people want to be, at least a little bit. And this.. It just seems like they were killed in cold blood for being black and parking in the yuppiest parking ramp in town for a nice date night. This is egregious. Our police department would never do this to a white couple. Small, incremental reforms just can't unseat this kind of stark racism. There needs to be a fundamental change in how the department functions.
