And then, in 2019, we found a serving police officer who gave us a disturbing eyewitness account of what happens inside one SARS station. For his own safety, we’ve hidden his identity. 🔊 [sound on]

Torture, extortion, corruption, intimidation and extra-judicial killings are the hallmark of #SARS operations. Dear @MBuhari, a presidential order from you will shutdown this rogue @PoliceNG squad and reduce its menace on well meaning Nigerians. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality

Morgan Ottley, the president of @PittBAS, said Pitt should be “ashamed” that low Black student enrollment is still an issue on campus. The percentage of undergraduate students who identify as Black is near a 40-year low. pittnews.com/article/159455/…

Let’s not forget LaVena Johnson. She was found dead in her tent in Iraq in 2005. She had a broken nose, loose teeth, burns from chemicals on her private areas to cover evidence of rape, black eye and a gunshot wound. The goverment ruled her death as a “suicide”. She was only 19💔
