    Fuck, that was so brutal. Even given what I’ve learned about cops over the years, this case is particularly egregious, that poor fucking kid was murdered by pigs and paramedics with fucking ketamine of all things.

      Everything about that case was horrifying, from the Koncerned Karen that called the police because he was being too Black on the street to the fact authorities tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug. The cops responsible even went to do selfies mocking Elijah on the anniversary of his death and a violin vigil was disbanded as if it were a looter mob after an earthquake.

      And this to a human being that played the violin for shelter cats because they seemed to enjoy it. Elijah’s soul was so beautiful, it breaks my heart that he’s gone.
