I know and I feel the same way. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I was having trouble remembering which young African-American man was killed where. "Tamir Rice? Was that the kid in Ohio? Or the guy on Staten Island?" It's truly a damn shame.
I have trouble remembering which is which too. When there's so many it's really hard to keep track. Sad reflection on our society, which is gun-loving and still quite racist in many ways.
Ringgenberg said, "He's got my gun," according to Freeman. Schwarze said he dropped his handcuffs, put his gun to the edge of Clark's mouth and warned him to let go or he would shoot. Clark looked at Schwarze and said: "I'm ready to die."
According to Freeman, Schwarze pulled the trigger but the gun didn't fire. Schwarze heard Ringgenberg say "shoot him" in a panicked voice, and Schwarze pulled the trigger again and the gun fired. Clark was shot in the head.
Freeman said the entire incident, in which he said deadly force was necessary, took 61 seconds from the time police first approached Clark.

I feel like this kind of thing happens over and over. It's depressing and disgusting at the same time.

And the GOP solution is more guns.
