SHould police unions across the country offer a "few minutes of silence for Philando Castile" as well.

If so, I'm all for it

but I do know that they don't need advice from people outside of the movement. Jesse Williams said it best:

If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest, if you have no interest in equal rights for black people then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.
