In Memory VI
Arrests or shootings for minor transgressions
Too many deaths of unarmed citizens
In a culture that tolerates an acceptable use of force
Their deaths are unacceptable
Some deaths are reported
Trayvon Martin, Sanford, Florida, age 17
Eric Garner, Staten Island, New York, age 44
Michael Brown, Ferguson, Missouri, age 28
Tamir Rice, Cleveland, Ohio, age 12
Freddie Gray, Baltimore, Maryland, age 25
Sandra Bland, Waller County, Texas, age 28
Samuel Dubose, Cincinnati, Ohio, age 45
How many are not
All have families who loved and now mourn their death
Honor their memory and put an end to violence
