I have never defended a rapist, let alone “voiciferously” and you know it. It’s not defense of a rapist to say there was no good reason to shoot Blake seven times in the back- whatever he did, that was unnecessary, since any of the officers could easily have walked up behind the guy and simply cuffed him.

And I’m white, so neither I nor any other white person has any right to tell black people who they are and are not allowed to categorize as victims of unjust police violence.
