- Former police and Army officer in Allen, Texas: “It could be you. It could be your family member. I never imagined it would be me. I never imagined it would happen in my community, but it did and we have got to stop this type of carnage.” #TXlegeWATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

00:00 - I’m so tired of this! This is one of my greatest anxieties as a mom raising Black children. In this country—my children are forced to contend with that fact that they are targets. There are no guarantees for they’re safety when they walk out the door. #RalphYarlBlack boys aren’t stereotypes shrink-wrapped in white fear, they’re just kids to be loved. #RalphYarl
