Police murders of unarmed, running away, even sleeping and/or underage black boys and men in the US can be understood as the continuation of this form of racist terrorism. The analogy to the stalking, rape and murder of women is obvious. It’s a pattern of crimes against individual women that has the effect of oppressing and controlling the conduct of us all through fear.
