There seems to be some misinformation on tumblr, mixing up two different cases of police violence this week and saying an off-duty cop was killed while grabbing an inhaler. To clarify:

Omar Edwards was a black off-duty cop who was assisting in a chase of a car thief and was fatally shot by a white cop on the same chase

Brian Dennison was trying to help his daughter in the middle of an asthma attack when he was shot at by police. He was unharmed.

Please boost this so people understand that these are two separate stories.

faineemae are you gonna take some responsibility for this colossal mixup and the gross spread of blatant misinformation or nah
