How do I tell my young daughters to go to a police officer if they get lost or are scared when one of them brutally murders a young woman walking home alone then do this to other women at a peaceful vigil? Metropolitan Police #ShameOnYou #ReclaimTheseStreets

What should we do, who should we call upon, when the police become the enablers and propagators of violence against womxn? #ShameOnYou
