Commentary: Black women are the unseen victims of police brutality. Why aren’t we talking about it?

At a WinCo grocery store in a suburb outside of Los Angeles, a Black woman is attacked by police officers for recording them on her cellphone as they held down and handcuffed her husband. A police officer then pulls this unnamed woman by the neck, flings her to the ground and kneels on her in a terrifying scene that has become eerily and tragically familiar: “I can’t breathe,” she said.

We do not know this Black woman’s name. We do know she had no weapons. We know she was not charging toward the police.
