I have a test it's kind of a crude test that I've been running for cases of police

brutality for several years now it is something that I never really talk about

out loud.

I mentioned it on an Instagram post this weekend, many of you saw horribly the police shooting death of a young man named Steve Taylor, a beloved son, a beloved father.

And when I watch any case, any instance of police brutality,

I run something that I call the Taylor Swift test and I apologize in advance if she or anybody else finds this test offensive you could actually substitute her out with somebody else. I'll explain it. Just give me a moment. I'll unpack and explain it and I'll try to break down why I run the Taylor Swift test in each case of police brutality.

This is Sean King, and you are listening to

the breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown. The breakdown.

When someone is when someone is shot and killed by police in this country, I normally know about it instant.

Not because I have a six cents, of course.

But the whole world immediately tags me,

text me, dems me, emails me, and comments on every piece of content that I have just so they can try to get my attention.

And it's been this way now for nearly six years,

and I've accepted it as part of my calling in life to not only bear witness to such atrocities,

but to join families and walk with families all over the country in their fight for justice when they've lost

their loved one to police brutality and I've worked with hundreds of families now and

each time I work with a family, I have a basic test that I run of this situation.
