(Reuters) - Luke Stewart was sleeping in his car in Euclid, Ohio, when police came upon him. Moments later, he lay dying from gunshot wounds to his chest and neck.
Clayton Dobbins looked suspicious to the Irving, Texas, officer who saw him riding his bike in his own neighborhood. He was chased down, shocked with a Taser and jailed.
Shase Howse raised cops suspicions by fumbling for his keys while standing on his front porch in Cleveland. He was slammed to the ground, handcuffed and jailed.
None of these three men were breaking the law when they drew the attention of police. None were armed. All were black.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Dozens of protesters raised Subway sandwiches overhead this weekend in front of the Ohio Statehouse steps, in a symbolic gesture to the memory of a man whose life relatives say ended with unjust violence.
Protests descended on this state capital s downtown following the fatal shooting of Casey Goodson Jr., a 23-year-old Black man whose relatives say he was entering his grandmother s home carrying Subway sandwiches when a sheriff s deputy shot him on Dec. 4. The deputy s lawyer said Goodson pointed a gun at the officer.
