^ It's a disturbing image. Intentionally so, I'm sure. I've seen references to that image and RBG a couple of times recently.
A couple of days ago, I read a story about a white cop in Kansas, Rodney Lee, who was fired because he posted underneath a four year old photo of a black Texas woman's child on Facebook: "We'll see how much her life matters soon.. better be careful leaving your info open where she can be found. Hold her close tonight, it'll be the last time."

The woman had never met Lee and said she had no idea why he posted the terrifying message that kept her up all night. After I later read that she had that image you posted in the comment above as her profile pic, it wasn't a mystery to me how Lee happened to find her page (though it doesn't justify what the cop did and I agree with his firing).
The second reference I saw was shortly after the Dallas mass shooting. According to Dallas PD Chief Brown, the sniper wrote 'RB' in his own blood and may have been attempting to write 'RBG' (Red, Black, Green), which are the colors of the Pan-African / Liberation flag. Chief Brown says that the sniper was blacklisted from many black militant groups because he was 'unstable'.
