Over a week ago, a man named George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minnesota.
The police officer held the handcuffed man face down on the ground with his knee anchoring his neck. He never let off the pressure.
The man pleaded for breath.
The man called for his mama.
The man died of asphyxiation after 9 minutes under that knee.
The horror of this situation is unspeakable.
The country has been protesting and rioting for days. I am with them. 100%. I understand. I am so angry. I am so heartbroken. I am so disturbed by the persistant and life threatening affects of racial injustice. I have no words to describe the outrage I feel about our president. If there is nothing else good that comes out of this unbelievable murder, I hope it is that it activates people to vote. It is our repsonsiblity to speak up - speak out - and VOTE.
