It seems like between the pandemic and racist cops, the world is trying to see how far it can stretch me before I snap. Over 100,000 dead from COVID19 in the US alone! That number is mind boggling. I can't wrap my head around it. Neither can I wrap my head around the videos I've seen of cops manhandling black men. I keep thinking of George Floyd, of him shouting, I can't breathe, shouting that he hurt all over, begging for water, murdered by the same people who should have kept him safe. Whatever he did, his life wasn't the cops to take.
I keep thinking of the 21 year old man crying , begging cops with drawn guns to please put thier guns away because he was scared. I keep hearing the voice of a woman, scared for him, shouting , "He's 21! We are black, we get killed!" I keep replaying the image of his white haired grandma coming out and allegedly being pushed down by the cops who have no respect, no respect, no respect. To live in a country where one feels that one skin color makes them a target for the police, a country where guns are drawn as easily as if they were pens. My heart is heavy tonight. May tomorrow be better
