It is hard to believe that police
around the country have not learned anything from all the cases of police
brutality killing black people. George Floyd was chocked to death, as has been
done to other black folks around the country. “I can’t breath” has been uttered
by other black victims, such as Eric Garner. According to Wikipedia:
“On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner died in the
New York City borough of Staten Island after Daniel
Pantaleo, a New York City Police
Department (NYPD) officer, put him in a chokehold while
arresting him.[2] Video footage
of the incident generated widespread national attention and raised questions
about the appropriate use of force by law
enforcement.”
George Floyd death: Protesters
take to the streets in Los Angeles
It is completely understandable that people are outraged
over this police action. Destruction of property is understandable, but stealing
and trying to profit off of this event by looting is not an OK form of protests.
Rebellion is justifiable—theft is not. Protesters should try to demonstrate
some discipline.
Black Lives DO
MATTER!
