Justine Damond's killer got 12 1/2 years in prison. Philandro Castile's murderer walked free after having been defended by the same man representing the officer who killed George Floyd.
Buildings can be rebuilt. Target will reopen. George Floyd will never breathe again. Sandra Bland. Tamir Rice. Trayvon Martin. Breonna Taylor. Philandro Castile. Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Ahmaud Aubery. Oscar Grant. Terrence Crutcher. Walter Scott. Samuel Dubois. Sean Reed. Steve Taylor. Terrance Franklin. Ariane Mccree. Stephon Clark. Devon Bailey. Chris Whitefield. Anthony Hall. Michael Dean. Tony McDade.
Maybe if Justine Damond's family and community had felt the crushing weight of systematic discrimination bearing down on them, of the fear for every one of their family members that justice would never come, the knowledge that so many women like her had been murdered on camera and their killers walked free- just maybe they'd have felt like burning something down too.
*edit apparently my autocorrect doesn't know the word "floyd" and it's five in the morning and i've been making croutons for six hours because i'm too stressed and sad and angry to sleep
Justines family respectful allowed the legal system to play out and they won!!!!
How is burning down buildings, throwing rocks and shooting up the streets, stealing, from innocent business owners because you are upset justified?
I agree what happen to Floyd was not justified, from the pieces of video that have been released. Makes me wonder why the lapse in time from the time he was standing at the building in handcuffs till he was on the ground, is not being shown. I wanta see the entire video, the whole story deserves to be total.
Respectfully, George deserves justice, as well as those who are being harmed by the violent protesters.
