Words CANNOT EXPRESS how livid this makes me. These words below need to be heard. WE (yes black people) ARE TIRED!
"We are TIRED. We corporate, we die. We run, we die. We fight back, we die. We beg, we die. We lie down, we die. We put our hands up, we die. We mind our business, we die. We’re unarmed, we die. We’re detained, we die. Tell us, what the HELL are we suppose to do to keep the cops from killing us? #icantbreathe #blacklivesmatter #saytheirnames #GeorgeFloyd" - Makail
How do people expect black people to react? Video after video of watching our own people's bodies being dropped, lifeless, and carried away just for being black. I'm 27, and I can barely take it. Think about children in elementary school, middle school, and high school having to live in fear of being killed every day... just for being black. Children LIVE on social media. It's in front of their faces every day right in their phones! You expect parents to be okay with that? Not knowing if their child will come back home safely just for the color of their skin? Year after year of protesting in silence, petitioning, voting, and so much more... and this still happens. How do people expect black people to continue to stay calm and act civilized... WHEN WE AREN'T TREATED AS CIVILIANS OURSELVES!
How the hell are we supposed to not be affected by all this? Are we supposed to act as nothing happened and keep moving forward? No... we've tried that. Should we protest and walk in the streets? Oh... we've tried that too. Let's just talk about it and be civil. Damn... that one has been taken as well. They all ended up with us getting shot.
This is wrong. I feel no remorse for those cops and what they have coming to them. No remorse.
*By the way. For the people that say, "It's not all cops. Not all cops are bad. Not all white people are bad. These are just a few. There are still good cops and good white people out there." OF COURSE! DUH! Clearly, we're not talking about "the good one's". I just don't get it man. For real. Colin Kaepernick takes a knee, doesn't kill anybody... and gets scorned mercilessly for it. This cop takes a knee on a black man's neck, MURDERS HIM, and isn't taken to jail IMMEDIATELY. Just gets fired..... think about that before only focusing on "the good one's".

First yes it was awful what that officer done and what the others didn't do. Even though all that happened there should not have been no riots and other people killed and homes, businesses destroyed over this. Where is the justice for the people that lost everything due to black and white people rioting and looters who stole people's possessions? There is no justice for them bc people don't care bc it was white folks property. Where's the police officer justice who got shot in the head?
