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!
