What do we want? Reverse the legal policy of “qualified immunity” that almost guarantees police officers won’t be prosecuted for their brutality. The law was sanctioned by the Supreme Court in the 1980’s

American History: After emancipation, Reconstruction afforded Blacks the opportunity to thrive in government. 1866 in New Orleans 44 Blacks were massacred,as they gathered to organize to vote, by white supremacists and the police force. A union that still exists to this day

America knows exactly why the racial police brutality happens and continues. It’s the complicity of feigned ignorance by the White liberals and the “dog whistle” rhetoric that incites racist ideology on the right, especially by President Trump.

....Americans believing it is a sign of weakness and not loving America if you wear a mask and practice social distancing. Nearly 30 million unemployed Americans; 70% unemployment in the indiginous community; approaching 30% unemployment among African Americans......

America must end injustice and inequality must end or things will fall apart. Riots in Minneapolis and Louisville, protests in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco; 100,000 dead from a pandemic that disproportionately impacts Black, Brown and Poor people......

I'm struggling to communicate the degree of my despair about the murder of Mr. George Floyd. Sending my deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to his family. We must refuse to tolerate such a blatant disregard for human life.
