If Black Lives Don't Matter - no Lives Matter


"Please. Please. I can't breathe, officer. I cannot breathe," Floyd gasped while handcuffed. Onlookers demanded Chauvin relent, but he continued to drive his knee into Floyd's neck. A devastating, 10-minute video recorded this slow-motion murder, breath by ebbing breath. Finally, Floyd's limp body is roughly rolled onto a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead." Rabble.ca 

What kind of society produces a man who cannot feel the suffering of another while his knee is on their neck until his victim dies?

It's up to humans who care, who cry, and who have not been so traumatized they no longer know what or why they do what they do, to fix it.

It's called conscience and we must honour it until we become human again or we bleed trying.
