We are ALL accountable & we shouldn't have to revisit tragedies like George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery time & time again. Enough is enough.

"Looting and violence distract from the strength of our collective voice. To assuage this death and begin the community's healing, city and police leaders need to look at the culture they've created and ask the hard questions". Part of a statement from George Floyd's family. https://t.co/ns0srlerqR

A officer should protect and serve the community, not brutalize, and kill innocent lives. I am encouraging everyone to speak up, so your voice is heard! #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

We're taught to look up to police officers and that they're our hero's I remember in elementary school officers came up to the school and showed us their badges and cars it was the coolest thing ever.But whose suppose to protect us when the hero's are acting like the villains...
