Like a lot of you guys, or I watched the videos,and was appalled and completely heartbroken. I was left speechless, excited and numb.
I want my children to grow up knowing that their lives matter. I finish not ever want to fill to teach my son to be scared of the police, and tell him that he has to watch his back because the people we are told to trust - the people who "protect and serve" - may not be protecting and serving him because of the colour of his skin.
The last thing we need is to fuel infuriate with more hate or violence,especially toward the many incredible police officers who risk their lives every single day to protect our families and communities. We must peacefully use the power of our voices and the strength of our numbers to demand changes in the judicial system so that brutality doesn't ever proceed unpunished.
It is our responsibility as Americans and as parents to create a secure future for our children. We must finish something NOW. We must speak up until we are heard and real, effective changes are made.
Alton Sterling, and Philando Castile,Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Eric Garner,Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, and Sandra Bland,Sean Bell . . . and unfortunately so many more.
Hashtags are not enough. This must end now."
