When the law murders you over and over again, there is no law, no community, no home, no country.

I posted a few weeks ago about how I was amazed how black Americans were so forgiving, how they controlled their tempers. We have watched for years black people being murdered on video. How many were murdered that were not caught on video?

This murder forced a breaking point. I completely understand the anger, the violence, the fires, all of it.

In America, just waking up in the morning can be a death sentence for an African America. Driving a car, a death sentence. Sitting at home, a death sentence. Going for a walk, a run, a death sentence.
