I can't cope with constantly watching unarmed black men being murdered by police.

CNN and MSNBC play these videos every hour, and I've started changing the channel when they do. It's just all so horrifying and evil.

1. It is evil and horrible but evil must be exposed. Now that video cameras are...

everywhere, on buildings and in everyone's hands, we now see what's been going on for centuries with killer cops, dating back to their origins as slave patrolers.

We can't hide it. We can't be like the GOP who are even trying to stop the teaching of the 1619 Project, and even of slavery in the schools. They're trying to hide the evil that has been done to Black people and other POCs.

2. It is horrific; I can only hope

those responsible are publicly punished; that will help in hopefully stopping the brutality.
I wish we still had 'an eye for an eye'...that would stop it faster.

3. Arkansas executed an innocent black man

And we just sort of accepted it

4. Now imagine you are black.

The entire black community in this country is so traumatized, I'm surprised any can get out of bed.

I agree, the horror is so in your face. It reminds me of Vietnam and the war brought to the dinner table nightly. This is the only way our society can stop this madness. If we don't know it exists, we can't stop it.

5. I agree,,,,

6. This plus reading the racism faced by Michelle Obama

Seriously this is institutional racism, plain and simple. Green's murder was as offensive as Floyds but this coverup is even worse.
