I CAN'T BREATHE...JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD

It was a brutal event to witness, and now we all have. Watching that video on CNN from Minneapolis made me physically sick, and reveals all you need to know about 'murderous intent'...the way Derek Chauvin was deaf to George Floyd's final pleas of "I can't breathe," and calling for his mother, and Chauvin leaning into the pressure on George's neck, with his hands in his pockets. For 9 minutes of cold-blooded calculation. A white man blatantly executing / lynching an innocent black man in front of the public, again, and not in any self-defense, he had 3 other cowards 'keeping his six,' looking out for witnesses.

In any and all organizations, the executive leadership always sets out the company philosophies, establishes the protocols which are sent as guidance down the web-lines of social and business structure, as to the accepted behavior to follow. And then consider POTUS 45 quoting a racist cop from 50 or so years ago...and the last 3 years of America being plunged into a dark age where ethics and  human compassion have become debased.

Masks are off and the racists are driving the country. Now, what is everyone with a human conscience going to do about all of this? There is humanistic legislation, 3rd party watch-dogs, and community-building that truly needs action. NOW.

I am just expressing myself, and anyone with a heart must be outraged by George Floyd's execution and his reflection in the oppression of all people. All of us, together. It is unbelievable that black people in 2020, are still being hunted in the city streets, not just by predator police, but also by deranged hicks without a lick of kindness between their eyes.

The North American system needs safeguarding versus institutionalized racism. I am terribly worried for all the protesters out there. Rubber bullets being fired in Los Angeles. This is serious.

So proud of Los Angeles! The protesters were not rioting, and despite police aggression, only targeted police cars for damage...sending a very clear message to the club that has failed us all. No looting, no property damage...appears their protest marchers have learned from Ground Zero in Minneapolis...just the police trying to battle and push people out of peaceful assembly and protest.

To quote the Minneapolis Governor, "The world should wage war against racism."
