I could have been George Floyd –

Wakanda News Details

I could have been George Floyd –

I shudder with each death of a Black man killed by a police officer.

The young White police officer screamed and pointed his pistol in my face while my hands were on the steering wheel.

“The death of Mr. Floyd is deeply disturbing and should be of concern to all Americans,” said the head of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo to The Washington Post.

“The officers’ actions are inconsistent with the training and protocols of our profession and MCCA commends Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo for his swift and decisive action to terminate the employment of the officers involved.”

We have seen this movie before: Eric Garner in New York, Walter Scott in South Carolina, Oscar Grant in North Carolina, Amadou Diallo in New York; Manuel Loggins Jr., Ronald Madison, Sean Bell, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling and others.
