The cop raised his weapon shouting, “Forty millimeter up! Curfew! YOU WILL BE FIRED UPON.” A .40 is the standard caliber bullet used by the Los Angeles police; it was specially designed for human kill. gregpalast.com/lapd-you-will-… #FloydGeorge #FloydGeorgeProtests #BlackLivesMatter

Unable to move
All I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

Filming me,clicking pictures
And all I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

The officer still made no
move of his leg on my neck
Slammed to the ground,
Blood from my nose
And all I could do was
whisper: "I cant breathe"
Was it cause I wrote a bad check
Or was it cause of my race?

...in electing city council members and DAs who have oversight on the local police. This powerful role via endorsements, donations, and volunteer labor, often leads to less training and oversight than needed... /2
...to ensure the police conduct their duties in a professional manner, respectful of everyone's rights. The idea of government unions needs to be revisited, especially for law enforcement - that's the whole point of civil service protections. /3
