Been in Florida for over a month and still haven’t stumbled upon a gator 🤨 I’d like to just gander one from the safety of my car. Just a little look-see.
The officer who killed Rayshard Brooks is out on bond. Breonna Taylor’s killers still haven’t been arrested. The army is covering up the murder of Vanessa Guillen. Elijah McClain’s murderers were mocking him at his vigil. The fight isn’t anywhere near over.
i really hope the lesson people take from elijah mcclain is not "its extra sad because he was so sweet"
but rather, "no amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of police"
Also as much as I appreciate the discourse around Elijah McClain all the “he wouldn’t hurt a fly” “he played violin to cats” he’s clearly a very sweet boy but even if he wasn’t, even if he was a gangbanger nobody deserves to be murdered like that. NOBODY.
