Like so many of you, Iโm pained by these recent tragedies. And Iโm exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now itโs George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
It is sickening to watch this black man be killed while helplessly begging for help.
Black lives matter isnโt just a chant, itโs call for justice. Itโs a call for our humanity to be recognized.
This must stop.
There needs to be an immediate DOJ investigation into this.
