I don’t know why these aren’t trending anymore, but across the country #BlackLivesMatter protests haven’t stopped.
This is Chicago today 👇🏻

Dear Lord,
Today, I pray to walk into this day with peace, confidence, & comprehension of who I am. reignite my fire, give me back my enthusiasm. give me the tolerance to wait for Your plan to unfold & add some strength when I feel like I have none left; in Jesus name. Amen🙏🏾
I had to explain to my mom why peaceful protests won’t work when she expressed her irritation with the looting/rioting/vandalism stuff. And today (like 3-4 days after the initial convo) she sends me this. I’m so happy
The amount of police violence that is still going on after all that has happened is just sickening. Strip this man of his badge and all honor. This is literally assault. Enough is enough.
@c_miller2014 @mbrad02 media outcry for justice. I feel like whatever someone will say on this, somehow there's always going to be a loophole as to why it doesn't bring light to the current movement for the black community. Our white world isn't on fire, brother...😔 I'll end my peace here, as well.
@c_miller2014 @mbrad02 I really feel it does & I wish you could see that :( Arrests shouldn't be made on assumptions. If a white man/woman was in his shoes & this happened, it would still be complete BS & I'd still be infuriated. But our white world doesn't need a riot, or protest, or social...
@ThayneStieg @mbrad02 He's told he's under arrest for speeding 36sec into the video. By law, AS SOON as he was pulled over, he should've been told this incident was due to speeding. The P.O. caused this to escalate. Easily could've been avoided w/ calm & open communication from the start.
@c_miller2014 @mbrad02 I mean that's why he resisted in the first place! He wasn't even told WHY to begin with. The escalation comes from the officer trying to arrest him w/o communicating it was for speeding right from the start. I'd pull my hands away, too, if I wasn't being told why.
@c_miller2014 @mbrad02 Your siuations are quite comparable. Difference is is that you weren't threatened w/ arrest. Asked to get out of his car w/o being told why even though it's law to do so. Told he's under arrest for "resisting arrest" w/o being told WHY in the first place. THIS is the difference:(
