a handcuffed black person is on the ground
his neck is being pressed by a white police officer’s knee
George Floyd pleads:
one of the police officers interprets the black person’s statement
“He’s talking, so he’s breathing”
what a discovery
who says cruel savages have no reasoning power
Derek Chauvin doesn’t lift his knee
he says to himself without opening his mouth:
We don’t want you to breathe
the ambulance arrives
not to treat Floyd but to pick up his corpse
this is the value of the black life
one more minority person is a victim of police brutality
they don’t even spare 12 year old black kid playing with a toy gun
racist President Trump would love to defend the killing as
maintaining “law and order” situation
the other three offices were:
Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane
blacks were freed from slavery
blacks got the voting rights
and so on
but the breathing right rests with the white racist police officers
they can stop your breathing in no time
Minneapolis’ black Police Chief Medaria Arradondo offered an apology:
“I am absolutely sorry for the pain, the devastation the trauma Mr. Floyd’s death has left on his family, his loved ones and our community.” “[My police department has contributed towards] deficit of hope [in Minneapolis].”
deficit of hope?
fuck
deficit occurs when something is there
blacks in Minneapolis have no hope at all
Chicago’s black Police Superintendent David O. Brown commented:
“Any officer who abuses their power or stands by and allows it to happen does not deserve to wear the badge, period.”
taking away the badge is the easiest way out
the abusers, in this case, murderers, should be punished to the maximum
so that no police person ever thinks of abusing any civilian of any color
