Such was the case with George Floyd, a resident of Minneapolis, MN who, on Monday, May 25th, 2020, lost his life at the hands of a police officer in a manner that has ignited outrage across the globe.
People everywhere have watched a video shot by a teenage girl, Darnella Frazier, who recorded the actual murder of George Floyd by Officer Derek Chauvin.
Three other officers were on the scene, and none seemed to intervene, though some people are saying that one officer allegedly tried to tell Chauvin that Floyd “might die.”
For the first time, what seems like a critical mass of white people are beginning to understand what Black people have been trying to tell them for ages; they are finally getting it that Black people are insecure in America, that many feel it is taking a chance with their lives to leave their homes.
It is way past time that the lawlessness exhibited by many American police officers toward Black people cease and desist.
