Speedster,
Nobody but Chris mentioned the police because that’s not what this is about overall. If you didn’t watch the Floyd funeral, I recommend watching just Reverend Al’s eulogy. It was quite moving. There was one quote in particular that stood out to me.
Police violence, and profiling, etc are very real issues and part of the problem. Some cities are already reacting and addressing the kinds of reform Chris mentions. That included my own local city of Denver where legislation is already moving.
But at the end of the day, it wasn’t just about another black man dying at the hands of police. I ran for Ahmaud. George Floyd was just a match that lit a big pile of kindling just waiting for a spark.
