Some of it never should.

 

In the instance at hand the pandemic has little to nothing to do with what has happened or the aftermath.

Nor should it!  For many, this is life...horrible.

The video is very upsetting and I can't get it out of my mind. It's so sad.

George Floyd wasn't just murdered-he was tortured.

He felt his life leaving his body-and cried out for his Mama.

 

This was not his day to die.  The day was taken from him before he had any chance to continue on his designated path in life.

 

Whenever one interferes with the life path of another person, especially through murder, the universe is watching.  Watching not only on how we examine and reflect on this tragedy but also how we examine and reflect on our inner selves.

 

Remember this.

I saw this today online.  Few would disagree with this thought, I think.

People of every stripe and inclination, in this great country and everywhere where civilization lives, are heart broken at the horrible, senseless death of Mr. Floyd.  Thanks, @golding76 ,  for marking this crime, and without inflammatory comment.

Re: George Floyd - May He Rest in Peace

This happened because it seems to be impossible to weed out mentally incompetent police officers whether they are sadistic, racist or both.  How many times is this going to happen?  Can't recruitment do a better job or are they sadistic and racist too?
