Perhaps I missed the post, but was there any mention on this forum of the ill-starred George Floyd?

As a caucasian woman, I want it to be known that each time I see that horrific video of his being killed before our eyes, I cry.  I cannot help but weep.

I do not want this to be an incendiary post, so please do not write something that does nothing more than incite bad feelings.  

May Mr. Floyd rest in peace and his family ultimately find some comfort.

I agree. It's a tragic reminder of how short of distance we really have come in this country. Sad, sad, sad.

God Bless you @golding76 , I'm not as brave as you are.

I'm not sure how you think this could go any direction but that he was murdered.

Which you pretty much said.  And yes, right before our eyes.

May God Rest His Soul and comfort his family.

May he not have died in vain.

I cannot bear to see it one more time.  I can't put into words here the depth of my sadness, horror and anger.

I am tempted to say something regarding the charges, but I guess I better sit on my paws.

You may not want this thread to go south, I can almost guarantee that it will.
