i agree with sierra because she is really hitting on points that matter such as blacks being pressed by white cops and nothing really being done and we dont have any higher power that can help with that

The fact that people are harassing and harming a group of people just because of their race, is ignorant and toxic. We need to support others and others up, not knock them down just because of their nationality.

I agree with Sierra, but up to a certain extent because we aren't at peace with each other. How can we expect the police to stop killing us if we can't stop killing each other?

Even with Derek Chauvin being found guilty on 3 counts, I wouldn't necessarily say that we're going in a forward direction, mainly because this small victory was followed by another black person being shot once again.

I feel like bringing up the phrase, "but black people kill each other" to justify or even bring attention to police brutality is insulting. I understand that black on black crime is a thing but its just nothing to be compared to when polices are killing black people  in such large masses. I feel as though we aren't really heading into the direction. I dont believe that anything will really change.

I feel as the police force does need to be reformed, the police killings have been going on for way to long, but also we not safe from our own kind, we are fearful in our own cities, Black on Black crimes. In a way we need the police protection.

It looks like we're moving in a good direction but will it continue , let's pray and hope it does. I agree with namir it took a lot of deaths for the system to finally let the people to have justice...

The entire system needs to be reform and the objective of the jail system needs to change. The foundation is built upon the goal of taking away the freedom of newly freed slaves. In order to stop the heinous killings that are going on right now, we need to redefine the intent of the jail system.

what does these deaths mean to you? meaning do it make you want to take action where defunding the police is taken into heavy consideration or does it just make you numb with the more deaths that you see. Do you think crooked officers may be using recorded tragic situations to their advantage? like using it to inflict fear into black communities. i feel like the more the situations are recorded, the more comfortable officers are becoming and are being open to being racist.

With the outcome of the George Floyd, yes we have moved in a positive direction. But there is still more to be done. I feel like we should try defunding the police or blacks should resort to fighting back against the police. Doing protests like we have isn't helping and if we keep sitting back, then the police will keep abusing their power
