That could of been someone else that could of been another black male that lost his life. So if doing this gets I voice heard then so be it https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605177623 2020-06-01 16:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605177623 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605182066 What comes to mind is “ I can’t breath” ]]> 2020-06-01 16:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605182066 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605470998 I think it’s messed up the way they are treating a person because they are from a different culture and race.]]> 2020-06-01 19:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/605470998 I feel like Black lives matter no matter what and we shouldn’t have to fight for our justice, we shouldn’t have to do crowd protests for our voices to be heard we shouldn’t have to fight for equality because at the end of the day black lives matter no matter what. https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/606861753 2020-06-02 13:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/606861753 I know that cops wanna just hurt and kill us black peoples because when we say we can’t breathe it doesn’t matter to them because all the wanted to do anyways was kill us and harm us anyways innocent and all. https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/606867790 2020-06-02 13:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/606867790 I agree I as well think it’s messed up that the was treating a person (black people) differently from their race and more so.

This has been happening for 100s of years which is sickening. And the people are fed up with it, they always been have. Although I do not condone with the destruction of businesses, arson, and looting, I understand that sometimes people really listen when there is violence involved to an extent. Although I genuinely do hope that something is going to change, I know things are just going to go back to square one. https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/611389213 2020-06-04 16:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/611389213 I see people standing up for their rights and will not back down until they are heard .

The people who are rioting may be sick of still not being acknowledged even when they are protesting so they start to riot. That image of all those “police officers” with that armor on and the weapons shows how they are taking unnecessary force to deal with protesters and  showing that they aren’t making any change because even with all these protests going on there is still unnecessary violence/brutality towards people of color.💅🏾]]> 2020-06-04 20:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/611895178 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/612114067
It’s Glacia 
I believe that the protestors should keep protesting because we have a right and those rights should not go other ways because we are black. I think that the police man did what he did because he though that because of corona no one is going to come out and start to fight for our freedom. They just don’t get it, it’s always the same crime but just different people, and they know we are willing going to stand up for our own race. From slavery this as been going on we are treat like we are a properties and not human. They kept killing us because they know what we are capable of.

George was murdered. No denying it. Officer Chauvin killed him because he was black. In order to progress in society we need to make changes. Make every poc equal. We can’t progress if systematic oppression is still around. So we should continue to fight for our rights.

While he said he can’t breathe and yet he was ignored so know I think that we tried Martin Luther kings way and that’s partially worked but know it’s time for physical action to take place because words supposedly doesn’t mean much]]> 2020-06-08 08:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/616366385 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/616861739 Zyaire Allen😩 , So ima keep it ah buck you hurd . What they did to that man was messed up . He sat on da next man neck which number one is gay . Number 2 , he was already in handcuffs so he didnt need to do that because he was restrained. He has a 6 year old daughter thats growing up without a loving father because the messed up system took him away . Yall gotta realized that us black people have a target on our back since we came out of the womb . Even some doctors are racist , and the switch some babies out . I dont agree with what the cops did with him . Also, I dont feel like looting is the right way to go .

A white police officer named Derek Chauvin came and pulled him out of his car, handcuffs him then shoved him faced down to the ground. The officer then kneel down on his neck, then  three more police officer came and I thought they was going the tell the officer to just put him in the car but they were in on they so then about 8 minutes George Floyd was dead and his daughter has to now live without him which is unfair to the girl. So people are protesting because, what police are doing is happening all the time so they want to put an end to it.]]> 2020-06-10 02:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/619893640 My thoughts🧠 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621888411 My thoughts when I see this picture why do they look lowkey scared but they don’t have to be they can be trying to show other people that black lives matter too.]]> 2020-06-11 06:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621888411 What come to mind https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621889884 Why did they do that]]> 2020-06-11 06:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621889884 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621890991 I think that they should keep doing it until they understand that black lives matter too.]]> 2020-06-11 06:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/621890991 https://padlet.com/abarnes212/Bookmarks/wish/625144433 When I see this destruction and fire what comes to mind is that even tho protesters are doing this to stand up all there doing is gaining enemy’s like the police and the government and are proving to others opinions about them and creating a bad image for them.

George Floyd was already in handcuffs and they could of put him in the police car. Instead, the police officer put his knee on his neck. George Floyd didn't deserve this, many people loved him.

One decision can change the entire world. Many people loved him and the police took him away from everyone. Black people are tired of being racially profiled.
