It was very disheartening to see the
sight that Mr George Floyd, a blackman, was killed due to pressing knee on his
neck by a white policeman. Floyd died on 25th May 2020, after a Minneapolis
police Officer Derek Chauvin pinned him to the ground and put his
knee on Floyd's neck for about eight minutes. This has happened on the basis of colour or what we call the racist thoughts.Previously released footage shows
Floyd, pleading with the Police Officers.
"Please,
please, please, I can't breath," he said. "My stomach hurts. My neck
hurts. Please, please. I can't breath.
Ignited
by the killing of Floyd by a law enforcement Officer, demonstrations targeting
racial injustice and police brutality took place nation wide. If anyone was able to actually sit through the complete
video recording of seeing George Floyd struggle for air, crying out to his Mama
and pleading with the officers that he could not breathe, it is not a mystery
why thousands of people, across the country are protesting in anger.
The entire America is paying for the act of these
cold blooded policemen. With the COVID 19 outbreak already there and this
outbreak of protest due to sadistic act by some policemen will affect the
morale of the people. At this time I pray that let politics don’t
interfere and deny justice to the victim.
The pain and suffering of families torn apart and children
left without fathers is hard to even think about. It does not make our communities,
society safe, it destroys them. There is no discrimination for the pain but
there is discrimination between black and white, powerful and powerless, rich
and poor. This must change in the enforcement of law, the law must be the same
for black and white, powerful and powerless, rich and poor.
No divinity or sacredness to be given to any people according to
colour of their skin since all are sons of God.
