Only one of Breonna Taylor’s killers is in jail. Two of George Floyd’s murderers are out on bail (albeit, one of them was only a few days into the job and tried to intervene). The cop that killed Tony McDade still hasn’t been identified.
I still do not feel as thou we are seeking the most equitable justice. What is it that we specifically want? Police or education reform? A dismantling and rebuild of the American educational system? More civilian oversight in politics?
I’ve marched and protested from the beginning. The movement has developed so far past just a simple blanket request for “justice”. Will we have it once the murderers are put before trial?
I am very tired of black death being the catalyst that makes people stand up and take action. With all the energy and support that we have in this moment coalitions should form that go past simple protest, something that strikes at the root of these systemic issues.

Next year, Starbucks and McDonald's will give out a free coffee on Juneteenth, too! Benevolent corporate overlords.
