Liberty and Justice for All?

The public execution of George Floyd in Minneapolis has been seen by millions of Americans on national television. Mr. Floyd did not have his day in court; he had his life taken from him, from his family and from his friends and neighbors. This is another incident of police brutality against the African-American community. Is this ever going to stop? The outpouring of anger against injustice has overflowed in the streets of Minneapolis and other cities around the country. There is no justice for All in this nation. There is no equality for all in this country. WHY NOT? We must ALL take action! How would you feel if it was your son or daughter was lying on the ground with four police officers around him or her and one of them is holding his knee against your child's neck; holding his knee there for a very long time; leading to their death? More than outrage, wouldn't you say. What is the solution? Will those responsible for Mr. Floyd's DEATH be punished for the crime of FIRST DEGREE MURDER and other crimes? We will see. What about the harm done to the community as a whole? Question after question have to be answered. Will the Congress finally address the issues of police injustice towards the black community? SOMEONE HAS TO STAND UP!
