      Today I was overjoyed when
      the guilty verdict came in, for the police officer that murdered
      George Floyd.

      So many will say what of all the others who’s lives have been taken at the hands of police officers.

      We cannot undo what has been done but what has come out of this case is an awakening.

      An awakening because people will no longer sit on the fence and except injustice.
      Hopeless and helpless
      that we can’t do anything about it because justice will not be served,Feeling that to them, it’s simply another black life.

      I was asked today “What’s so special about George Floyd’s death.?

      what of all the others that have been killed at the hands of the police. ?

      My answer to him was very simple, the world saw the others die and yes many stood up for the rights of those that have been murdered but the difference with Floyd‘s death is nine minutes.

      Nine minutes is a long time.

      Nine minutes gave him time to say He’s had enough .
      He could have noticed too much pressure had been applied !
      He could have said to his partner let’s turn him over, he’s not breathing properly .
      He could have said , I can’t feel a strong pulse .
      He simply could have stopped and saved his life.

      Thats’s the difference nine minutes.

      He suddenly looked up at me and says “oh I didn’t think about it like that“ .
      WOW !!!!! that’s three rounds in the boxing ring.

      It was nine minutes for the world to watch George die in total Agony and people will now kneel in remembrance and say this is what happened in nine minutes.
      RIP 🙏
