I drove by a rally today and before I knew it, I had parked the car and joined the protest. An L.A. reflex I guess. This time with no spare sign from the trunk, but with one of my nieces. So proud of her! So bittersweetly optimistic that so many people now realize that Black life is a different and dangerous life... and care.
Eric Garner’s last words: “Every time you see me you want to mess me with me. I’m tired of it. It stops today. I’m minding my business, officer. I’m minding my business… Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone. Please. Please don’t touch me. Please do not touch me. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.” #ericgarner I continue to pray for peace...
