Instead of *who* killed #GeorgeFloyd, we should focus on *what* killed George.
Until then, we won't have justice.

Thank you @RevDrBarber for your sermon this morning that helped re-center us on how we fight for true freedom from oppression, poverty, and all this sickness, that has led to so much death and pain.
Know that it's still both, but don't let the "who" overshadow the decades of structural racism that has created the system that allows police officer after police officer off the hook for murder. I just want us to dig deeper so that the #DefundPolice movement isn't brushed aside.
Too many folks are confused when they hear we need to #DefundPolice. I ask you to engage in this debate with an openness. There is real validity in dismantling the current racist system that has led to this pain.
I want to share these images of Denzel Washington demonstrating the approach we need instead of the armed, militant, & racist-filled methods. We need a restorative justice system that centers us on social & human services that recognizes structural racism.
