Did y’all know this? 2 Years before Minneapolis police officer #DerekChauvin knelt on George Floyd, Zoya Code says he did the same to her.
“He stayed on my neck and wouldn’t get off. But I survived. “
She shared her story during protests for #DaunteWright Wright & #GeorgeFloyd

Now to be clear the judge said it was too prejudicial for the jury to hear her testimony about Chauvin.

Since some folks don't believe this happened. nytimes.com/2021/02/02/us/…

Since y’all are asking my secret weapon to dissipate stress is petting dogs. Any dog. All dogs. Other people’s dogs. Every time I get a chance. Like This dog. He’s is someone else’s dog. I seek them out and their owners always oblige!

Full disclosure. Sometime I go to dog parks even though I don’t have a dog. I just act like I belong. Just to be around dogs for a few moments. I travel too much to have a dog so that’s my secret.
