What is the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act?
I'm glad you asked 🧵 1/9 2/9 The legislation was originally introduced in 2020, mandated the creation of a National Misconduct Registry to collect data on complaints. It would keep track of termination records, lawsuits against officers, discipline records and more at the federal, state and local level.

Lets for the sake of metaphors use Garden as your world, Flowers and Plants as the people you come in contact with and Weeds as unresolved trauma.
You can't allow your trauma to go unresolved. Its unhealthy for you mentally and bad for your relationships with people. Unresolved trauma is like weeds in a garden... your garden can't grow if weeds are over running it, and somehow if your garden is able to grow, the beautiful flowers that are growing cant fully flourish because of those damn weeds overshadowing them.

I'd like to acknowledge our teachers. What a challenging job they are tasked with even as their hands are seemingly being tied behind their backs. As school years are starting many have to buy their own supplies. Please consider helping a teacher. Drop your Amazon #wishlist here I'd like to share two. I'm sharing first my sister's kindergarten list please consider helping. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

1/ Something that has gone under the radar is the passing of- The Public Safety Officer Support Act. I'm thankful for Congress led by @RepDavidTrone @SenDuckworth @JohnCornyn and @GReschenthaler
This bill is aimed to recognize the mental toll that traumatic events... 2/have on the law enforcement officers on the frontlines and their families. Erin Smith, the widow of Officer Jeffrey Smith has been fiercely fighting for this legislation and it is about time it passed. Hopefully @POTUS will acknowledge her efforts in a bill signing ceremony.
