On the recordJuly 25, 2024
We should all be outraged by the murder of Sonya Massey, an unarmed 36-year-old mother of two who was killed in her own home, clearly struggling with mental illness. The police officers did not know how to respond. They threatened to shoot her in the face, and they actually shot her in the face. Sonya Massey should be alive today. Breonna Taylor should be alive today, and Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more. We need transformational police reform now in our country. This officer should have never been on the job. As a Black man, every time I see another Black person, particularly a Black woman, killed by law enforcement, it takes a piece of my soul. We have a Black woman running to be President while Black women are being shot and killed in our communities. Enough is enough. ____________________
