“I thank the gentleman for yielding. I support this bill because Black lives matter. Gianna Floyd, the 6-year-old daughter of George Floyd, said, ``My daddy changed the world.'' We are here to prove that she is right. {time} 1445 I spoke to an African American member of my community 2 weeks ago who told me he feels safe twice a day: when he wakes up in his own house and after work when he comes into his own house. He said, ``In between, people look at me, at the nice car I worked hard to buy, and they think that I stole it. I have police officers often running my plates and then realize I don't have any warrants, and they drive off.'' This member of our community is a police captain. So if a Black police captain feels that way, imagine how people in the Black community who are not in law enforcement feel. We can change the world with these necessary police reforms, because Black lives do matter.”
