All Lives Matter
The aftermath of all of this is protests that have turned into chaos. People are outraged. When will it be enough? When will the time come that black Americans either minding their own business or even those accused of minor infractions don’t end up losing their lives needlessly? When will people like Amy Cooper stop arbitrarily accusing or pointing their fingers, literally or not, at a black person.
For those of us looking on, how do we handle that? Do we join the protest? If and when the protests turn violent do we stay in or walk away? At this point the protest has turned to looting and extensive damage to police vehicles and while I agree that protesting is a necessary vehicle to bring issues, concerns and conditions to light, when it turns to violence, looting and property damage does it lose it’s focus? We at Handle-That don’t have the answers and can’t tell you who does but what we can’t do is look the other way. Abuse of power has to stop.
