That a family had to lose a son, brother and father; that a teenage girl had to film and post a murder, that millions across the country had to organize and march just for George Floyd to be seen and valued is not justice. And this verdict is not a substitute for policy change. https://t.co/tiDkhl9Dk4

The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.

THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY NOT JUSTICE. REMEMBER THAT.
