The killing of George Floyd by method of knee to the neck by a sworn white male officer and three complicit officers who stood by and inflicted further harm rather than choosing to render aid; the video revelation of the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery by white male vigilantes in Georgia; the fatal shooting of EMT Breonna Taylor by police executing a no-knock search warrant in Louisville; and the video-taped interaction in New York's Central Park between a white female Amy Cooper evoking a dangerous false narrative assassinating the character of Christian Cooper—a dramatization she clearly believed would work in her favor—brought to light, once again, this country's sickening and ultimately fatal attachment to hurting, harming, diminishing, and destroying Black lives. It’s past time to dismantle this culture of hatred. Black Lives Matter. It’s past time to end racist outcomes through tangible actions.
