1. It’s not that George Floyd’s murder is not race motivated, I have no direct knowledge of that, but what is certain that’s not the only hate issue in play. I used to be a police officer

2. I heard so many times, “If you want to act like an animal then I’ll treat you like an animal.” The root issue is hardening your heart so much you don’t see people with intrinsic worth. Inside the policing community there must be a change. Apathy has replaced empathy

3. Many officers see suspects as nothing more than an animal. The constitution, which officers are sworn to protect, says there are God given rights which are self-evident each person posses. We must recapture that. We are made in the image of God.

4. If you loose the view that all humans have intrinsic worth you end up with your hands in the pocket of indifference with apathy choking out the life of the most helpless of humanity. #GeorgeFloyd
