And we are already experiencing the disproportionate effects of the COVID crisis. We haven’t ever gotten time to work through the crisis that we’ve been in for centuries.

'Insecure' star Kendrick Sampson says he was shot with rubber bullets 7 times during George Floyd protestActor Kendrick Sampson said he was shot seven times with rubber bullets by police in Los Angeles on Saturday during a protest over the death of George Floyd. JussieSmollett 🤔 Disperse means disperse. Well, we've had three days of visual and audio examples of people 'protesting' with over a few hundred hours of footage.
