The protests against police brutality stemming from the death of George Floyd will eventually die down nationwide, according to activist Tamika Mallory, but the next inflection point for demonstrators will come as the Minneapolis officers charged in relation to his killing head to court.
Mallory, 40, has become a leading voice in the fight against injustice and police brutality. Her parents were founding members of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s civil rights organization, the National Action Network. At 15, she joined the NAA as a staff member before becoming its youngest director. She worked closely with the Obama administration on gun control legislation.
Story continues“The reason buildings are burning is not just for our brother George Floyd,” Mallory said during that speech. “They’re burning down because people here in Minnesota are saying to people in New York, to people in California, to people in Memphis, to people across this nation, enough is enough.”
“Target stands with black families, communities and team members,” said Target CEO Brian Cornell in a statement Friday. “As we face an inflection point in Minneapolis and across the country, we’re listening to our team, guests and communities, committed to using our size, scale and resources to help heal and create lasting change.”
It doesn't matter what the Democrats running the big cities do. It doesn't matter what the federal government does. They will riot anyway so stop listening and reform the police department with common sense reforms.
Sigh
I called it. Ellison is going to make sure they get off so theese riots last along as possible.
If the system worked, Floyd should of been in prison for life. He was a habitual career criminal. There are far more rewarding faces to put before the cause!
