It's pretty despicable to know how much we can discriminate others so easily, and I'm happy that I get along with the foreigners that live in my apartment complex, regardless of whoever they are. Whether it's a short glance through the door, a brief "hello" at the elevator, or exercising together at the gym... it's nice to see some smiles, and remember that we're all human :-)
You're right in that there's certainly a lot more cases of discrimination going around, even the most subtle of slurs can really hurt. As you've said it well, there's a whole lot more untapped cases other than George Floyd's. I think the reason why this particular incident got so much attention, is that every moment has been capture in such vivid detail, and in the public too!
From the moment he was shoved to the ground, the officer kneeling hard down on his neck, his cries of not being able to breathe, and even the officer looking straight into the camera... Until Floyd just stopped moving completely. Life, suffering, and death all captured so quickly. Really sad.
It was really hard to watch a man closing his eyes forever. How can a person be that inhumane and keep kneeling down on the neck when he repeatedly cried of not being able to breathe. That's no duty, but a criminal act.
I hope justice is served and the criminals officers get their time inside bars. People are already fearful of the police and this aggravates even more.
Same here. Worst, society needs police officers to keep us safe. Now, those goods ones are being criminalised, just because a couple of bad apples killed someone in plain daylight. I do hope we see the swift hands of justice come to play, as well.
