Black people are still reeling from the deaths of so many other Black folks at the hands of police violence this summer: Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Tony McDade, and the thousands of other names we don’t know. The thousands of other Black people like Jacob Blake who just want to breathe and live free of the terror from state violence. Justice can’t wait.
Across the country, police officers are terrorizing Black people with impunity and acting as judge, jury and executioner. And each time, we feel the hurt. This is not normal. We refuse to stand idly by as police officers kill people with impunity. This endless cycle of police violence must end now. And we have to keep fighting for justice.
We must continue to demand justice for Jacob Blake, his family, and all victims of police brutality. And we have to make sure police officers can’t use excessive force or murder Black people with impunity — not in Wisconsin, not in Washington, not anywhere.
