FLOYD Lives On. We will continue to speak out until justice is served and Racism Abolished.
BLACK IS HUMAN!!!
He called his mom ...
Handcuffed.
Face down.
Knee on his neck.
They did nothing.
He called the officer "Sir."
They did nothing.
He begged for his life.
He begged for water.
He begged for mercy.
They did nothing.
His nose was bleeding.
Her body was shaking.
He lost control of his bladder.
They did nothing.
He shouted, "I can't breathe anymore."
They did nothing.
Twelve more times.
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
" I can not breathe."
They did nothing.
One last time, he gasped, "I can't breathe."
They did nothing.
He lost consciousness.
They did nothing.
A firefighter asked that they check his pulse.
They did nothing.
The medical staff on leave begged them to stop.
They did nothing.
Deprived of oxygen.
Her organs scream.
His brain wrecked.
They did nothing.
They saw George Floyd die.
His life is fading.
Slow death.
They did nothing.
A lynching on the ground.
They did nothing.
For eight agonizing minutes.
Four officers watched.
He cried out for his mother ...
An adult man ...
Crying for the woman who gave her life ....
How he feared to join her in death.
And still they did nothing.
A black man.
A gentle giant.
