Violence only gets violence in retaliation.

We need to remove the labels that sperate us.

People are dying. We are one.

The police should protect and serve, and we should feel safer at the sight of them. Not fear.

With each death we as a nation become weaker.

We can’t let hate rule our hearts.

My prayers go out to all families dealing with the loss of their loved ones.

All lives matter.

We as people should be just as outraged for every murder, no matter who committed it; Black men killing black men, police killing black men. We have to pray for peace on all fronts. |THIS.
