All my love to you all today, it's been a heartbreaking few days

I hope you all and your loved ones are holding up well. Everyone of these vicious shootings brings with it some heartbreak to the communities involved, even if you and your fam are not personally affected.

Love. Hugs.

Black lives matter.

I'm so sorry, so sorry this is happening, my friends.

It's been an awful week...just the thought of a four-year old saying "I'm here for you, Mommy" (crying)

Heartbreaking is accurate as all-get-out, and an understatement at the same time. What is this? THREE slaughterings in a week??????

I'm so sorry. OMG - sending everyone here love and solace and the deepest respect.

Trying to think peace. This is an angry summer.

I'm praying for peace too. In the morning I'm going to think about what I can do to bring peace to a country that doesn't seem very interested in it

I am out of the country and have been completely out of cell service for the past week. What I have been able to piece together is horrible.

Acknowledge the truth, put it out in public with no excuses. I have hope this governor will not allow this to be swept under a rug or left to wither on a vine when the public interest moves on.

Would this have happened if those passengers, the driver and the passengers, were white?” Dayton said, a day and a half after Castile was killed. “I don’t think it would have. … I think all of us in Minnesota are forced to confront that this kind of racism exists.”

It was a forceful declaration from the white governor of a mostly white Midwestern state, almost two years after a white police officer killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, in Ferguson, Mo.

Brown’s death launched a national movement against police violence and unprecedented scrutiny of police use of force.

Dayton, a Democrat, said the shooting in Falcon Heights was “beyond the pale.”

“Nobody should be shot and killed in Minnesota … for a taillight being out of function,” the governor said. “Nobody should be shot and killed while seated still in their car. I’m heartbroken.”

People protesting against these police killing of black people should be the start of solving the problems but it seems progress is always interrupted buy some idiots like those in Texas shooting police. One step forward and three back again.
