"You got him down can you let him

breathe, at least man?"

"I can't breathe!" "Please, please, please? I

can't breathe!"......"His nose is bleeding.
Look at his nose!" "My stomach hurts. My
neck hurts. Please?! please? I can't breathe
officer." "Please, your knee's in my neck."
"Mama! Mama? Mama?" As unbelievable as
this sounds, these are the screams and
pleas of a grown man. Subjected as low as
to beg and cry for his mother, he asks for
his mother to rescue him from being
pinned down and suffocated by police. Job
termination is not enough, and a
conviction will not suffice. Intentionally life
was extracted from George Floyd's body,
just like many others. It is time for America
to substantiate its' claims to care for the
people and taking action will lessen these
occurrences. My claims may be extreme
but, no more than a homicide via knee to
the back of the neck. Extreme situations
sometimes need equally extreme solutions.

Police officers are in a position of

authority which, comes with great
responsibility. Idolized as heroes by some,
but as menaces to others. It depends on
our status, level of importance, and the
value of our lives. This country ratifies that
some lives do not matter as much as
others. Police misusing their authority are
not often subject to the harsher sides of
the judicial system like civilians are,
because they get an exemption. Losing
your job and being convicted is not
substantial repercussion for intentionally
depriving a life. Officer knee in the back of
the head and neck region, to ensure his
victim is dead is unbelievable. Why are you
working so hard to inflict death? Consider
the person you pursue as an officer as
your suspect, not your enemy or your
victim. The treatment George Floyd
received was that of an enemy or more of
that you would not wish on an enemy even.
An arrest cannot equal a cure to sickness
like such. A person like this is a menace to
society. Holding them and later freeing
them is risking a lot more people than
helping.

The American constitution, in its'

essence, is about all American citizens,
some think. Shamefully, some others have
reason to disagree. America has claimed to
care about every American equally for a
long time. This country does a great job
granting opportunities and chances for
betterment to all. America has great
diversity and a mix of people from all
cultures and lifestyles, all striving for goals
beautifully. Yet, America has an alarmingly
ascending amount of police brutality cases
against people of color as well. America
may be a dream to some, but a nightmare
to others forced to fear the ones in place
to protect us and make us feel safe. As
cliché as it may sound, black lives do not
seem to matter still. It is time America
does more to prove and stand by all claims
of justice, freedom, and righteousness.
Allowing officers to live their lives after
such heinous events is injustice. Injustice
is starting to become the new face of
America, along with racism. Right now,
some parents are teaching their children
about things to do in life as an adult to be
successful. Others are having to teach our
children how to survive successfully to
become an adult.

Mentioning the death penalty

leaves a bad taste in the mouth of some. I
advocate for peace, but peace is often only
made after something unpeaceful occurs
first. I know the state of Minnesota has
outlawed capital punishment, but if any
case were worthy of reinstating it, it would
have to be this one. Police need to take
accountability as civilians do. The death
penalty gets issued in more of these cases,
and they would occur less. We need a
country where all citizens are equally safe
from harm by authorities. Every time police
have an intention to harm a minority they
would stop and subconsciously think of
the possible consequence, thus lessening
police brutality.

Concluding this petition, more

African Americans cannot be the victim of
cold-blooded murder in the state of
Minnesota at the hands of Police Officers.
Arresting and jailing officers only solves
the case but is not progress towards
solving the problem. If all lives are equal
and the power is to the people, the people
need support. The death penalty, in this
case, should serve as a reference to trigger
happy cops. We are tired of marching the
streets as much as you are tired of us
doing it. We are tired of kneeling instead of
feeling secure in standing for our country.
We are more tired of feeling our country
does not stand for or with us. We are tired
of having to sign petitions for changes
that should not need to be requested. We
are tired of fighting for rights others
already have. Most of all, we are tired of
begging to breathe.
