I regretfully feel I have to post this yet again.
Another person simply using their phone to record someone being threatened has been shot and killed in the streets of an American city by a government official. It’s once again time to make your feelings known to those who represent you, or at least time for me to.

Here is a copy of my short and direct note. You may feel free to copy and paste if you wish:
Dear _____,
Yet another person has been murdered in cold blood in the streets of an American city. Our U.S. government is killing its citizens for simply being in the streets, exercising a constitutionally guaranteed right, and making their opinions known. This is not who we are, nor what we wish to become. Please use your position to put a stop to this. You are our voice. You, your neighbor or even I could be next. Silence is complicit.
Respectfully,
Your name
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.”
