How to Support the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the Victims of the Dallas Shootings!
Today is officially the last day of what was certainly a week of tragedy and sorrow, we join the country in mourning and seeking fostering insight. This post offers ways we can remember Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the Victims of the Dallas Police Shootings.
Sadly the deaths of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile, in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, were both killed by police. Their deaths, which were both captured on video, reminded us that as country we may not have came as far as we often think. It aches at the hearts of mothers, fathers and people everywhere. As one could imagine, these killings added to the already long list of police killings, 123 black people killed by police in 2016 to be exact, have sparked protests nationwide. To add to the madness on Thursday night at was to be a peaceful protest in Dallas, TX, Five Dallas PD and Dallas Area Rapid Transit officers: Michael Smith, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Patrick Zamarripa and Brent Thompson; wounding six more, as well as one civilian.
