GEORGE FLOYD: Did police really commit this crime on video by accident?

Did former Officer Chauvin and his accomplices really commit this unimaginable crime on video, knowing they were surrounded by cameras, by accident? Or did they do this on camera, on purpose, to serve a deeper and far more sinister agenda, that would lead to widespread protests, and ultimately to federal military on the streets of America?

Dear Diary,

        My ballet recital is Monday night.  My grandma and grandpa are even coming to my show. Mommy made me my costume.  I get to wear a pink tutu.  I am so nervous, but mommy said that it’s okay.  It’s okay to be nervous sometimes, it means you want to do well.  I had school today.  Teacher told us to write a story, so I wrote one about a caterpillar changing into a butterfly.  Teacher says, that is called meti metamorphisis metamorphosis.  I really like Teacher, she’s really nice.  She gives us cookies on Fridays and likes to play games with us.  Sometimes when we are good, Teacher giv

Dear Diary,

        The alarms went off yesterday.  They were loud.  Teacher told us to stop writing and hide under our desk yesterday.  She said we were playing a game.  She said whoever didn’t make a sound would win a prize. She never told us what the prize was. Teacher turned off the lights and wiggled the door knob.  The door didn’t open.  Teacher hid under her desk, too.  Someone banged on the door.  We giggled. Teacher started to cry.  We stopped. There was more banging, another wiggle of the doorknob.  The banging stopped.  Then we heard loud shots.  They sounded like daddy’s gun.  Daddy hunts. No one hunts in school though.  We waited.  The alarms were loud but the shots were louder.  I covered my ears until a policeman came in the room and walked us to our mommy’s and daddy’s.  

        Mommy didn’t stop hugging me today.  She just kept me in her arms and whispered she loved me.

Dear Diary,

       I didn’t go to school today.  Mommy told me it was because of a bad man.  I don’t know what she means.  Today was my recital.  I got to wear my pink tutu.  Grandma and Grandpa came.  They told me how pretty I was.  Suzy didn’t show up to the recital.  Suzy is my best friend.  We eat popsicles and color together.  Mommy said Suzy was sick.

 Dear Diary,

        I get to go back to school today.  Mommy hugged me really tight today, she didn’t stop telling me she loved me.  I told her I loved her too.  She would not let go.  Teacher’s eyes were red today.  I hugged Teacher, and told her I loved her.  She said thank you and cried more.  I didn’t see Suzy at lunch today.  I hope she feels better soon.  We always sit together.  I really miss Suzy.

Dear Diary,

        Mommy told me Suzy was in heaven.  She said the bad man killed her.  I asked mommy why he would do that.  Mommy didn’t answer.  She just kept crying.

 Dear Diary,

        Mommy dressed me in my only black dress today.  She said it was for Suzy’s funeral today.  She said we had to go to pay our respects, but it’s also a chance to say goodbye. I had to say goodbye to my best friend.  Today was my seventh birthday.

Dear Diary,

        I turn eleven in six days.  Mommy still cries around this time of year.  She always repeats, “It could have been you,” and “Those poor parents.”  I understand now that I could have died.  I understand now what death is.  I miss Suzy every day, and I will never understand how someone could do such a thing.  We were all innocent.  We were all innocent children.  My dad no longer hunts.  He doesn’t keep a gun in the house.  Mommy doesn’t just drop me off at school anymore.  She walks me to the classroom door, and kisses me on my forehead.  Everything changed because of that day.  

Disclaimer: I am an American citizen who subscribes to the belief that what we should be doing taking into account that America isn’t a business(sorry Trump), women are created equal (sorry old fashioned people, you know who you are), and that when you are presenting an argument to someone, a Bible verse does not count as reinforcement(sorry people who cherry pick the verses out of the Good-Book that apply to what they want in life). 

If you don’t agree with me I really don’t care. 

 Most people have an “idea” of how America should be run. They have their complaints, they have their pet peeves, etc. Although no one actually puts their best foot forward to fix anything. The problem with Americans is the fact they we don’t think about our beliefs as they affect other people, we would rather just sit around and condemn others for being gay, fat or divorced. They just see issues and problems on a level that is not human, but a level that is equivalent to a figment of imagination. People want a Utopia. And the problem with that is, Utopia is different for everyone.  What is mine? A society, a country that accepts people for who they are, a place where anyone can feel safe. Women aren’t treated as if it was their fault they were raped, girls aren’t sold an image that they are supposed to be perfect, little boys can feel okay wearing a pink shirt if they choose to, etc. But to some people that is wrong. Why? Because they have been told that women should always be under men, gay people are abominations, and rape isn’t a real issue. An example of my issue. People are quick to judge President Obama on anything, especially healthcare. But do those people have a well thought out solution to the fact that there are numerous amounts of children who don’t have healthcare? No. They just think about how we are becoming Communist. The very fact that we can complain about it openly and argue with each other, proves that we are not. You can complain all you want about Obama’s healthcare plan being expensive, but did you try to do anything about the situation we are in? What situation you ask? Oh the situation where going to the doctor or getting sick got so expensive that people go bankrupt due to natural causes. Do I like his plan? I am personally still on the fence. Time will tell if it lowers the health costs for the citizens, and if it doesn’t I will probably migrate to the side of the fence that wants something different. 

Gay marriage is now legal, but people are still refusing to sell a wedding cake to gay couples. *HOW COME* they don’t refuse to sell things to people who are divorced and on their second marriage? You can not complain about gay marriage ruining the sanctity of marriage when you are ruining it yourself. I am not saying that divorce is bad, I am saying that it is just as bad as being gay is in the bible. Does it mean that you are a bad person? No. It does meant that you are not following the Bible, and are just as “wrong” according to your own beliefs.  I think divorce and gay marriage are equal in the sin department, and you should definitely consider that next time you  condemn someone for being gay, or vote against Gay marriage on a bible verse you picked out instead of forming your own opinion based in fact.
