Everyone has the
right to life, liberty,
the pursuit of happiness,
food, clothing, shelter,
and breath.
Everyone has the right
to avoid a violent death.
Footnote:
'I can't breathe' is a reference to the man who
was held in a chokehold by police and 12 times
said he could not breathe before he died.
LeBron James wears an I Can't Breathe
tshirt while playing a game with the
Cleveland Cavaliers. In his game this week
he scored 41 points, but the team lost by
a handful of points.
Martin Luther King III
said on Dec 13th,
'Police are in combat mode
24 hours a day. It is sometimes
as hard for them as for
war vets to reenter civilian life.'
(paraphrased)
The mayor of Akron Ohio, Don Plusquellic,
has proposed that the FBI investigate all police killings.
