Kindred, 

In the wake of all that has transpired, there must be a wake-up call for those that continue to sin and practice abuse of power in hate and abuse of power in control.  

Patterns of bad behaviors and bad actors must be identified and rooted out, no excuses.  

It is completely unacceptable to continuously have victims subjected to attacks and assaults. 

 

Assaults which are at times deadly and result in tragic outcomes.  

To hear time and again that we are better than this, only to find out that we are not, is demoralizing.  

Systemic racism happens when the system allows it; the system is the people who run it.  

If we, the people, have zero tolerance for bad and abusive practices then the system will change.  

It will change not only by the laws we put in place and enforce, but by the standards of conduct in which we hold ourselves.
