Thanks to social media, I have no doubt that if you are reading this then you have heard the name George Floyd. Yet another Black male murdered in America, not only murdered but murdered by those that are sworn to 'Serve and Protect'.
If you do not know the story then I urge you to Google it, whilst there you may as well google the following names also [let me know where you get to before you think you have had enough of reading]...and then imagine those names are your sons, Brothers or father or, as they are, random people killed based on the fact they look just like you, how tired would you be then?
I can almost guarantee you wont even read the full list of names, simply because there is that many;
