S3 E11 - Enough is Enough - the senseless killings of Atatiana Jefferson and Botham Jean CW/TW - police brutality, addressing racism, brief mention of sexual assailants Today we are going to discuss something a little bit different but highly relevant. We aim to wake everyone we can up to police brutality. What has happened to the people we talk about is a crime and a senseless one at that. We want to drive the point home that even after the outrage that occurred during the murder of George Floyd in 2020, even to this day black men and women are being murdered for no reason by law enforcement. We do not believe all of law enforcement to be bad people, but it’s unfortunate that many of them do indeed seem to target people of color. It has to stop and we all must be instrumental in standing up and advocating for justice. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - End Police Brutality and racism. End favoritism and nepotism in law enforcement. We all need to do what's right. SAY THEIR NAMES! To ALL victims and survivors - thank you. We admire your strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. We advocate and stand WITH and for you. Never stop telling your story. Let’s continue applying pressure. Thank you for your bravery.
