This, I Also Believe:

That what happened yesterday in Minneapolis to Mr. Floyd - suspected of crimes or not - was murder by torture. I call it what it was.

The firing of the involved officers was a good first step in the response process. I await further steps with a mixture of hope and fear, for reasons already clear to many. There is a history of atrocities and impunity that ties into this.

Oh, absolutely. We don't have the death penalty for forgery.

Not last I heard, unless you count the implicit death penalty for being black at all.
