So today was the funeral of Daunte Wright - another unarmed black man shot by Police - I think he was pulled over because his tags were out of date and then the cop meant to go for her taser and mistakenly had her gun in her hand and shot him. Horrible. This just keeps happening. Driving while black, sleeping while black, any number of things you can be doing while black will get you shot in this country. It is really depressing. We keep saying we have come so far but have we really? If this keeps happening? I cannot help but be depressed about this. I am white so this does not happen to me - I have privilege. But I can be a witness when it is happening to someone else. I will do better and be an ally. Lots of politicians were at his funeral so maybe now they will do something? Change some policies and do something? Otherwise it is just words.

And then there was the 13 year old kid that got shot in Chicago. It just keeps happening.
