RIP to George Floyd. The prelude to this episode was filmed afterward 8 days after the murder of Mr. Floyd by the Minnesota Police Department. Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones. The nation is forever changed due to the protest and looting that was sparked by his murder of Mr. Floyd committing an alleged nonviolent crime of using a fake $20 bill. We felt it was important to make a statement about this and start the conversation of how we can rebuild together and figure out the first steps of actionable change. This is our community.
