Statement on Verdict of the Murderer of George Floyd

Justice has finally been served for George Floyd. Now it’s our job to ensure there aren’t anymore George Floyds, Breonna Taylors, or Adam Toledos. It’s time to change and move away from carceral systems that commit murder.

 

There are thousands of others who have been lost to the same police violence that was on trial today. The majority of those people did not have the same result. One more life is one too many. It's time for true justice to be served for everyone.

 

There should not be one more George Floyd.

 

Don’t confuse accountability with resolution. Breathe a sigh of relief yes but our systemic problems and violent outcomes are far from over. Becoming complacent will lead us back to here in another year from now. 

 

Be involved. Be intentional. Be proactive. Black Lives Matter.

 

 

In Solidarity, 

Matt Royer
