Black Americans killed by police, like George Floyd. Black Americans killed by white men in the South, as Ahmaud Arbery was. Black Americans dying disproportionately of COVID-19. Saturday, in Seattle and nationwide, the response was collective anger.
On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to downtown Seattle over the killings of Black people in America.
And then the everyday humiliations and threats to Black Americans, like when Amy Cooper, a white woman in New York City, called 911 on Christian Cooper, a Black man, seemingly to punish him for asking her to leash her dog. Protesters gather at 5th Avenue and Cherry Street in downtown Seattle on Saturday, May 30, 2020. They were protesting the death in Minneapolis of an African American man, George Floyd, in police custody.Around 2:45 p.m., young, white men came pouring from around every street corner.
Unmentioned was that Andre Taylor's own brother, Che Taylor, was killed by a Seattle police officer in 2016. Che Taylor, like Floyd, was 46 years old. "What's the next step? Well, we lead the rest of the country: When we see incidents like this in our cities, here in Washington state, that we make sure that people are convicted for unjustified homicide."
