George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

MY DAD IS LISTENING TO A POLICE SCANNER FOR L.A. AND THE COPS ARE TRYING TO GET THE PROTESTERS TO GO A CERTAIN WAY WHERE THEY HAVE JAIL BUSES AND ARE READY TO ARREST PEOPLE PLEASE SPREAD THIS
just think it’s important people know how peaceful and organized the protest in LA today was. for HOURS. EVERYONE (that i encountered) was kind. mindful. considerate. handing out free food and water. making sure those around them were okay.
i don’t really know where i’m going with these tweets but it just felt important to let people know these protests aren’t just madness from the start and “thugs” trying to destroy everything. there were kids next to us.
