Say Their Names: 101 Black Unarmed Women, Men and Children Killed By Law Enforcement: Remembering George Floyd - Breonna Taylor - Tamir Rice - Michael ... - James Chaney - Oscar Grant - Sandra Bland
Not more, and definitely not less. Why is a statement about lives having value, controversial? As SNL's Michael Che stated, "Black Lives Matter. Just Matter."
George Floyd's murder was as shocking as it was common. In fact, there is an entire museum in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to 4,400 lynching victims. But, the sad truth is, 4,400 were only the reported ones. And, if you look into the statistics, many of the lynchings were perpetrated by, or sanctioned by law enforcement.
This compilation of lost lives is more of an encyclopedia and serves as a record for the 101 deaths of unarmed people of color attributed to law enforcement. From Tamir Rice to Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Aubrey to James Earl Chaney; many you have heard about, and many you have not.
We document who they were as people, the details surrounding their deaths, as well as if there were any arrests or convictions of officers involved.
Unfortunately, this is an incomplete record, but an important reminder just the same. We owe them that much. source from

Minneapolis firefighter Genevieve Hansen testifies in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, March 30, 2021, in Minneapolis.
Key takeaways from Day 2 of the Derek Chauvin trial
"I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more."
Mar. 31 - ...Hansen described Floyd's face as "puffy and swollen" and that she saw fluid she assumed was urine coming from Floyd's body, explaining that patients often release their bladder when they die.
"What I needed to know is whether or not he had a pulse anymore," she said.
Hansen said she was immediately ordered by officer Tou Thao to get on the sidewalk and was told "if you really are a Minneapolis firefighter you know better than to get involved."
"First I was worried that he wasn't going to believe me and not let me help," she said. "That's not right. That's exactly what I should have done. There was no medical assistance on scene and I got there and I could have given medical assistance."
Instead, she said she could only watch as Floyd's life faded away and call 911 to report what she had just witnessed.
When prosecutor Matthew Frank asked how it made her feel to not be allowed to help Floyd, Hansen said, "totally distressed."
"In my memory, I tried different tactics of calm and reasoning. I tried to be assertive. I pleaded and was desperate," Hansen said breaking into tears.... quoted from

Losing Taiwan will spell the end of the American Empire
Mar. 31 - On March 24, the cargo ship called “Ever Given” ran aground on the Suez Canal due to adverse weather conditions. Blocking the canal horizontally for exactly five days, Ever Given made it absolutely impossible for other ships to pass. The Suez Canal is one of the world’s most critical supply canals, and thus constitutes a major percentage of the flow of global trade. The shortest route to transferring Middle Eastern oil to the West, the Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean to the Indian and Pacific oceans. Taking all of this into consideration, the Canal occupies an extremely strategic position commercially and militarily... The U.S., which assumed the role that the British Empire had vacated after World War II, started its hegemony over maritime trade routes, particularly the Middle East and the India-Pacifics. Last week, a Chinese air fleet entered Taiwanese airspace through the Bashi Channel. American media is currently buzzing about China’s military drill on the south of the Bashi Canal... British-American historian Niall Ferguson says that losing Taiwan will be the end of the Empire in all of Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. In his article published on March 22 on Bloomberg.com, Ferguson points that “Taiwan will turn out to be to the American empire what Suez was to the British Empire in 1956”... quoted from

A Taiwan Crisis May Mark the End of the American Empire
America is a diplomatic fox, while Beijing is a hedgehog fixated on the big idea of reunification.
Mar. 31 - ...As for Biden himself, would he really be willing to jeopardize the post-pandemic boom his economic policies are fueling for the sake of an island Kissinger was once prepared quietly to trade in pursuit of Cold War detente? Who would be hurt more by the financial crisis Blackwill and Zelikow imagine in the event of war for Taiwan – China, or the U.S. itself? One of the two superpowers has a current account deficit of 3.5% of GDP (Q2 2020) and a net international investment position of nearly minus-$14 trillion, and it’s not China. The surname of the secretary of state would certainly be an irresistible temptation to headline writers if the U.S. blinked in what would be the fourth and biggest Taiwan Crisis since 1954... quoted from
