Today is George Floyd in 1992 it was Rodney King and the LA Riots

It is important that I reflect on what is happening in the world today and the best way it seems to do this is to acknowledge what has happened in the past (even in a small way here on this blog) and to say that this is a mirror reflection of our current day situation though the names and players have changed - little else has changed in the world to help combat police brutality of so many Black Americans.


1992 - Rodney King is brutally beaten by police - Riots for 6 days


2020 - George Floyd is murdered by police - Protests ongoing
