#i’m not saying that ma’khia was doing anything wrong just saying that even if she was it doesn’t justify her death

Around the same time as the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial came out yesterday, police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed a black teenager. Her name was Ma’khia Bryant, she was 16 years old, and she should still be alive.

George Floyd’s family got to see accountability for his death. That accountability does not change the system that allowed him, Ma’khia, and hundreds of others to be killed in the first place.
