Lamenting with you, but in a way that is shallow compared to torrent of grief in which you swim. Virtual hugs are all I can offer today. Praying that Jesus shows up for you and all who grieve Sonya's murder.

Thank you, Don

There are things I will never understand, but my anger does not need any rationalizing. Watching that video made me so angry. I believe what we saw was spiritual warfare made flesh. It breaks my heart. I fear for my family - what is the resort if someone tries me in my own home? Feels like a losing game.

Your anger is holy.

I tell you—I didn’t watch the video. I can’t.

But I did watch the insurrection and the KKK marches so I know the level of non-violence officers are capable of. I know that Black life, chivalry, or training don’t matter when it comes to bodies like mine. I feel like I’m screaming underwater.

I’m in solidarity with you in your grief.

I love how you compared this to those marches. I could only watch the video after my wife told me there were no sounds of bullets or sight of any blood. I wish and pray for a better world for us, our children, and the children we will never knows

Thomas gets a bad rap. Thomas is us all.

Thomas is all of us who struggle but stay in the room. Indeed.
