robinkelly.house.gov Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · Jul 17
11 years ago, Eric Garner spoke his last words: "I can't breathe." That cry for help should have ignited change, yet the fight for police accountability continues. We need national use-of-force standards, an end to qualified immunity, and real consequences for misconduct.

"George Floyd (1973–2020) & Eric Garner (1970–2014)"

From "Last Words", a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person.

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #lastwords #georgefloyd #ericgarner
I can't breathe. The weight of centuries kneels heavy on my neck; the weight of manacles, of overseers’ whips, of hempen rope, of crosses burning in the hooded night, bears down on me, yet urges me to rise — to free myself from history, to rip the mask of hatred from the face of fear. But I can’t breathe.

White supremacy uses police to choke the life out of Black bodies as they gasp for air. They sit on the backs of #GeorgeFloyd, #EricGarner, and #FrankTyson.

Today, we remember #EricGarner, who was killed by the Staten Island police on July 17, 2014.

His last words, “I can’t breathe,” became the rallying cry of a generation. Rest in Power, Eric. We won’t stop fighting for the world that you deserved. 🫀

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

And made an example of nationally and flagrantly, so things finally start to change, and moms can stop losing their beloved children. The culture and focus of policing should be upliftment and support, not arrogance, racism and brutality.
