"It's all kind of numbing. On one hand it's like I KNOW I'm not crazy there's a real problem in our country. On the other I'm sad that everyone doesn't see it and some don't want to. Of course I know God is at work. It's just tough to process it all. #BreonnaTaylor" — Lecrae, recording artist, via Twitter.

Aaron Sorkin
"Of course people are going to get on the street and they're going to show you their pain, they're going to show you their anger. And you have to meet that by listening. You cannot meet that by pushing back with, what are essentially baseball bats and poison that you're spraying in people's eyes and noses. But that is what will happen." — writer-director Aaron Sorkin in an AP interview.

"This is why police need to be defunded and ultimately abolished! We time and time again hope for a sliver of justice but why would we get that when the system is designed to protect the very folks that are murdering and terrorizing us. This isn't a bad apple, it's a rotten tree." — Layshia Clarendon, WNBA player for the New York Liberty, via Twitter.
