Letter from the Editor: Jacob Blake, George Floyd and the BLM Movement

I’m not gonna lie I’m usually very reserved about talking about my political opinions and beliefs online, and especially with this site. I know we as a site and I myself for the most part have been silent over the summer and not only do I apologise but that will be changing today. After what we have seen the past weeks and months I can no longer stay silent.

This year we have seen Breonna Taylor, an EMT who was sleeping, shot and killed during a botched raid by the Louisville Metro Police Department back in March. In the time since the the Police Chief has stepped down and one of the three officers have been fired but none have been charged.
