This tension had an inevitable breaking point. How much longer did society expect us to continue moving along with the status quo while our brothers, sisters, mothers, friends, family were being gunned down in the street with no remorse, without consequence, and SO FREQUENTLY. We are tired of reminding people our lives matter. We are tired of our pleas to stop killing us fall on uncaring ears. We are tired of having to defend our anger and explain our frustration. We are tired.
