Synopsis

This is a report by Dennis Solo McKeithan, DB2253 at SCI Phoenix. Today, while watching the news and seeing George in Minneapolis murdered by the police sitting on his neck, it was reminiscent of so many things that happened in here on a daily basis, including what happened to myself at SCI Albion when I was being choked out. It took myself pleading. And I heard a voice saying, get off his neck, let him go, get off his neck. And that voice saved my life. And when I was listening to him say, "I can't breathe" and then call out for his mother, I sat there and I thought of all the murders of innocent unarmed black men and women over the past few months.And I look at society talking about: they need more cameras, they need more training. What people don't understand is you cannot legislate racism. That's something that's in peoples' hearts. I see it in here on a daily basis and it's the same idea: jobs like police officers, prison guards, they are magnets for white racists, because they can practice hate crimes w
