My public comment from the June 13 Englewood Council Meeting.
"It was less than 60 seconds between when they first saw Bernard, until the time he is fatally shot by Officer Sharpe.
60 seconds where he is alone in his room, a threat to no one.
60 seconds where there is only screaming by officers at Bernard, escalating the situation. No one speaks to him as a human being nor tries to calm the situation, to resolve it peacefully."

"Imagine one of those officers approaches you, still screaming, now pointing their gun at you at close range. And your body still won’t do anything your brain tells it to do, you’re frozen, you can’t comply even if you put every ounce of mental effort into doing what they’re screaming at you to do.

Bang."
