It was a video that pulled back the cover of the murder in the case of George Floyd. Emmett Till had no video. Sandra Bland had no video. Trayvon Martin had no video. Breonna Taylor had no video. Kevin Strickland who served 43 years in a Missouri correctional center for a crime he did not commit, had no video. “
