You guys know I have been trying and trying to get a video up that is monetized so I can donate the revenue to a #BLM charity called Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund. Although this video only has limited ads, I'm going to take the advice of the lovely Danelle Hallan and match whatever this video makes in order to donate a bigger amount. Thank you all for being so patient with me. Remember, #blacklivesmatter and this conversation needs to continue. No human should have to be treated differently or without empathy and respect due to the color of their skin. If you'd like to donate directly the link is here: https://thelovelandfoundation.org/loveland-therapy-fund/
One of the best resources for the #BLM movement:

Please Support the NAACP's demands for the United Nations to declare the mistreatment of black people as a human rights violation by emailing infodesk@ohchr.org. Please support @Campaignzero to demand 8 policies for decreasing police violence by emailing or calling your mayor.

In this case, it was 2005 in Iraq and Lavena Johnson was headed out to be a warrior. She was always the top of her class and a role model to many of the soldiers around her. However, 6 months in to her deployment she would go missing. Never showing up to class, the search for her began. She would be found in a tent that was not her own and her parents would get a knock on their door telling them the bad news. Although, the Army was saying that this was a self-inflicted death. The Johnson family knew this wasn't the truth. Once they received all the documents, they realized that she had many more wounds than anyone had told them about. Beaten and bruised with the gun on the opposite side of the room, how did this tiny girl use such a large weapon to harm herself? Her family believed that this was murder and that the Army was covering it up.
