I’ve just returned from Christian Taylor’s candlelight vigil, and his family does NOT want his face to be used as any page’s profile pictures, or have any sort of protests or rallies in his name, or have this made into discourse on racism (although his brother Adrian did state that “this law enforcement stuff is crazy and is happening every week”). they ask if you could not believe ANYTHING on the news or social media, and not spread anything unless it is directly from the family. they would like to remind everyone that NO ONE except the people who were there know what happened yet. please remember that this is a young man with many many dear friends and family, and we have literally just began mourning. we are all hurting. please do not turn an untimely death into immediate political discourse. remember to love each other and stay safe.
