'Kneeling has become a mockery of sorts. Kneeling on George Floyd’s neck is what killed him.'
"Kneeling has become a mockery of sorts. Kneeling on George Floyd’s neck is what killed him. Now we see police officers kneeling and then, moments later, attacking peaceful protesters," she says. "At this point, the kneeling has no meaning."
Palmer couldn't understand the National Guardsman's reasoning for why his unit chose not to march with the protesters. "They didn’t march with us, and while one offered to for a short stretch, he also said he had to 'protect the businesses' and buildings in the area," thestar writes."But what about the people who are actually dying? In that moment, I wasn’t thinking about who may or may not touch a building; I was thinking about how we’re out here, fighting for a call to protect human lives.
The passionate star adds,"I don’t know everything, but I know how to speak from my heart -- at least I try to every day," she continues."I have waited for a revolution, I believe, my entire life.""So while it may be scary, we were born for this: We were born to be leaders and grow out of just 'following rules' because following rules isn’t enough," she proclaims.
