In her Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/darnellareallprettymarie\/posts\/1727632277437871\"><span class=\"s1\">post<\/span><\/a> on Tuesday, she wrote, \u201cA year ago, today I witnessed a murder. The victim\u2019s name was George Floyd. Although this wasn\u2019t the first time, I\u2019ve seen a black man get killed at the hands of the police, this is the first time I witnessed it happen in front of me. Right in front of my eyes, a few feet away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She added that she was \u201cnot even prepared for what I was about to see, not even knowing my life was going to change on this exact day in those exact moments\u2026 it did. It changed me. It changed how I viewed life. It made me realize how dangerous it is to be Black in America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have to walk on eggshells around police officers, the same people that are supposed to protect and serve. We are looked at as thugs, animals, and criminals, all because of the color of our skin. Why are Black people the only ones viewed this way when every race has some type of wrongdoing? None of us are to judge. We are all human.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Frazier added that a part of her childhood was taken from her and she had to leave home because her it \u201cwas no longer safe,\u201d adding that she was waking up to reporters at her door.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She said that she had \u201cpanic and anxiety attacks every time I seen a police car, not knowing who to trust because a lot of people are evil with bad intentions,\u201d adding that a \u201clot of people call me a hero even though I don\u2019t see myself as one. I was just in the right place at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She continued, \u201cEven though this was a traumatic life-changing experience for me, I\u2019m proud of myself. If it weren\u2019t for my video, the world wouldn\u2019t have known the truth. I own that. My video didn\u2019t save George Floyd, but it put his murderer away and off the streets. You can view George Floyd anyway you choose to view him, despite his past, because don\u2019t we all have one? He was a loved one, someone\u2019s son, someone\u2019s father, someone\u2019s brother, and someone\u2019s friend. We the people won\u2019t take the blame, you won\u2019t keep pointing fingers at us as if it\u2019s our fault, as if we are criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThese officers shouldn\u2019t get to decide if someone gets to live or not. It\u2019s time these officers start getting held accountable. Murdering people and abusing your power while doing it is not doing your job. It shouldn\u2019t have to take people to actually go through something to understand it\u2019s not ok. It\u2019s called having a heart and understanding right from wrong,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She concluded by addressing Floyd directly, saying, \u201cGeorge Floyd, I can\u2019t express enough how I wish things could have went different, but I want you to know you will always be in my heart. I\u2019ll always remember this day because of you. May your soul rest in peace. May you rest in the most beautiful roses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jury-finds-derek-chauvin-guilty\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;by The Daily Wire in April, after a little over 10 hours of deliberation, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in relation to the death of Floyd. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On May 25, 2020, Chauvin and three other officers arrested and detained Floyd after he allegedly gave counterfeit money at a convenience store. Following a struggle to get Floyd into the back of a police cruiser, viral video shows that&nbsp;Chauvin kneeled on Floyd\u2019s neck and back for nearly nine minutes to detain Floyd while awaiting paramedics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
