00:00Mr. Speaker, we should all be outraged by the murder of Sonia Massey, an unarmed 36-year-old

00:14mother of two who was killed in her own home, clearly struggling with mental illness. The

00:23police officers did not know how to respond. They threatened to shoot her in the face,

00:29and they actually shot her in the face. Sonia Massey should be alive today. Breonna Taylor

00:38should be alive today. Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Ahmed Aubrey, and so many more. We

00:45need transformational police reform now in our country. This officer should have never

00:54been on the job. And as a black man, every time I see another black person, particularly

01:01black woman, killed by law enforcement, it takes a piece of our soul. We have a black

01:08woman running to be president, while black women are being shot and killed in our communities.

01:15Enough is enough. Thank you, and I yield back.
