Many Black People Say Police Killings Aren't 'Going To Be Fixed Overnight'

The police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosa, Wis., resonated with Roy Divine, who grew up 30 miles from the Milwaukee suburb, but says it "didn't feel that different" than the police killing of George Floyd that sparked nationwide protests earlier this summer.

"It just felt like they all feel: sad and unfortunate and makes you angry, shake your head and just can't figure out why, or how, it is that this keeps happening," Divine said. "And how is it that it seems seemingly okay that this keeps happening, that nothing happens to these people that do these things."

Still, Divine is hopeful.

"This isn't going to be fixed overnight, but I'm optimistic that young folks and the older folks like myself who support them understand and accept that it's going to take some time," he said. "And the change is going to come and we're committed to seeing that change."
