Dakota Walton, 7, visited along with her father the Wendy’s location of the deadly shooting of Rayshard Brooks by a police officer. The location would turn into a location of protest. Even Atlanta rapper Lil Baby used the location for a front page cover for Rolling Stone Magazine. The protest of Rayshard Brooks would soon became a memory and life moved on. Black people wondered when the story would happen again. Then came James Blake, then Dijon Kizzee, then the footage of Daniel Prude was released. The tension continued in a country that black people have always felt treated them like second class citizens.
