Moses, Minneapolis, & Not Fearing the Truth

Usually, the endless stream of videos showing violence and unrest of all sorts do not make the impression on me that the multiple angles of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good have had. It is a brutal reminder that terrible and tragic things can happen in an instant on an average-looking street in the middle of the day, right outside your house.
