Patrisse Cullors - ABC11 News "Black Lives Matter co-founder says what protesters want is simple: Accountability"

ABC11 News | June 2, 2020

“Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement and the chair of Reform L.A. Jails, told ‘Nightline’ that at the core of what protesters across the country are demanding, is accountability.

’They want to see the arrest of all the officers involved [in the murder of George Floyd]. They want to have no more terror, no more police terror in their communities,’ Cullors said. ‘Everybody wants to be apologized to. Everybody wants to be told, “I'm sorry. What I did was wrong. It was unacceptable. We won't do it again and, in fact, this is how we change.”’

But grieving communities don't often receive that kind of apology and acknowledgement, she said.

’We barely get a sorry, we rarely get accountability and we never get change,’ she said. ‘So what are people to do?’"
