Pay attention family. Most of you probably didn’t know this even happened or why.
Before deputy Clyde Kerr III took his own life Monday outside the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana, he left haunting final words in a series of social media videos.
Kerr, a father and military veteran, was 43 years old.
In Kerr’s videos, he talked directly to the camera on a range of issues, from police brutality against Black people and mental health needs in policing, to division in society and children’s exposure to murder, violence and other negative or traumatic influences. He also describes his struggle to reconcile his identity as a Black man with his profession while hinting at his impending suicide.
Kerr said he was done serving a system that doesn’t care about people like him.
“You have no idea how hard it is to put a uniform on in this day and age with everything that’s going on,” he said.
“My entire life has been in the service of other people … y’all entrust me to safeguard your little ones, your small ones, the thing that’s most precious to you, and I did that well. I passed security clearance in the military … but that has allowed me to see the inner workings of things.”
The videos show a man who professed he was upset by the state of society: “I’ve had enough.”fb

Judging by the one video, what a huge, huge loss this was.

If we could only see and understand each other’s sorrows and sufferings, maybe we could reach out and help at the right timing.

The times we are living in are awful. There is no true peace or love. We must pray without ceasing. For me I walk and talk God through our Lord and savior, in his name. 🙏

Many well to do people bill so privileged above those who suffer or who are less fortunate.
Someone could have helped but the hearts of the world sr growing colder.
“From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” comes from Luke 12:48

Liberals do so much damage, and they are too ignorant to realize it! But. it’s really up to sane, rational, thinking, responsible people to put an end to this nonsense! I feel terrible that this man felt so much despair that he committed suicide.
