This Cop and Firefighter Boycotted the RNC for a Good Reason. Her Name Is Skylar.
Little Skylar Herbert was so precociously bright and engaging that her kindergarten teacher predicted she would become the first Black female president of the United States.
But Skylar was only 5 when she instead became the first child in Michigan to die from COVID-19. This daughter of a police officer and a firefighter is now a heartbreaking marker of history as it is being made in these dire times.
So, it is only understandable that Detroit Police Officer LaVondria Herbert would have some interest in the part of the saga being played out as the Republican National Convention sought to cast our current president as a hero right out of his own imagination and largely ignoring the pandemic he failed to address.
