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 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 in these dire times.
It would be understandable if Detroit police officer LaVondria Herbert watched with interest as the Republican National Convention sought to cast President Trump as a hero right out of his own imagination, while largely ignoring the pandemic he failed to address.
