This is my country in pain.

This is like Charlottesville, Virginia only worse. What is it with men attempting to subdue protesters with motor vehicles? There was an NYPD that also drove a police vehicle into a crowd. Somehow a police vehicle is supposed to protect life and not attack it.

The death of George Floyd was more of the tragedy coming out of cities that experience racism in their police force. This has gone on too long and there is no justice for the minority people when it comes to being assaulted by police.

The country is scared of the police. I don't believe it is exclusive to African Americans. There isn't anything I could present tonight that is going to make it better. It is not up to me to make it better. Or even try to introduce ideas that might make it better. The cities minorities need to heal. Some are doing so by cleaning up the streets after protests. Some are even being joined by their local police in those protest marches.

Police officers (click here) in one of New Jersey's largest and most violent cities were praised on social media for marching alongside protesters in rallies held this weekend over George Floyd's death. (May 31).

Governor Cuomo stated today that local authorities involved in assessing incidents of deaths whereby a police officer(s) is/are involved has proven to be ineffective and an independent investigator has to be mandated by law. It should be done because the truth is there is no justice for these deaths. There is such a thing as a bad cop.

Racism in the USA exists. I want my country to heal.

Good night.

“It doesn’t appear any protesters were hit by the truck,” the Department of Public Safety said. The driver was arrested and taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries....
