There is a report that the Pentagon is issuing orders to their police to report to Minnesota. I caution all parties involved to prevent violence.
The demonstrations that have continued is in the process of making these demonstrations permanent until there is more benevolence in minority communities. The best example of that is France and a long sustained protest. The USA is not France.
I thank any and all police that openly speaks out against the death of George Floyd. The unwarranted deaths of African Americans at the hand of law enforcement is painful, teaches the wrong lesson to our young people and provides a platform for hate to grow on both sides.
