'NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE.' GeorgeFloyd
This moment demands leadership & accountability from each of us. Defending and making excuses for NYPD running SUVs into crowds was wrong.I spoke with a protester who reinforced what he experienced was police force in response to peace protesting and de-escalation. The 36-year-old Black male says he was near Fulton Mall in Brooklyn at around 11:30 PM"barely protesting, just there" when another protester hit the ground.
Moments later, as he was helping a young man who was bleeding from near his eye, the protester I spoke with was maced. His glasses were knocked off and his mask was torn off. He removed his shirt to use as a mask to both prevent his face from being visible and due to COVID-19 concerns. Shortly before leaving the scene, at around 2 AM, the protester I spoke with used his bottle of water to tend to another protester who had been maced. He reassured the protester that the pain would subside, as it had begun to for him.
Brooklyn this morning. People wait in line 6 feet apart to get into Whole Foods. The walls behind them are tagged BLM and FTP.
