Let's See. These People Want the Confederate Monuments Taken Down?-- Part 1
The murder of George Floyd was tragic, but so are these.
From the June 2, 2020, ABC News.
** Four police officers shot in St. Louis protests. (Please, let's stop calling these protests. They are clearly riots. But at least we know the riots weren't because of the Confederate monument in Forrest Park which has already been taken down and the reason for my boycott on St. Louis.)
** New York City imposed a curfew to prevent another night of destruction that included the breakin and looting of the iconic Macy's store. People rushed into the Nike store carrying out armloads of good. Wreckage littered the inside of an AT&T store.
** Cicero, Illinois-- Two people were killed during protests. Sixty were arrested. Looters broke into a liquor store and other businesses.
And this wasn't even Chicago where looters attacked the downtown with much destruction over the weekend. And, in the meantime shootings in Chicago, mostly Black on Black for May 31-June 6: Shot and Killed: 27, Shot and Wounded: 117.
** Buffalo, New York-- A vehicle plowed into a group of law enforcement officers injuring at least two.
Follow up on this: Three police officers were injured and the driver and occupants of the car have been caught. They were not white people.
