If these businesses remain closed, people in already corona ravaged communities will suffer further indignities and injustices. They will have to travel further to receive much needed medicine, food, or essential goods. Or they will have to wait longer for essentials to be delivered by an already strained postal system. We are all mutually dependent on one another: businesses on people, and people on businesses. Let's repair our communities and heal this NOW!

Civil rights are being obliterated, he supports police in using excessive force, the right for peaceful protest is being squashed by Trump the “The want to be” dictator.

URLEIA sets in place ongoing pattern or practice (POP) investigations in every community throughout the United States. A Pattern or Practice Investigation is the tool the Department of Justice (DOJ) currently uses to curtail unconstitutional policing in local jurisdictions. Investigations are usually commenced by DOJ after highly-publicized use-of-force events such as the shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson or the asphyxiation of George Floyd in Minnesota. URLEIA allows for the early identification and permanent removal of problem officers. URLEIA also introduces a host of new nationwide standards for policing, including a national use-of-force statute, training requirements, monitoring and measurement mechanisms, policies for interfacing with disabled citizens as well as quality standards that give rise to a best-in-class policing culture. URLEIA's foundational principle is "smart policing," which imposes upon law enforcement officers an obligation to preserve life and prevent injury. URLEIA introduces a national data repository that will capture data on every law enforcement agent and entity in the United States, including local policing jurisdictions, jails, prisons, juvenile facilities and private-duty security.

This is to save what is left of the United States. We as Americans have to do our part in making sure we save our country.

The justice system needs to be reformed. We must act to remove those who tarnish the system. We must revisit how we are training police. We must evaluate how the hiring process works. We must enable the so called good police to weed out bad ones. We must end the war on drugs that continues to put non-violent offenders in for-profit prisons.

To preserve the constitution, save the country from further descending into anarchy, chaos, and civil war.

If George Floyd’s murder wasn’t filmed, no one would know what happened. If cops are required to wear body cams, they would be more careful and there would be less killings of innocent black people.

The Trump administration has shown a complete disregard for the Constitution, and openly plans to use violence against the people of this country. There’s nothing more unpatriotic than declaring war against Americans, especially when these protesters are calling on our country to live up to its highest ideals.

It is important for all police departments across the state and the country to show where they stand and to initiate change. We the people are not going to allow injustice to take place any longer.

The statue should be removed or moved to a museum where the tragic history of what it stood for and represented can be taught and will not cause consternation to minorities and people of color. The statue was erected by Patton Anderson in 1924. We were divided then, we now, need to be unified as one Putnam County under God.

These officers must be held accountable, and they must be punished. This must be the last time something like this happens. Police need to know that they are not above the law and will be punished like everyone else if they murder a citizen.
