Rip...

let looting rip.   Just a thought.

Deplorable...

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said 

“There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people. 

His comments, came in a virtual town hall with young Americans that was hosted by his campaign and joined by the actor Don Cheadle. The former vice president fielded questions from several young African Americans. The discussion addressed issues of race and police violence.

Biden said, “Hate didn’t begin with Donald Trump. It’s not going to end with him.” After saying that he would take responsibility for his actions as president and address major problems, Biden posed the question of whether the nation was as good as it could be.

Biden was in power and didn't do much.

Republicans pounced on Biden.

“Who is he including in that?” tweeted Donald Trump Jr. “Christians who want to go to church? Small biz owners trying to save their companies? Because something tells me, he’s not talking about the looters burning down communities!”

Failure...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared Saturday that New York “crushed” the curve and “did the impossible” as the state begins to re-open.

New York was one of the states hardest hit by the novel coronavirus, with more than 30,000 deaths, despite implementing a harsh series of lockdown measures in response that has seen businesses, schools and recreation activities shuttered for months.

A scathing Associated Press report last month found more than 4,300 coronavirus-infected elderly patients were sent to vulnerable nursing homes. The state has estimated that more than 5,000 nursing home and long term-care facility patients have died from coronavirus.

It has led to calls for the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the nursing home deaths. Cuomo and his administration have tried to deflect that criticism, saying it was following guidelines issued by the Trump administration.

Cuomo didn't have to follow anyone's advise... he always do whatever and claim the consultant said it can't be done. When failure arrived, It is someone's else advise.

Just a thought.

Far...

Karl...

 Michigan Supreme Court unanimously sided with a barber who reopened his shop last month in defiance of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus lockdown order.

The high court ruled that the state appeals court made mistakes in its decision to shut down 77-year-old barber Karl Manke. The appeals decision was not unanimous and did not afford Manke oral arguments to defend himself, the court said.

“It is incumbent on the courts to ensure decisions are made according to the rule of law, not hysteria.” Justice David F. Viviano wrote in his opinion. “One hopes that this great principle — essential to any free society, including ours — will not itself become yet another casualty of COVID-19.”

This is David vs. Goliath case.

Depravity...

Any time large groups of angry people gather spontaneously, property damage is common. Most race scholars argue that unprovoked police violence against peaceful protesters is the larger societal problem, and no amount of stolen merchandise will ever equal the loss of even a single human life. 

Still, “the looting that takes place in these situations is usually interpreted as evidence of human depravity,” the sociologists Russell Dynes and E. L. Quarantelli wrote in their seminal study on looting in 1968, another year in which protests resulted in widespread property damage and death. 

The sentiment in some corners seems to be, If only they would just march peacefully, and not loot, we’d be fine with this.

When, What, where and How to. There is a time for every thing. Looting is not one of them.

Pushed...

The man, identified as Martin Gugino, seen walking towards a line of police officers in riot gear advancing forward.  

As he gestured to one of the cops, others yelled for him to move back. They listen to him for 30 second  and was pushed in the chest, knocking him over backward. 

One officer appeared to call the ambulance for assistance. Two officers were suspended.

Fifty-seven officers  resigned in  disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders," Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans told WGRZ.

Mayor Byron Brown said he wants the two suspended officers to get due process. "I am not calling for them to be fired."

Speaking of the injured man, the mayor said, "He was asked to leave numerous times last night."

Police felt that it was important to clear the area before fights broke out among the protesters, the mayor said. He stressed that the instructions from the police managers to officers was to be careful, protect residents and use common sense.

Recover...

New York City saw its first day without any confirmed deaths from the coronavirus on Wednesday, according to new data from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The city reported its first confirmed Covid-19 death on March 11, and the number peaked on April 7 when 590 coronavirus patients died in New York City, according to the city's data. Confirmed deaths have been steadily declining since then, falling below 100 on May 9 for the first time since March 24.

.The milestone marks a hopeful point in the recovery of the city, which was the initial epicenter of the U.S. outbreak. It also represents a turning point in the country's epidemic, as restrictions on individual movement and businesses has driven down the spread of the virus in the hardest-hit cities such as New York.
