Freedom of Speech and Censorship
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas, said George Floyd's "purpose and his assignment" is to bring justice to the US.
She continued: "What I will say is that the assignment of George Floyd and the purpose will mean there will be no more 8:46 of police brutality," a reference to the amount of time — 8 minutes and 46 seconds — that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck.
"There will be no more 8:46 of injustice and the mistreatment of African American men at the hands of the laws of this nation or anyone else. There will be no more 8:46 that you will be in pain without getting justice."
Rep. Jackson Lee said that's Floyd's "assignment" has turned into a "purpose." She said people around the world "are rising up that will never sit down until you get justice."

So let hypocrite

"George Floyd was not expendable"
Rep. Al Green, Democrat from Texas, said during the funeral, "George Floyd was not expendable. This is why we're here."
He continued: "His crime was that he was born black. That was his only crime. George Floyd deserved the dignity and the respect that we afford all people because they're children of a common god and it is very unfortunate we have to be here, but we celebrate the life of George Floyd today."
During his address, Green held up a box containing a folded US flag and said, "I want the United States of America to respect George Floyd," adding, "That is why this flag is flown."
Green said that he will present the family with a resolution that will become part of congressional record. "George Floyd changed the world. And we are going to make the world know that he made a difference," he said.
He called for the federal government to create a department of reconciliation. "We survived segregation, but we didn't reconcile," he said. "It's time for a department of reconciliation in the highest land."

Using the people as collateral damage

Colorado Senate Democrats pass police reform legislation
Colorado Senate Democrats said in a statement they passed police reform legislation.
"After years of resistance from Republicans and law enforcement, Dems bring stakeholders to the table and get police reform bill over the line," the statement said. "SB20-217 focuses on bringing transparency and accountability to policing by codifying multiple sweeping reform measures, including requiring the use of bodycams, outlawing chokeholds as a method of apprehension, and ensuring that bad officers are terminated and banned from the force permanently."
Now that the state Senate passed the bill, it will go to the House.
The bill ends the use of qualified immunity, which Colorado Democrats said "has been shielding bad actors from civil responsibility for years."
Officers also have a duty to intervene when excessive force is being used, according to the statement.
"In so many cases of unacceptable police violence, other officers were present and did nothing to halt the incident — supporting a bystander's culture that allows abuse to continue," the statement read.
The bill outlined protections for protesters and limits when and how police can use projectiles and chemical agents against crowds, according to the statement.
It also required compiling data and publicly reporting incidents "surrounding use of force, stops and searches of civilians, and forced entries into homes."

“ We are calling you out!” Alexandria Williams, co-founder of the group’s Toronto chapter, shouted through a megaphone as the Black Lives Matter float came to a halt and marchers sat down. Amid rainbow-colored smoke bombs, she accused event organizers of harboring “a historical and current culture of anti-blackness” — a curious claim considering how the festival welcomed Black Lives Matter as “guests of honor.”

DC Council passes emergency police reform bill
The DC Council today unanimously passed an emergency bill to reform policing in the district, including measures that ban the use of tear gas and rubber bullets, and prohibit the hiring of officers who were fired from another police department.
The legislation prohibits DC police from using chemicals such as tear gas and pepper spray on protesters, as well as “less-lethal projectiles” like rubber bullets and stun grenades.
The bill also prevents the Metropolitan Police Department from hiring law enforcement officers who were fired from a policing job in another jurisdiction, or resigned ahead of pending disciplinary action or termination.
Tuesday’s vote enacts the changes for 90 days, the Washington Post reported, which can be extended to 225 days with a second vote. The council must hold public hearings and vote again in order to make the measures permanent.
Council member David Grosso wanted an additional amendment capping the city’s police force at 3,500 members. However, Grosso’s fellow members voted that down. The district currently has 3,863 sworn officers.
