WASHINGTON – Protesters are expected to gather in Washington for a huge demonstration on Saturday as street marches across the United States over the killing of a black man in custody enter a 12th day and authorities move to rein in policing tactics.
Some activists have called on social media for a million people to attend Saturday’s rally in the U.S. capital. A federal judge in Denver ordered city police to stop using tear gas, plastic bullets and other “less-than-lethal” devices such as flash grenades, with his ruling citing examples of protesters and journalists being injured by police.
In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo said his state should lead the way in passing “Say Their Name” reforms, including banning choke-holds and making police disciplinary records publicly available. In another sign of how attitudes have changed, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league had made mistakes in not listening to players, in a video denouncing racism in the United States.
But the decision was met with pushback from the officers’ colleagues, with all 57 members of the police tactical unit quitting that unit in protest at their treatment.
Protest my ass. It's not about Floyd anymore. It's about antifa trying to destroy the country.
