Specifically, Walker said that the agency is investigating the use of medical evacuation helicopters as part of the Joint Task Force DC operation. The D.C. National Guard was mobilized earlier in the week to assist in the response to protests that have gripped the nation over the death of George Floyd.
"Since leaving the White House in 1981, Rosalynn and I have strived to advance human rights in countries around the world. In this quest, we have seen that silence can be as deadly as violence," Carter said in the statement. “People of power, privilege, and moral conscience must stand up and say 'no more' to a racially discriminatory police and justice system, immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks, and government actions that undermine our unified democracy,” he added. “We need a government as good as its people, and we are better than this.”
Carter was quick to condemn violence — "But violence, whether spontaneous or consciously incited, is not a solution," the former president said — but also pointed to discriminatory policing as a key issue. He also acknowledged “with sorrow and disappointment” that he was repeating the same calls for an end to discrimination that he’d made nearly 50 years ago when he was inaugurated governor of Georgia.
The former president won strong support from black voters during his time in politics, but came under fire during his first presidential bid for saying the federal government shouldn’t try to change the “ethnic purity” of neighborhoods by putting public housing in middle-class parts of the cities.
That aint good enough. Get rid of them. No self control. Why keep officers around who do that....& I doubt it was the first time they beat somebody. They just got caught. I still can't believe they weren't FIRED. Clean the police up come on man.
aaaaah, cute.... a little hand slap and all is fine...
Should be fired.
JohnVetsResist1 Seriously Wow, big punishment🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💩🔥💩💩💩💩💩💩
Why? Why haven’t they been fired?
Unbelievable times in America because of hatred n racism. Think about this for minute. Who did God put in charge when this free earth was created? Why not take charge of other plants? You are wasting your time and energy.
They should be fired and charged with assault!!!
Here is the video of Australian Journalists being assaulted during the violent clearing of the park so that Trump could have his fake Christian photo op:
They should be sacked and prosecuted
Not enough.
TrueFactsStated Barr's Brownshirts
daffi515 The short guy who thinks he’s a centurion?
mjdibatt87 Fire them and arrest them and charge them. 😡
TrueFactsStated Pathetic. If police act like animals in front of cameras imagine when people ain't recording
UROCKlive1 While anyone else is locked up
Why not fired and charged with assault?
Should be fired and prosecuted for the crime they committed. Assault, Battery, whatever fits.
SoSofieFatale They should be arrested.
Wow, *that'll* teach 'em! They gettin' paid while on admin leave?
i wish i could be placed on administrative duty
Wylie_H_Dallas they should be fired! immediately! we saw what they did. the whole world saw what they did.
Paid vacation
I didn't get why it was such a problem that the officers were seen clubbing until I realized this wasn't the fun kind of clubbing.
They need to be arrested and charged.
So assault and battery gets you a week on the radio, eh?
smartdissent and why weren’t they fired/charged with crimes? the police is CorruptAF
Yeah that’s real action right there. Hey you guys, have a holiday. You beat up some Australian journalists. But that’s OK. Heroic act! (NOT) “go on leave til the heat dies down” Disgusting. Australia 🇦🇺 stands with George Floyd
Fire them.
Means nothing. Union will get them reinstated with double pay.
Should be fired
'... have been given paid vacation until they can get back to beating/killing citizens...' Fixed it for you
smartdissent Uh why just administrative duty? Just another illustration of the problem we are protesting about! 8cantwait
davidfrum Why weren’t they arrested?
They should be extradited to Australia.
There's no more law supremecy in US blacklifematters BlackLivesMatter I_CANT_BREATHE
They should’ve place in prison instead.
That is inadequate.
Administrate deez
davidfrum Names. We want names.
Good.
davidfrum Who is issuing the order to attack journalists? This is what needs to be found out.
Veganforlife111 So...hidden away until this all 'blows over'?
Administrative duty Fuckers should be fired!
Jainiand2cats Paid vacation.
Other officers who punched other reporters are good to go.
Just to pacify Australia
davidfrum How about all the “cops” who attacked AMERICAN reporters? The reporters have to be Australian for right wingers to care?
They should be fired and charged for assault!
Not good enough fire them!!!
Need to fire him, and his friends!
Too soft. Should have been fired.
I think we may have too may psychopaths and sociopaths in the police and military. Open carry is insane
They should lose their jobs. Every officer who attacked a journalist should lose their job. If the police aren’t focused on keeping us safe, they need to be removed so we can build something else instead.
Wow. What next? A strongly worded memo?
In other words, a paid desk vacation.
And how many protesters went to jail?
Fire their asses and arrest them
Trump's stooges.
Fire them
This country is not looking good 😟
I'm sure they were doing something wrong. Like running their mouth and getting in the way. Kitchen gets to hot, get out.
We're Not Against Law & Order, But We Are Against The Law Ordering Us Around. Cops Were Granted Power To Stop Trouble, Not Make It. Like Selling Drugs To Addicts Just To Arrest Them Or Hiding Just To Give $400 Speeding Tickets To Single Parents. They're Out Of Hand & Must Stop!
We Must Form A Citizens Group With Every Race Represented At The Top. We'll Number In The Millions & Be Able To Instantly Boycott & End Greedy Companies. Be Able To Influence Elections & Be The Real Leaders Of This Country. We've Given Away Our Rights, Now Let's Take Them Back!
MelissaJPeltier Why were they not FIRED IMMEDIATELY
MontyBoa99 Harsh warning all international and domestic journalists you are entering a war zone be prepared
That there is the prob. You place them on Admin leave instead of firing those animals. They ll do it again..
Why not fired? I saw the tape It was a BRUTAL attack During a PEACEFUL protest
mitchhalbreich Basically to take a break and cool off!! 😒
MGC3I You have been the main officer posting against police brutality. I hope your brothers and sisters in blue learn a lesson and man/woman up
Thank you!!
FIRED AND PROSECUTED!
Another paid vacation.
THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH ASSAULT!!!!!
It'd be nice if the American citizens who were also assaulted got the same respect as foreign journalists.
Double standard for all the world to see.
Had to read this over a few times. Was wondering why officers were at a club in Australia
That’s what happen everyday in America !.. We being brutalized by imbeciles with blue uniforms I think they’re above the law!.. again these were reports did they not see the cameras or microphones or the credentials!.
I'm looking for a sugar baby who tea is loyal,honest and can talk to me when needed and give me advice With an allowance of $5000 and first 100 to like, follow & rt gets $5000.. SugarDaddySerious text me on Whatsapp +12053869261
Fuck that. The should be fired and arresting for assault. Please reach out to the Australian reporter/company and encourage a lawsuit.
FullHoover Will they be held accountable for brutalizing foreign Dignitaries?
They should be fired!
UROCKlive1 So they get to sit around the office for acouple of days. Whoop-dee-doo.
Administrative duty? What a joke! I dont have the same luxury as a US citizen. I would've been charged and sent to jail. Not told to take some time off while I get paid!!!
But didn't trump's blonde say none of this happened?
davidfrum
good
davidfrum What about all the others who weren't caught on International journalists' video?
UROCKlive1 Nice. Desk jobs. They should be fired & arrested for assault.
davidfrum Tomorrow's NBC headline. US Park Police Officers arrested for beating two staplers and a keyboard during their administrative duties. Property trumps human life in conservative America.
Are you going to follow this? I'm betting they are back to work within a week.
Administrative leave my ass. They belong in the unemployment line like the rest of us 40 million Americans
Weed out all the bad apples. Start with Trump.
MontyBoa99 So, basically, a sweeter gig in air conditioning?
