I am simply awed by the magnificent gesture by Miami police in the US as the country faces race protests on George Floyd’s death ! President Trump was asking them to dominate the agitators saying that he was ready to deploy the military too !violence was reaching dizzy heights .The president hiding himself in a bunker reveals the extent of fury and might of the protest. The police simply knelt down before the protestors in solidarity with them ! You know what happened ! The protestors came forward and hugged them ! So a simple and sensible gesture by men in uniform and power could tone down the intensity of the problem which would have cost the nation umpteen number of bullets, dollars, lives and livelihoods too ! Probably, this act would go down the pages of history and may help rewriting it at a time when the world is grappled with crises of unmanageable proportions-some natural and some man made !
What George Floyd did is indisputably wrong.But the treatment meted out to him is inhuman ! Imagine for a while the officer simply taking him into custody and following the due procedures ! What an amount of undue damage to lives and livelihoods, would have been saved !Unfortunately some police officers too lost their lives in the riots. It is needless to say that people in power should act wise for the things not to be otherwise !
See you again with my next post at 9 pm tomorrow
