“Another Saturday and another protest in the Village. Rumor has it the police overtime bill is nearing $40,000k if not more. So it looks like whether or not you support the BLM agenda, you will be paying for it in your tax bill.

A citizen oversight commission last week directed Milwaukee’s police chief to publicly account for why the department used tear gas during protests in late May and early June after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and to change Milwaukee’s police policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray.

It’s great that young people are out protesting and showing solidarity with another group of people but I wonder how well informed they truly are and whether they and their parents (and some commentators here) are able to separate the basic, laudable idea that Black Lives Matter and the BLM organization/leadership, which has a distinctly socialist/radical streak which is much less acceptable to informed, mature adults. I suspect not.

Ramsey NJ, Today, Frank Pallotta, Republican candidate for New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, issued the following statement:

“All Americans can agree that the shocking death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer was sickening, and unacceptable. When I saw the video, I was horrified that one human being could so mercilessly treat another in that manner – particularly someone in a position of trust and power. Our treasured First Amendment protects the rights of all Americans to lift their voices in prayer and protest for change,” said Pallotta.
