The protests that began after the death of a black man in the United States were held on Sunday seven days throughout the United States. In a series of protests, too much response by police officers became a problem, and Mayor Debrasio of New York mentioned reducing police budgets.
In the United States on the 7th, demonstrations were held in places such as New York in the east, Atlanta in the south Georgia, and Los Angeles in the western California, albeit on a smaller scale and number than last Saturday. According to local media, there is no major confusion such as looting, which was a temporary problem.
Of these, hundreds of people gathered at Times Square in central New York, protesting against racism while holding a placard stating, "Skin color is not a sin."
In a series of protest demonstrations, excessive response by police officers became a problem, and there were calls for police reform and budget cuts. Next to the slogan "Life is important," the word "Discontinue the police budget" was added.
Under such circumstances, Mayor Debrascio of New York said at a press conference on the 7th, "We are allocating a part of the police budget to the youth and the field of social service as one of the reforms," and referred to the reduction of the police budget. ..
In the United States, a former white police officer accused of murder is to appear in a Minneapolis court on the 8th, local time, in a case that triggered a protest.
