A demonstration protesting the death of a black man who was killed by a police officer in the United States was held in various places on the 13th day of the third weekend, calling for social reform such as police reform and eradication of racism The movement continues.
In this case, a black man was killed by a police officer holding his head for more than eight minutes, and demonstrations protesting police response and racism are spreading from the United States to all over the world.
On the 13th, the third weekend after the incident, protests were held in the United States in major cities such as New York, the capital Washington, and Seattle.
Demonstrations were called at more than 10 places in the center of New York, and about 500 people, mainly young people, gathered in Central Park and walked along the main streets of the city, saying "life of black people is important" and "peace without realization of justice" There is no such thing".
Regarding the protest demonstration, statues and memorials such as Confederate leaders who supported slavery at the time of the Civil War were pulled down and authorities were removed in various parts of the United States, and the state parliament in Southern Kentucky on the 13th There is also widespread movement against racial discrimination going back in the past, such as the removal of the Confederate presidential image that was installed at the time.
Nearly 20 days after the incident, the number of cities and participants where protests are held has decreased, but demonstrations are still being done in various places, and movements for social change such as police reform and eradication of racism Continues.
Demonstration participant "The law that changes the way police treat citizens"
A white woman who participated in the protest demonstrated, "Black people should not be marginalized and neglected in society. It is a pleasure that many people speak out for them regardless of their skin tone or age. We need legislation that will change how the police treat citizens, especially the blacks," he said.
A young black woman asked about why she participated in the demonstration: “I was tired of the too many innocent blacks being killed. Protest now so that future children can stay safe. I am giving it."
There is also a move to reassess the way by the police budget cut
At the protest demonstration on that day, the participants who put up a placard that meant "the police budget was cut off" stood out.
It follows the allegations that city councilors in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the west of a black man's death, should dismantle police and build a new security system.
However, among the people, the view that police dismantling is unrealistic is predominant, and many local media say that they should cut a part of the budget and allocate it to education and medical care while reassessing the state of police. I'm telling you it's a claim.
In fact, the Mayor of the New York Police Department, which is the largest in the United States, announced that Mayor Debrasio would dedicate a portion of the police budget to youth, medical care, and welfare, followed by the city council leadership's $6 billion. Approximately 650 billion yen), 1/6 of the police budget, which is one billion dollars, has been announced.
Governor Cuomo of the State of New York also called on all police in the state to submit plans to improve relations with the community by April next year, and at a press conference on March 13, " The state will not be able to budget the state if it is not shown."
