black lives matter

And so do the lives of all other races. The problem facing American society seems to be that those who are in a position to make laws for the benefit of all are unwilling to change. The root cause of this is that they do not want to be responsible for their decisions.

Is there an organization in the US where a complaint can be filed against the police or any other government department?

A government department should not be a law in itself; I suspect that behind all this there is an unwillingness to be responsible for their decisions.

There should be an independent body that deals with complaints and is accountable for its actions.

Politicians say all the right things, but they need to follow through with some kind of action.

President Trump has received a lot of criticism for his handling of the “Black Lives Matter” protest, but this problem has been going on for decades. Joe Biden has been in politics for a long time and has done nothing to address the issue of racism and the plight of those who are disadvantaged in society. He was part of the Barack Obama administration during the time of the race riots that occurred when Obama was president.

Protest organizers must compile a list of things they want to see happen and present it to the president; maybe use it as part of a petition.

“Justice for George Floyd” has been said many times during the protests, which basically means taking revenge on the officers responsible for his death; I’m not sure if that’s what Floyd would have wanted. That alone will not change the plight of blacks. However, what will be an acknowledgment by the president that they have not been treated fairly.

What the president and state governors need to do is tell the people, “This is what we’re going to do to change the plight of the underprivileged,” but I’m not holding my breath for years of inaction and empty words from one. government after another. The governments of other countries must pressure the United States to change and say, “This is not right.”

During the apartheid years in South Africa, governments around the world pressured their athletes not to participate in sporting events involving South Africans. It is an example of how the world can come together in common cause.

It takes a leader to pick up the bar and run with it in the same way that Jacinda Ardern led the campaign for social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to take more responsibility for their content after the Christchurch mosque shootings.

But this is simply not happening, rather the protests have turned into a shouting match instead of meaningful dialogue. The protesters must tell the governments of their respective countries what they would like to see happen and the politicians must listen because they were voted to serve us, the citizens.
