The writing's on the wall
All empires and tyrants will fall
Too many of us have been killed
We don't need another wake-up call
Out in the streets we gave it our all
Watered by blood and tears, the streets bloomed with rage
The cavalry came, how can we forget
We were the ones they were ordered to attack
All the tear gas made it clear
What we can do when we overcome our fear
Justice and humanity are the truths that inspire
Our desire to set the night on fire

Since the killing of George Floyd in May, Black Lives Matter protests have been going on in Portland for over 70 days. The nightly protests at the federal courthouse were intense, where the protestors were attacked every night for over 70 days with tear gas, pepper spray, flash grenades, rubber bullets, and "non-lethal" projectiles by the police. The police charged that the protestors threw plastic water bottles, eggs, and other objects, set off fireworks, and aimed laser lights at their faces. The protestors also tore down the metal fences erected around the courthouse, and covered the walls with graffiti. The city became a flash point when Trump ordered the federal troops to Portland in early July to protect the federal building and staff from "violent anarchists." The federal troops escalated the violence against the protestors, most of whom were non-violent. They shot a projectile at 26-year old Donovan La Bella, who was standing across the street, holding up a boombox, which caused a skull fracture requiring emergency surgery. They beat and pepper sprayed a 54-year old Navy vet, who was trying to talk to them. They pepper sprayed a 75-year old Vietnam veteran point blank in his face, while he was trying to tell them about his experiences as a medic during the war in Vietnam. For weeks, they attacked the protestors, most of whom were non-violent, with copious amounts of tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and "non-lethal" munitions. The feds also grabbed protestors off the streets, placed them in unmarked vans, and detained them for hours without charge. Their actions alarmed and outraged the mayor, governor, attorney general and other officials, as well as many people in Portland. They saw the intimidating and violent actions of the feds and the police as a threat to their 1st Amendment right to protest. What was at stake had become more than Black Lives Matter; now people were also fighting back against a police state. Suburban "moms," "dads," teachers, doctors, nurses, health care providers, union workers and military veterans joined the BLM protests to form a "wall" to protect the protestors against the feds and the police. They too were attacked by the feds and the cops. About a week ago, Governor Kate Brown reached an agreement with Homeland Security to remove the feds from the courthouse. Since then, the protests at the courthouse have become "peaceful" without violent confrontations. However, other flash points have emerged at various police precincts, where violent clashes between protestors and the police have been reported.

Eliminate the Title: Police and Cops. And shed all things negative within the active body. Remove all negative ideologies as well. Implement New Title: World Peace Officers. Implement New Uniforms with the main color being Dark Leaf Green with Dark Wood Brown logos, with Symbols, or Designs that show Tree Life, such as a Eagle or Owl Perched in a Tree. Why the colors? Uniform colors should be darker versions of colors because it will maintain a cleaner appearance much better, especially when outdoors. Also, Green stands for Growth, and Green and Brown are the main Colors of Trees. Why the Symbolism? Trees Serve and Protect Life; they help provide Oxygen to Breathe…
and are home to many forms of Life around the world. And sure… applicable persons can teach and repurpose an officers role. But i say… Let the Trees be a Teacher as well, and let them be a constant reminder that people need to Breathe… and that Life needs to Flourish. Buildings for World Peace Officers would not be titled: police stations or precincts. Buildings would be Titled: World Peace Initiative, Sector 1, 2 and so on, and it would read that on the buildings and cars. Buildings and cars would be friendly earth tone colors or similar colors to the uniforms. First building to initiate changes is subtitled Sector 1, the next to initiate changes is Sector 2, third building is Sector 3, and so on. Full title for
example would be World Peace Initiative, Sector 1. And At least two beautiful trees should be planted nearby or in the vicinity of every building and if possible, other plants should be around, including small plants on the desks in the offices inside the building and medium plants next to seating and open spaces to give off an aura of life, and discourage the aura of morbidity. World Peace Initiative’s Slogan for all Sectors would be “Peace is a Virtue.” All cars for Sector One would read “World Peace Initiative: Sector 1” and read “Peace is a Virtue.” under those words. The Buildings would exist all over the world, and be interconnected in communication, purpose, peace efforts, and values...

many businesses are closed due to the pandemic. When protests, marches and riots began many of the shops were forced to board up their shop to protect it from vandalism, damages including looting. The pandemic is real! Police brutality is real!

Today I decided I needed to do more. I needed to be involved more. So I grabbed my camera and headed to DTLA for a Black Lives Matter call to action.
I've always wanted to be involved, but didn't know how I could do so and be effective. My camera allows me to document this very powerful and important movement that is important to me on so many levels.

With the death of George Floyd that has sparked national and international attention on crimes against against African Americans by law enforcement officers. As a former law enforcement officer things has to change. Real change means accountability. It's a shame a few bad apples has ruined an honorable profession. {Random Thought 6.9.2020}
A man name George. He mattered. Sacramento remembers George.
Incidents of injustice against African Americans such as what happened to George Floyd is why Colin Kaepernick took a knee. This is why we say “Black Lives Matter”.
George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African American man killed during an arrest after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill in Minneapolis. A white police officer named Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for a period initially reported to be 8 minutes and 46 seconds. After his death, protests against police brutality, especially toward black people, quickly spread across the United States and internationally.

As a African American female former law enforcement officer now Social Services Worker I see both sides of the issue.
Definition of Defund The Police:
"Defund the police" is an American slogan that supports divesting funds from police departments and reallocating them to non-policing forms of public safety and community support, such as social services, youth services, housing, education, healthcare and other community resources.
More funding is definitely needed in social programs.
