When I saw the video from Buffalo, it made me sick to my stomach. Where was the threat? How can you walk by a person when there’s blood coming out of his head? It’s fundamentally inhumane & frightening.
This is a moment for change. NY will lead the way.
The vast majority of protesters are peaceful.
They are separate & distinct from the criminals who are opportunistically using this situation for their own purposes.
Criminal activity & looting MUST stop. Not only is it illegal—it distracts from the point of the protests.
There are those who want to intentionally blur the lines between peaceful, legitimate protesters and looters.
The president is among them.
They want you to watch the videos of the looting — not the video of Mr. Floyd being murdered.
Don't fall for it.
It's disrespectful to our frontline workers – and to your neighbors – not to wear a mask in public when you can't socially distance.
Why? Because you don't wear a mask to protect yourself. You wear one to protect others.
Want to know the best way to honor our brave health care workers some of whom literally gave their lives to save others?
Act responsibly and wear a mask outside.
