President is prepared to take. U. S. Park police and others near Lafayette Park used tear gas, flash bang grenades and rubber bullets to aggressively push back a peaceful crowd 30 minutes before the d. C. Curfew went into effect.

They speak to a nation where too often just the color of your skin put your life at risk. They speak to a nation where more than 100,000 people have lost their lives to violence, 40 million have filed for unemployment with a disproportionate number of those deaths and job losses concentrated in black and brown communities. They speak to a nation where every day millions of people, and millions, not a moment of losing the light but in the course of living the life are saying to themselves, i cant breathe. Its a wakeup call to our nation in my view. Its for all of us, and i mean all of us. Its not the first time we heard those words. They are the same words we heard from eric garner when his life was taken away six years ago. But its time to listen to those words come to try to understand them, to respond to them, respond with
