There has been a lot of conversation revolving around law enforcement’s interactions in Black communities and with people of color.
While, it was expected that Black males would be the majority of those who responded, I was surprised to see the number of women that had guns pointed in their faces by members of law enforcement.
Additionally, the mental health aspect of having a member of law enforcement to point a loaded gun in your face, while threatening verbally to kill you, is a traumatic event for most.
The policies set forth for many years prior to me being elected to the General Assembly has created a deep framework into the fabric of our state and nation that empowers law enforcement to act in the manor that has become the norm in black households.
The fact that a Black mother has to educate her Black child at a very young age further contributes to the fear and distrust that they associate with the sight of law enforcement.

However, David O. Freedman, M.D., professor emeritus of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, shares tips for traveling in the safest manner possible for you and the health of other riders as well.
“First and foremost, wearing a mask at all times is a critical way to protect yourself and others.
With proper wear, it blocks droplets from your sneezes or coughs and minimizes opportunities for you to touch your face and either spread or come into contact with the virus from other people.
This includes staying at least six feet from others when entering and exiting the ride, at ticket stations, and in other high-traffic areas riders may find themselves in during the journey.
If possible, Freedman suggests modifying typical routes to take a less crowded way that may avoid hotspot areas in a city, although this may not always be an option.
Nationwide — Travis Miller, an African American delivery truck driver from Oklahoma City, was brought to tears as he recorded his encounter with a white man who demanded to know why he was inside his gated neighborhood.
Miller started recording the incident in a Facebook Live video.
In the video, Miller is seen narrating the situation that they were in before he asked the man to move the car that was blocking them.
The man refused and went on to question Miller and his co-worker about why they were in the neighborhood, not allowing them to leave.
After confirming the delivery from Miller’s customer, the two men let them go.
For too long now the kleptocrats have enjoyed impunity for their actions.
Like the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, the kleptocrats of the 21st century live high on the hog.
Modern kleptocrats, whether found in politics, government or business, prefer investing in numbered bank accounts in safe tax havens.
Kleptocrats invest in prime real estate and blue-chip stocks, shares and bonds via their trusts with a little loot also disappearing on fast cars, slow horses and loose living.
As followers of the Abrahamic traditions and students of ancient Egypt know, the pharaohs were jolted out of their lifestyles by...

Donald McHenry is a diplomat, scholar, corporate governor and educator who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (UN). Because the hospitals of his home town, East St. Louis, Illinois, where he would grow up, were segregated, McHenry was born in St. Louis, Missouri on October 13, 1936. After his parents divorced he and his two siblings were raised by their mother.
McHenry received his bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University in 1957, and his master’s degree from Southern Illinois University in 1959. He found his niche in diplomacy and international affairs between 1963 and 1971, while working at the U.S. Department of State in its Office of Dependent Area Affairs. While there, he received its Superior Honor Award in 1966.
From 1971 to 1973 McHenry served as a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and scholar at the Brookings Institution, and in 1973 he worked on humanitarian policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He joined President-elect Jimmy Carter’s Presidential transition team in 1976, and in 1977 President Carter sent him to the UN where he served for two years as Deputy Representative to the UN Security Council. He was then appointed as U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN with rank of Ambassador, a position he held as part of the President’s Cabinet from 1979 to 1981.
Ambassador McHenry has served on numerous corporate boards, commencing in 1981 when he became the first African American to be appointed to the board of the Coca-Cola Company. As the inaugural chair of Coca-Cola’s Public Issues and Diversity Review Committee, McHenry also led corporate efforts to improve internal opportunities.
Because of Ambassador McHenry’s leadership and diplomatic experience, President Bill Clinton appointed him as Special Envoy to Nigeria from 1994 to 1996, where he led efforts to mediate unrest in that country. In 1998 UN Secretary General Kofi Annan tapped Ambassador McHenry to join a delegation to travel to Algeria to gather information and provide guidance on the
LAGOS, Nigeria (AFP) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has faced a jihadist insurgency and economic recession, but youth protests that have spiralled into widespread unrest appear to be his biggest challenge yet. The 77-year-old former military ruler has drawn fierce criticism for his slow response as the shooting of demonstrators unleashed chaos in Africa's largest city, Lagos.
The surge in Tesla’s shares so far this month moved Elon Musk’s company even closer to displacing Toyota as the world’s most valuable car maker.
With a market capitalisation of more than US$190-billion, Tesla still has some distance to close to reach Toyota’s $212-billion valuation, which includes treasury shares.
A rally of about another 14% in Tesla shares could see it claim the crown if Toyota holds steady, with Tesla already up 23% since the beginning of June.
It’s now worth more than twice the German rival
Tesla climbed another 9% on Wednesday to close above $1 000 for the first time as Musk, the CEO, told employees it was “time to go all out” and put its Semi truck into volume production.
Toyota’s market valuation includes the 14.3% of shares that Toyota itself holds as treasury stock, worth around $30-billion.
