A large group of protesters chanted loudly as they marched down streets Friday night in downtown Memphis, voicing their frustration and solidarity days after the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who died after a Minneapolis officer pressed his knee into his neck as he pleaded for air.

Floyd’s death, and the killings in past months of a black man in Georgia and a black woman in Kentucky, have led to violent protests in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Columbus, Ohio, and peaceful demonstrations in other cities.

Four Minneapolis police officers were fired and investigations are underway after a white police officer was seen on video kneeling against the neck of Floyd.

Earlier Friday, Mayor Jim Strickland called for an investigation into whether an officer broke any rules after a video surfaced of a woman being knocked to the ground during a Wednesday protest related to Floyd’s death.

Strickland said on social media that he’s asked Police Director Michael Rallings to investigate “an event that occurred Wednesday night with one of our officers and a female protester.”

A concerned Deborah Agong from Diego Martin stood at the back of a long line stretching from the entrance of the Inland Revenue Office at Government Plaza, Wrightson Road, Port of Spain, to the waterfall in the middle of the courtyard.

She told Newsday reporters on September 12 she was there to pay her property tax, but the line was daunting. Knowing the rate at which government offices operate, she wondered if her lunch hour would be enough to get inside the office and make the payment.

“The line hasn’t been moving,” she said. “I think only one or two people went in since I got here, and I have to go back to work.”

She, like a few others, said it would be easier to pay online, but that option is not yet available.

“I think it is a great inconvenience,” she said. “This is a backward step.”

Another Diego Martin resident, who didn’t want to be named, shared that feeling.

“I don’t line up for many things any more,” the resident said. “I do online transactions with the bank, so online payments for property tax would be a big help, just like how they have the system to do income tax online. That is very quick. I think they could do something like that.”

A Curepe resident who didn’t want to be named said she decided to go Government Plaza because she was in the area for work, but the lines made her turn back.

“I got there about 9.20, but there was no line at the entrance. When I went inside I told them what I was going for, and they directed me to the banking hall. But when I got there, I saw about 20 people in front of me.

“I had to go to work,” she said. “I just took the chance to see if I could get it paid quickly.”

Newsday asked if she would have paid already if she had the option to pay online, and she responded: “Yes. Long time.

“From the minute I got that assessment I would have paid it online.

“I have all my banking set up to have my bills paid online. I go to the bank’s portal, put in the account and pay. That way I can track the payments as well.

“I am not going to T&TEC to pay that bill or another place to pay another bill. I just send it through the bank. I pay tradesmen like that.

“So why can’t I pay my taxes like that as well?”

Property owners have until September 30 to pay property tax.

A notice on the door of one of the BIR offices, seen in August, said the office would not accept Linx payments from September 12, because of the close of the financial year. The Finance Ministry also announced online payments may not be available until next year.

A Belmont resident who didn't want to be named said she was only called last Tuesday for valuators to assess her house.

“They called me months ago and said they were trying to find the house, so I told them where to find the place. They said they were just going to do a drive-through. I didn’t hear anything again from them until last Tuesday. They are coming tomorrow to do it.

“I said I hope that you are not going to make me pay interest because of the time you are coming to do the assessment. They said they would give me

Benjamin L. Hooks , in full Benjamin Lawson Hooks (born Jan. 31, 1925, Memphis, Tenn., U.S.—died April 15, 2010, Memphis), American jurist, minister, and government official who was executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from 1977 to 1993.

Hooks attended Le Moyne College in Memphis (1941–43) and Howard University, Washington, D.C. (1943–44; B.A., 1944), served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and later studied law at De Paul University in Chicago (J.D., 1948); no law school in Tennessee was admitting blacks at that time. From 1949 until 1965 he practiced law in Memphis. He participated in restaurant sit-ins of the late 1950s and early ’60s and joined the Board of Directors of Martin Luther King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference, among many other civil-rights and public-service organizations. Ordained a Baptist minister in the mid-1950s, he preached regularly at churches in both Memphis and Detroit, and he won a wide following for his eloquence as a public speaker.

Assistant public defender of Shelby County (Memphis) from 1961, he was appointed judge of Shelby County Criminal Court in 1965, the first African American to hold that position. He was elected for a full eight-year term in 1966, but he resigned in 1968. In July 1972 Hooks was appointed to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and became the first black FCC commissioner. He resigned to become executive director of the NAACP on Aug. 1, 1977, succeeding Roy Wilkins. Hooks also served as the chairman of the board of directors of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and helped to found the Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change at the University of Memphis in 1996. Hooks stressed the need for affirmative action and pressed for increased minority voter registration. He deplored underrepresentation of minorities in media ownership. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore on The Passing of Larry Aubry

It is with great sadness that I heard the news of the passing of Mr. Larry Aubry.

Mr. Aubry and I have met on several occasions throughout my law enforcement career.

Since becoming LAPD’s Chief-nearly two years ago-Larry attended several community meetings and he would challenge many decisions and policies of the LAPD.

He wanted to ensure the decisions of law enforcement was fair to everyone-particularly to those within the African American communities.

Progressive Democratic Patriots' deputy political leader Farley Augustine has described Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis’ explanation about the discrepancies identified in an Auditor General’s report as \"pure rubbish.\"

The Auditor General's report, which covered the period October 2019 to September 2020, expressed concerns about the Tobago House of Assembly's handling of covid19 relief, particularly food card/vouchers and rental assistance programmes.

Dennis responded to the report in a lengthy statement on Monday night.

He said while there are areas for improvement, “I saw nothing in this report which suggests illegal or corrupt activity.

“All we have set out to do is to bring relief to all affected persons in Tobago in a timely manner.”

But Dennis admitted there is need for training of the THA’s management and staff to prevent a repeat of procedural and accounting errors “that have surfaced in this report and previous ones.”

In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Monday, Augustine, who has called for the discrepancies to be thoroughly investigated, said, “That entire press release of response is pure rubbish and excuses for not adhering to the financial regulations and the mandates of the auditor general’s office. It is always an excuse for them.”

He added: “Report after report from the auditor general’s office is damning and all we get are excuses.”

Augustine, who is the representative for Speyside/Parlatuvier/L’Anse Fourmi, complained that the PDP’s assemblymen were never offered emergency social assistance cards to help the vulnerable in their respective electoral districts.

“Were the PDP assemblymen offered any of these social emergency cards? The answer is no.

“Therefore, the act of decentralising the operation is just rubbish. They decentralised it to include party hacks but not all 12 assemblymen.”

Augustine also scoffed at Dennis’ claims that all of the THA’s records regarding the various covid19 relief initiatives were accounted for.

“He claimed that they have all of these records, but why they were not presented for audit?”

He said Dennis must understand that the THA cannot spend money as it wants without process and oversight.

“There are regulations guiding these things. It is not for politicians to decide when and how to obey them.”

The post Augustine slams PNM response to auditor general: 'Pure rubbish' appeared first on Trinidad and Tobago Newsday.
