Written and published night of June 30th EST

In cities, namely Seattle, Washington and Washington DC, zones are being set-up given names that are satires on Capitol Hill. Supposedly they are connected to a 'Black Lives Matter; movement, and perhaps other protesting over racial discrimination.
What is happening is multiple persons are being shot in or around the scenes of the protesting.
For example, Seattle, CHOP zone.
Recently, 17 year old shot fatally.
DC, attempts at statue removal of Andrew Jackson.
Meanwhile the BHAZ zone in the limelight.

In New York, the statue of Theodore Roosevelt being removed might have more complex implications, as some perceive the statue is indicative of stating that Natives and American Indians as a whole, and African Americans as a whole, through the past, present, and future, are a permanent status of subservient to the President, other than Natives, American Indians, and African Americans. That statue has other figures with it.
The statue in Washington of Andrew Jackson-- grievances of him in the past with respect to understandings of his positions on certain ethnic backgrounds are being pitted against the statue. 
What often happens is, a series of events gets underway, the momentum gets going to simply make attempts at debasing the institution of the presidency, as what has been witnessed in about the past 5 years; wherein at this moment, it is foreseeable that momentum can get going by extremists to try to remove all statues of all the Presidents, as the rationales or extremist actions become less and less substantive.

Fireworks:
With numerous persons off work, and the season comes near the 4th of July, persons are bound to engage in fireworks more frequently.
Baltimore, Maryland, no stranger to ongoing fireworks the past few weeks.
Evidently in New York within recent hours a man threw lit fireworks at a person while the victim was sleeping.
There are reports of an abundance of illegal fireworks in southern Nevada area being lit.
Unfortunately, the trend that has been shown the past month is along with the increase of fireworks, is an increase in illegal activity coming with it.

Injuries:

New Orleans police evidently have now been shutting down gatherings of certain sizes in consideration of COVID-19 concerns.

Little Rock, Arkansas, two shootings reported last Friday.

Minneapolis, shooting that left about a dozen injured in dark hours this past weekend in shopping area. A stabbing occurred downtown just hours ago, Monday. Susoect may still be at large as of midnight between Monday and Tuesday.
1600 gunfire reports, https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/06/22/its-just-stupid-police-data-shows-1600-minneapolis-gunfire-reports-within-30-days/.

Over 100 people shot, over a dozen fatally, in Chicago over the weekend, says https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/6/20/21297470/chicago-fathers-day-weekend-shootings-homicide-gun-violence-june-19-22-104-shot, 3 year old boy and 13 year old girl among those fatal.

COVID-19:
Miami, Florida, sees a spike in cases.
Houston, Texas, over 1780 new cases reported in a day, on Monday.

Strange shootings of females:
Two women were reported shot in Florida with the past few days, one in Pompano Beach, the other Miami.
This post and concurrent shootings of other women in cities. 

It may be that women being shooting victims has taken a weird increase in the past few weeks.

Comments on protesting:
By the result of facts, clusters of protesting deserve investigation as to what else is going on in there, reference sectioned off protesting zones and camps. People are camping out, socializing, possibly even fusion with partying, food is being passed out, all kinds of gear is being passed out that increases the ability to do danger to others and protect themselves in the process. Moreover, are instructions being disseminated on ways to attempt to dismantle, debase, and cripple society, especially through unrest and violence?

Background notes:
Drive-by shootings became frequent in certain areas of large cities that were plagued by the illicit cocaine trading industry back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Aspects of a portion of it were assessed to have been gang activity related. Cities like Los Angeles, Washington DC, have impressioned memories of those folds in time.

Disintegration is the last thing that needs to be seen happen to a police department. High level police such as SWAT team members resigning, can both, leave dangerous openings for criminality to take advantage of the situation, and can hurt the emotional cohesion of the entire community.

Florida has a case that has some complexity, as the recent racial equality riots, and others, such as Black Lives Matter, evoked reflections on situations involving use of force from the past, such as a 2014 shooting of an unarmed man in a raid, a suspect who had a history of drug peddling. 

$425,000 was paid out.  Reference the H. Bowe Jr. case, shooting in 2014.

Hallandale Beach SWAT team members, the reported count of ten of them, resignation situation. In the news now.

Floyd Gray incident of alleged force was within recent months, 2020, Minneapolis.

When Freddie Gray died, referring to incident in Baltimore April of 2015, and the rioting that occurred afterward, it was exposed he was sighted multiple times of having caught the eye of police the result of behaviors in previous intermittents.

Atlanta, captured on video as though a movie was being filmed, last Friday night, 27 year old male Rayshard Brooks, was shot twice in the back area-- after, taking a weapon from a police officer, resisting arrest, and took off running. Police officer fired, and accompanying ramifications. Death ruled a homicide, this soon after??

Homicide defined, '..deliberate and unlawful killing..'.

A time-out is needed here. Look carefully at this situation, and the numerous studies of teachings of police work. Number one, when a person has a weapon, and outright disobeys the orders of police, such as to stop running or stop driving, that suspect is considered a danger to others, because, in the realm of possibilities, racial profile aside, age aside, male or female aside, criminal history or lack of, the fleeing suspect is determined to be potentially dangerous to anyone in the surrounding area and community. It is asked, what if the suspect turned and attacked police, another police on the route ahead, attacked an elderly person, or carjacked a vehicle and crashed it, injuring or fatally wounding another driver while intoxicated and so forth?,- which either has or similar events have happened in other incidents.

The pressure is on for police and related officials to be as pacifying as possible given the rioting. Protesting about rioting was already taking place, and peace is definitely needed. Fires were set, such as the food chain where the event emerged from. Albeit, because of the sense of the need to be amenable to the demands of rioters, tried and tested police procedure is being moved away from, and compounding that, there are reductions in numbers of police officers serving.

There were times where an entire town only had one or two police officers. That is all they needed. The point is, that every individual officer counts big. When being trained, fleeing police scenarios might get rehearsed for brevity words, over and over, and the response might have been to shoot to subdue and nothing more. 

Had the suspect been shot, 20 times, or some excessive number, then the issue of excessive force moves into the limelight with more speed. This incident requires an investigation, blind to raciality. For example, what would have happened if the suspect was another ethnicity, or outward appearance, would the results have been different or the same?

Thus far, all abovementioned incidents involved African American males, young to middle aged.

Lawrence, Kansas was the sight of a police chase, altercation, and shooting of a suspect this afternoon. 

Baltimore City police funding changes in different aspects underway, or recent to today.

Identifying the crux of a challenge in a context of perceived racial injustices, while demographics are in a state of change, is ongoing in a number of regions. 

Changes are being made, in different ways, to police units around the US as we speak.

In the same breath, yet another law enforcement agent has succumbed to a shooting.

Same state as resignations over in Hallandale Beach.

Comments: (The officer) ostensibly may be described as African American, or partially, young middle-age, at or near 30 years old.

Will there be mass congregation in the streets by thousands of young African Americans, calling for their own kind to refrain from using guns and taking aim at police officers? A question that most of us already know the unfortunate answer to. It is highly unlikely, and unlikely that the same kind of numbers that have engaged in rioting, will show in support of funeral or recognition. You never know. If minimal amount of respect occurs that it makes the radar screen of the news, it will be good to see, yet, will believe it, when it is seen.


What is right. What is the right balance. ?. Uphold that light, is what is called for now.




Article in progress

Volumes of details have emerged, as well as huge amounts that requisite studying before a presenting a complete global roundup.
In about as brief an outline possible, this is what has happened in the last 3 days:
The USA was reeling from coronavirus and COVID-19, the problem was widespread, from coast to coast and even cases in Alaska and Hawaii.
Several stories broke around the same time having to do with a perceived abuse of force that crossed over the gray area, when police apprehended or made attempt to apprehend suspects, different locations, and the suspects could be, generally described as being African American, or some portion of enough that they might be identified as such, and other racial terminologies with influences borrowed from other languages and cultures that are not American, but being ramrodded anyhow. A salient event took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, about the 25th of May, where a male about age 46, wound up a fatality, after apprehension technique applied. Social media technology, especially cell phones, caught some of the incidents, and footage made their way to social media and the news.
Rioting broke out in many regions of the USA en segue. Certain movements made appearances in certain cities, supposedly having to do with racial equality, however, with slogans at times that could be assessed by some as counter to that goal.
Large amounts of property were destroyed, in the rioting and protesting. There were a fatalities during the rioting.
The rioting started to overshadow the coronavirus, COVID-19 challenges, on the physical space of foremost information set on news, at least in some areas.
A balance then began to level out, of a shared main story, the coronavirus/COVID-19, with racial profiling rioting.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, for conversation summary, starting with Lebanon, rioting more intensified was going on, although maybe not as geographically widespread because of the comparison of basic geographic square miles. While the USA mourned the loss of several suspects undergoing apprehension, law enforcement agents, and other incidents that occurred, totaling to perhaps under 10 persons, in Lebanon, reintensified tensions were taking place over matters reported to be economic and other conditions, exacerbated by coronavirus/COVID-19, and about 50 was the fatality count.
Similar protests, over the economic living and comfort level, have started to emerge in Syria. It was not too long back that rioting was suppressed in Syria, and in response to a certain threshold of suppression, the US dropped an atypical bomb in Syria.
At this moment, both Lebanon and Syria are configuring ways to contend with the rioting. 
Lebanon and Syria sit toward the northwest of Palestine-Israel region, if standing in the middle of the Red Sea. 
And there is the policy issue that has taken root, one which has been since the earliest days of the building Israel as an independent and recognized country with such official name, for instance, since the 1800s, over who and what government, and what nomenclature should occupy that land mass and masses within it, Palestine or Israel. The United States has been involved in the policy tension to varying extents over many years. Upon us currently is a plan, whether precisely a vision, or a proposal at this stage, not gone into here, named Peace to Prosperity, from the White House. In the news now, are statements from the Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, Shtayyeh, that has been 'analyzed' by some news sites as 'counter' some of the content of the White House plan. Culling through every detail, some of the analyses lack complete accuracy because they do not have thorough background embedded in the stories being generated, not that the news sites and entities do not have the capacity to. Altogether, there is a vision being set forth by the US, for a peace plan, and Shtayyeh has made certain statements, reflecting his position on the matter. Are they direct opposites?,- further study of each and every detail could help in making the assessment; at first glance, it seems that there are differing policy objectives which might not run exactly parallel, or the baskets do not even fruits of the same kind to compare.
Another development, with the names the US and Israel being spoken, while this is happening, is that Iran is upholding decisions to execute, as a punishment in enforcing laws pertinent espionage, for certain individuals that are suspected of aiding in the killing of Qasem Sulaimani (Soleimani (disliked spelling variation of transliteration, due to use of the vowel 'o', and ramifying reasons, as Suleiman, or Suleyman, called in alluding to vernaculars of Anglicized form, Solomon, is also a name of a Prophet, and there is Suleiman the Magnificent, neither of which are popularly seen spelled with an 'o')), back in the first few days of January of this year.

Further east and west of holy site, where Al Quds is and many other significant locations, Jordan and Egypt are contending with challenges having to do with coronavirus and COVID-19, which are markedly similar to the US. Black-market sales of plasma from those that have said to have recovered, reported to have started emerging in Egypt. Photos of some of the social distance strategies, such as in the places of worship have surfaced, whereat some Muslim places of worship in the US, or having technical designation as such, still have not taken on some of the strategies.

Media attention has started swinging toward Middle East as the most heightened level of priority competing for the top headlines.

But should they?

The US is creeping ever closer to the 2 million mark, of coronavirus/COVID-19 cases. Logically, and unfortunately, soldiers activated to quell recent racial profiling protesting have been reported to have become infected with coronavirus. Solutions needed, to mitigate that development. To conclude with an outright bottom line is sensitive, notwithstanding, it is understood, and it has been stated by a number of sources, that multiple leaders must refrain from attempting to walk two sides of the street at the same time, in either cleaning up the coronavirus/COVID-19, or laxity thereunto in the effort to maintain a voter base; far too many lives are at stake in the entirety of the tests which have sprung up at the same time.
