June 25, 2025, Russell Senate Rotunda in DC the site of dozens arrested protesting Medicaid cuts.
Protesting trends right through here, regardless of what they are reported to be about, is an increased concern. There are at least several protest themes going on concurrent, such as issues in the Middle East, immigration, and government spending, that may become conduits for uncomfortable activities near the national government seat Capitol Hill.

Restoring Order a Priority in Certain US Cities

July 6, 2020
Atlanta:
  • Number of fatalities
  • What were supposed to be self-style vigilantes now beyond unruly
  • Mayor comes down with COVID-19
Response underway


Chicago:
  • A 4th of July day, spoiled. The 4th itself, essentially never spoiled. It is asked how could almost 90 shootings occur in one weekend, on any weekend, moreover, on the 4th weekend?
This requires more than just a measured response, law enforcement and community leaders 'doing everything they can', a long term strategy for sustainment of peace is needed


New York City:
The extent of violence this past 4th weekend, is not acceptable just because of new norms and new shallow standards. No, there were not 100 people, shot, there were roughly half that many. That does not mean it is not enough to the situation that it should not be turned around completely the other direction. NYC has it under control?, 'it is a big city, many people, crime is rife generally through here';-- stop, what happened was far out of the box of what can be assessed as natural world patterns.

Give an estimate, 30 firearms were fired, each one or two shots, to total 50. Each weekend another phenomenon of high crime numbers. Major firearm accountability, legal or illegal firearms, registered, unregistered, amateur made, or renown brands purchased at a gun store, a major, prodigious effort has to be made to get a grapple hold on all these firearms being fired over petty matter.
Is there one report that says a firearm was discharged over a patriotic matter or in the service to country?


New Orleans:
Historic New Orleans is all that has to be said. Are multiple homicides on any given day, reference today, the picture of historic New Orleans?


Houston:
Road rage incident last night Sunday, firearm involved; unbelievable, but believable in the context of considering the types of crimes that have been going on in the area the past couple of years


Seattle:
The largest city in the most northwestern place of the continental US, a place to enjoy life, now taking on a new description, of unenjoyable and unpleasant. 
Rioting ongoing, and violence within that construct ongoing. Different people making different points, trying to get their voice heard, in the end, one fellow man harms another, and after the moment is over, rioting and discontent continues, virtually nothing changed, nothing got better. It is as though the only thing that got accomplished was harm to one another.
It was very strongly recommended, and being recommended again, stop the rioting and protesting. 


Minneapolis:
A pregnant woman shot ? ? [Incident while she was sitting in her car last Sunday night.] This is weeks after the reportedly neck pressure incident in that city that is cited as sparking and eventually leading to nationwide rioting for racial justice; the question now is, and the same in many other locations where African Americans are ruthlessly murdering other African Americans, many times with a firearm, where is the burn for the discipline to refrain from the violent oppression on each other, of their own kind within? Natural reaction, is assessments get made of the totality of events, and the level of genuineness of some protesters supposedly being active about racial injustice and oppression, and a struggle to protect the livelihood of African Americans, wind up getting called into question.


Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, AL:
  • Incidents involving firearms
Similar to the comment just above, applied to a mall, it might be that making some changes to the mall itself could affect the dynamics of some of the types of incidents that occur there


Some of the crime discussed here may be a manifestation of lust of drugs gone way too far, some of it not even a lack of morality but no connection to morality to start with, some of it may be craziness an outgrowth of the previous two. It was not always here to this extent, and so, it may be able to go away, it is something that can be made to go away, therefore it should be made to leave.

And before it be forgotten, never forgotten by the parents of the victims, how any children under 15 years old were lost to gun violence this past weekend, this past week, past month, and since the start of 2020, 2020 clear vision?

'Zones' Dubbed BHAZ and CHOP Coinciding with Hotbeds of Chaos. Shootings. COVID-19 Spikes. Presidential Statue Removal Attempts. Firework Criminality. A National News Roundup.

June 23, 2020
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. Suspect 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?

Car to Car Drive-by Shootings Sharp Upturn Needs Sharp Downturn

June 20, 2020
It was an up-and-coming NY rapper within recent months that was shot in a residential area.

A few weeks ago, a teenage female,16, shot fatally as well as another injured, 30 year old male, West Baltimore, victims were in a car. On or around May 30th, 2020.
 Comment: That is beyond an all-time low, it is level of zero

Within the past 24 hours, New York, 17 year old teenage male, fatally shot, and another wounded, 27 year old male, Stanley/ Van Siclen area of Brooklyn in broad daylight, victims were in a car. Shots were fired from a white Mercedes.

Source: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-brooklyn-drive-by-shooting-20200620-2v66znlwbvc4tbwamvu5q4jddq-story.html

Some of the numbers that were involved in the last 2 incidents are similar.


Currently under investigation, all victims still living:



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.
 

Domino Effect of Racial Equality Protesting on Police Force Fragmenting

June 16, 2020
Publishing started about 8:45pm EST June 15th, 2020

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.

In a hail of gunfire, an injury to an officer, article here: https://kvia.com/news/crime/2020/06/15/el-paso-police-officer-shot-wounded-responding-to-call/

Baltimore City police officer shot in torso, injured, in the early morning hours of last Sunday, yesterday, overlap from Saturday night festivities in a parking lot gathering.

Florida Fish and Wildlife officer, Julian Keen, was shot when contending with a hit-and-run situation, this past weekend. Hendry County, Fort Myers to the west of it, West Palm Beach to the east of it. Article here: https://weartv.com/news/local/florida-fish-and-wildlife-officer-shot-and-killed-overnight

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.
