According to the latest statistics from the New Coronavirus Resource Center of Johns Hopkins University in the United States on Friday night, the number of deaths due to the new crown virus in the United States exceeded 700,000, reaching 700,000 258, making it the country with the highest number of deaths from the new crown virus in the world. . The death toll in Russia is 204,424. Since the global pandemic of the new crown virus at the beginning of last year, nearly 4.8 million people worldwide have died of the virus. US health officials say that the number of infections across the United States has been declining in recent weeks. However, as far as the country is concerned, the recent wave of infections has reached a peak, especially in some northern states where the number of infections is increasing. |
On Sunday, 20-year-old Daunte Wright was killed by police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. This, as the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck in the city that is less than 15 miles from the latest shooting, casts an ominous shadow. In the past few weeks alone, the nation has been rocked by shocking reports of police violence. Adam Toledo, a Latino 13-year-old, was killed by Chicago police on March 29. Police video of the incident is slated to be released this week.And a military officer recently filed a lawsuit over a horrifying gas station stop that happened in December. Virginia cops threatened, drew guns on and pepper-sprayed Army Lt. Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino. The lieutenant is suing the cops, one of whom was fired. In spite of a global pandemic, police killings have remained steady. To put it mildly, America has a police violence problem. To put it explicitly, America has a police brutality with impunity problem. |
