‘Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.’ BILL OF RIGHTS, Amendment I MOST OF THE PROTESTERSForum ARE NOT LOOTERS

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -- The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

The vast majority of Americans have been sickened by the horrific video of a white Minneapolis police officer slowly and agonizingly chok- ing to death a 46 year-old African-American man, George Floyd. Mr. Floyd had not committed any act of violence prior to being arrested and was lying prone on his stomach, with his hands handcuffed behind his back, as the officer applied pressure with his knee and the full force of his body weight to Mr. Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 53 seconds. The murder of Mr. Floyd while in police custody was the culmination of a series of high-profile, race-related incidents in recent weeks that have highlighted the racism that is inherent in our society and that have spurred the protests for the past week in major cities across the country. What has been striking about the protest movement is that the protesters in every city have been representative of all races and nation- alities, similar to the peaceful protest marches and the Freedom Rider movement in the 1960s that were led by Dr. Martin Luther King and other leaders of the Civil Rights movement at that time. Unfortunately, there always are a few people who will seek to profit Guest Op-Ed from any situation. Those who have been vandalizing property and who have been ransacking high-end retailers, as occurred Sunday night along Newbury St. and in downtown Boston, are professional criminals with lengthy records who have jumped on the protest bandwagon, so The May 31 protests in the City of Boston to speak, solely in order to take advantage of the diversion of the police Medical Services, and other first and as neighbors, we must choose created by the peaceful and legitimate protesters.
