There has to be a shift in the way of thinking. Rational must outweigh irrational. Justice must outweigh injustice. Love must outweigh hate. If you put yourself in someone else’s shoes and you don’t like how it feels-that’s when you know things need to change. — Trevor Lawrence (@Trevorlawrencee) May 29, 2020
I’m siding with my brothers that deal, and continuously deal, with things I will never experience. The injustice is clear.. and so is the hate. It can no longer be explained away. If you’re still “explaining” it – check your heart and ask why. — Trevor Lawrence (@Trevorlawrencee) May 29, 2020
The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights. — Joey Burrow (@Joe_Burrow10) May 29, 2020
Sherman told Sports Illustrated the following about the situation.
I’m impressed with the white QBs speaking up because those are voices that carry different weight than the black voices for some people. Which means the people who refuse to listen to a black athlete’s perspective will hear the same thing said from a white athlete, but receive the message much differently. So it’s awesome that more people are speaking out, because in sports, you really have a love and appreciation for your fellow man, regardless of race.
It has been crazy to see so many people speak up in the aftermath of Floyd’s death. Whether they’re white or black, tons of athletes and coaches have voiced opinions.

New Jersey AG Says State Will Update Its Use-Of-Force Guidelines And Add New Licensing Program For Police Officers

New Jersey will update their use-of-force guidelines for police and will eventually add a statewide licensing program for all officers amid the death of George Floyd .
Grewal laid out several steps being taken by the state that will be used to accomplish that change .
First was the excellence in policing initiative , which was launched in December and is meant to implement “ sweeping reforms ” that promote the culture of professionalism , accountability and transparency .

“ A lot has changed in policing over the last 20 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll be consulting with a wide range of stakeholders , including civil rights leaders , police unions , religious leaders , victims advocates and community members to ensure that our policy reflects the values of New Jersey today.

New Jersey will update their use-of-force guidelines for police and will eventually add a statewide licensing program for all officers amid the death of George Floyd.
“To the thousands of New Jerseyans who assembled peacefully this week, let me be clear, we hear you, we see you, we respect you,” said New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal during a press conference on Tuesday alongside Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. “We share your anger and we share your commitment to change. And at the Attorney General’s office we’ve been hard at work to make that change a reality.
Grewal laid out several steps being taken by the state that will be used to accomplish that change.
First was the excellence in policing initiative, which was launched in December and is meant to implement “sweeping reforms” that promote the culture of professionalism, accountability and transparency. He mentioned the launch of a new pilot program within that initiative designed to expand crisis intervention training.

We’re expanding “crisis intervention team” training. It’s one of the most effective tools for encouraging safe police interactions with the public, and so we’re launching a pilot program with @NJSP and police departments in Paterson, Trenton, Atlantic City, and Millville. — AG Gurbir Grewal (@NewJerseyOAG) June 2, 2020
“This best-in-class training is one of the most effective ways to reduce use-of-force incidents,” he said. Pilot programs will be launched in four locations, and the State House, to study the feasibility of implementing it statewide.
Next, was a plan to develop a statewide licensing program for police officers. “I asked the police training commission (PTC) to study whether a licensing program made sense for New Jersey.” Grewal said during the press conference.
We’re endorsing a statewide licensing program for police officers. We must ensure that police officers meet a baseline level of professionalism, just like doctors, nurses and lawyers. — AG Gurbir Grewal (@NewJerseyOAG) June 2, 2020
“We must ensure that those who cannot meet this standard can’t work in New Jersey,” Grewal said. The details of the plan’s implementation will be worked out in the months ahead.
New Jersey will also expand their statewide use-of-force database, which will be implemented by July 1, Grewal said, so they can effectively track the use of force by officers across the state.
We’re taking our “use-of-force portal” statewide. After a successful pilot earlier this year, we’re ready to start on-boarding the rest of NJ’s police departments in July. Once the portal is fully operational, we’ll be able to track use-of-force data across NJ. — AG Gurbir Grewal (@NewJerseyOAG) June 2, 2020
For the first time since 2000, we will be updating our statewide rules on police use of force. We plan to seek input from all stakeholders, including community members, and incorporate data from our new use-of-force portal. The new rules will be issued by the end of 2020. — AG Gurbir Grewal (@NewJerseyOAG) June 2, 2020
“A lot has changed in policing over the last 20 years,” said Grewal. “We’ll be consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including civil rights leaders, police unions, religious leaders, victims advocates and community members to ensure that our policy reflects the values of New Jersey today.” He also said they will be drawing on data collected through their new use-of-force database and the guidelines will be implemented no later than the end of this year.
New Jersey intends to also build an incident response team built up of community relations specialists, which can deploy to local jurisdictions following major civil rights incidents.
And we’re building an “incident response team” in our Division on Civil Rights. Modeled on similar programs at Obama-era DOJ, the team will deploy to towns following a major civil rights incident to help diffuse tension and heal the community. — AG Gurbir Grewal (@NewJerseyOAG) June 2, 2020

Protests began when a video surfaced of George Floyd ’ s death at the hands of a police officer who kneeled on his neck until he died .
The week-long demonstrations escalated into violent riots in many places .
The senator said that he was trying to de-escalate and talk to other protesters when the police became aggressive and started pushing , shoving , and hitting him with a bicycle before pepper spraying him and putting him in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right way ; I had not done anything disobedient , ” he told the Daily Caller .

“ There is a reason that people have taken to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we are passionate .

The senator said that he was trying to de-escalate and talk to other protesters when the police became aggressive and started pushing, shoving, and hitting him with a bicycle before pepper spraying him and putting him in handcuffs.
“I did everything the right way; I had not done anything disobedient,” he told the Daily Caller. “I wore a neon shirt with my name emblazoned on the back and I identified myself to law enforcement when I arrived, precisely to avoid a situation like what we saw. But even that wasn’t good enough.”
He said in his statement that he was complying with police orders and talking to fellow protesters when he was detained. (RELATED: Bill De Blasio’s Daughter Arrested During New York City George Floyd Protests)
After a few minutes, the officers determined who he was and released him.
“The unfortunate reality is that it was an indiscriminate pushing, spraying of pepper spray, and handcuffing, and had I not had the luxury of my title, I would have been in the system and processed much like many of the other protesters that night,” Myrie added.
Assemblywoman Diana Richardson told the Daily Caller that she’s in a “lot of pain” from the experience, but is “trying to be constructive with that pain.”
“I have to do what I can do about this situation,” she said. “At this point, there will be unrest in the street until action is taken.”
“There is a reason that people have taken to the streets. There is a reason that we are passionate. It is because we are against police brutality, something our communities have suffered not for decades, but centuries,” Myrie told the Daily Caller.
Myrie and Richardson said that going forward, they are working on legislation to help increase police accountability and transparency.
Both officials are working to repeal New York Civil Rights Law 50-a, which says that all personnel records that are “used to evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion” of a police officer or firefighter are confidential, meaning disciplinary records are shielded from the public.
“That’s legislation that allows police misconduct to be hidden from the public,” Richardson told the Daily Caller.
50-a means that many would never know the history of an officer’s interaction with the community, she added. “That’s not fair … people in communities know the history of that officer. We know who’s beating up who.”
Myrie co-sponsored a bill to repeal the law, which is now awaiting a vote in the New York Senate.
The Assemblywoman described the legislative platform that she and other public officials have created as “a host of bills that will directly create transparency around the police department, and accountability, and also put penalty to the negative behaviors that are currently, in the present day, going unchecked.”
Richardson said that she’s planning to have 10 press conferences Thursday with members of the Black-Latino Caucus, and that there will be a press conference in every county where the elected official is a person of color. Each one will happen simultaneously, at 3:00 PM, to rally support for their police reform agenda.
Expanding the use of law enforcement body cameras, making sure officers can be penalized for using chokeholds or any method of strangulation, and local, independent oversight of the police department are a few of the policy points that Richarson supports.
Myrie also told the Caller that “unlike every other city agency disciplinary hearing that is held before an administrative judge outside that agency, police disciplinary hearings go before a judge on NYPD payroll.”
“This is a conflict of interest that prevents real accountability, and I have a bill to change that,” he added. “Passing laws is only part of the solution, but it is part of what I was elected to do and will give everything I have to see it through.”
The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment.
