LA George Floyd police brutality demonstrations LA

Protestors and police clash in LA.

They are right near Writers Guild of America West HQ.

What an opportunity for Writers to see everything.

It seems police made a mistake in trying to hem protestors in.

They need crowd control training. Police shld have just let peaceful demonstrators pass.

Important post--Trevor Noah reflects on racial dominos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c

Chris Rock and Trevor Noah, both black comedians (that's their day job) are easily the most brilliant people I've ever seen, of any color, the same way orange so and so is the most evil and stupid.

For this Trevor Noah should write a book, it could be like Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath or Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny.

I strongly recommend his autobiography Born a Crime.

Because he was a mixed blood child, his mother was black and his father was white, he was not allowed to go out to play much because it was dangerous for him in South Africa.

That's how he came to read so much.

Some TV hosts, like Rachel Maddow, have a Ph.D. in Pol. Sci. Her's is from Oxford Univ.

Noah said as a child, when they went to a park, his father would walk in one side of the street and his mother and he on another.

Trevor Noah should be awarded an honorary doctorate.

Illustration, trump pointing finger at CNN's Acosta.

They also doctored the video and then lied that Acosta pushed WH zombie.

Took his press pass, which was later reinstated.
