| Newly formed NFAC militia in Georgia |
The United States of America is currently undergoing
turbulent times since the brutal killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black
American by police in Minneapolis. The killing ignited spontaneous protest
marches across the United States calling for an end to police brutality on
African Americans, racial inequality and injustice towards people of colour.
The protests organized by Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement received
support from all racial and ethnic communities across the United States. Millions
of people marched in cities and towns demanding justice for all those killed under
police custody. Black Americans have become so frustrated with the status quo
that they have decided to form their own militias to protect and
liberate members of the black community.
The disproportionate use of force by the police to disperse
the protesters prompted the United Nations human rights office to issue
stark warnings to US authorities. The law enforcement officials have attacked
journalists and either confiscated or destroyed their equipment on several
occasions.
President Donald Trump often busy with China
bashing amid the Covid-19 pandemic calls the BLM protesters as anarchists,
agitators and looters trying to undermine everything the United States stands for.
President Trump denies there exists oppression, racism, injustice, bigotry and
bias towards non-whites in the United States.
