LULAC Demands Stop To “Open Season” On Men Of Color By Bad Police Officers
==========================================================================


Nation’s Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Urges End to
Minneapolis Civil Disturbance and Justice for George Floyd

Washington, DC - Domingo Garcia, National President of the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC) today issued the following statement:

“Minneapolis is ablaze because the anger of a community has been lit. LULAC urges
our communities to end the civil disturbance because two wrongs do not make one
right.

Bad police officers need to be held accountable for murder or attempted murder
just like everyone else for not affording people their Constitutional Rights. The
bad police officers give the good police officers a bad reputation. Good police
officers need to help de-escalate situations with brown and black men. We too
felt the knee upon our necks as George Floyd pleaded for his life!

I have two sons and I worry about them. I have a brother who is a police officer
and I worry about him. A couple of years ago an unarmed black man was killed by
Minneapolis police officers. And then, five innocent Dallas police officers were
killed by a black man seeking revenge. An eye-for-an-eye leaves everyone blind.

Good DA’s and good police chiefs need to arrest and indict the bad cops to let
all Americans know that justice is colorblind and fair to all. This must happen
now before more violence takes place.”
