Update 8:25 pm IST: New York Mayor Opinion

The Mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio said that most of the protestors were peaceful demonstrators. But, there were some who came out late and were violent, so those evening protestors were not peaceful, thus not acceptable. There were some mishappenings, but no major injuries to the protestors or police have been reported so far.

Blasio added that there were many instances in which people including protestors, police, and the community showed empathy and connection with each other. Such neighboured policing be encouraged. Referring to the video in which a police officer was kneeing with the protestors, he said we need to overcome such thinking and move forward.

Responding to looting in lower Manhattan, the mayor said that they will be taking a very aggressive decision, keeping in mind that it was a very small proportion of violent protestors.


The whole of Twitter is flooded with violence and fire due to the protest going on in Washington DC, the USA actually. People are tweeting with #dcblackout saying signals and networks are jammed. The tweets are simply saying that no reports or news are coming from the national capital because of jamming.

Some shared that the authorities having power are removing everything regarding DC from social media sites such as Reddit. Now, the people have started posting tweets with #dcblackout as they want to inform the world of what is going on in the United States of America.

As it is clear from the tweets above, those people who are posting about the Washington DC Riots are unable to access their account as they are getting suspended. Other than suspension, some people are seeing after login on Twitter that,

‘We’ve temporarily limited some of your account features’. This clearly suggests that they don’t want the world and other parts of the US to know about all of this.

But people are sharing it again and again to voice their thoughts and inner feelings. Some tweets which are not available right now maybe because they are also deleted revealed that they are not getting any signals during the past 6 hours. If we talk about the television media, no channel is reporting the latest update from the affected regions.

These events started after the African-American (black) man George Floyd who died after being pinned down to his throat by a white police officer of Minneapolis. People are considering it to be the racial discrimination of the US police.

Some tweets also revealed that they are misusing the powers they have and eventually the normal citizens of the nations are affected.
