It was disheartening to learn that... the services have responded with little more than unconscious bias training.

We must ensure the systems we utilize to administer discipline are fair and just for everyone.

until we have a national strategy to deal with the pandemic, until we have testing, until we have PPE, I can assure you that I am not going to put the lives of my staff at risk

We cannot condemn the people of Puerto Rico in the wake of a debt crisis, devastating storms, earthquakes to an inadequate response to the coronavirus pandemic because they are ruled by an oversight board.

if we wait until the vaccine is developed before we start thinking about the mechanisms to produce and distribute it, we will lose precious time.

So, just to be clear, the radio interaction, communication, was just between the Park Police, and any other communications between other agencies were in person?

And I would imagine having that recording would answer many of the questions that we and the public have at this moment.

We did not choose to live in a society where the President wields the power of our government to break up peaceful protests.

The President's recent actions brought that excessive force to the fore in a new and unconstitutional way.

Part of the mission of the United States National Park Police is to protect lives.

Is it standard procedure for Park Police to record radio transmissions between each other, like this?

It runs directly counter to the very reasons they decided to serve their country, and to their oath to support and defend the Constitution.

It seems that some law enforcement officers at Lafayette were not pleased about what they were asked to do on that day.

So, it was not configured to record at the time. Are there radio recordings of the Park Police for the time period between May 29 and June 2 at all?

If we were to have a repeat of June 1, we would have the recordings that you could send over to us?

This wasn't an isolated incident.

The issues of racial equity and justice are fundamental to the Christian faith, and they are of primary importance now in our country.

the events of June 1 will no doubt go down as one of the darkest days of this presidency.
