Ben Frazier, a Jacksonville civil rights activist of the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, weighs in President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order on police reform.
Read Frazier’s statements below:
- “The President’s plan does not go far enough in acknowledging the role that racial bias is playing in american society.” Anyone who could watch George Floyd be suffocated for eight minutes and forty-six seconds and not realize that racism played a role in his death, is delusional.”
- “We have a major conflict between law enforcement and the black community here in Jacksonville and nothing in the President’s reforms will provide the transparency and accountability that we are demanding.”
- “The President signing an order on police reform but not mentioning the word racism proves that he is supporting a white supremacist narrative and ideology.”
- “The President must be drinking moonshine in the oval office.”
- “The rest of the nation is finally waking up to the reality of systemic racism while the president is sleep walking.”
- “He needs to wake up and smell the coffee;stop trying to turn back the hands of time.and instead drink a strong cup of Maxwell House coffee which we make right here in Jacksonville.”
