Was called Dijon Kizzee, was 29 years old and was murdered yesterday afternoon, at 3 p.m. local time (that is, overnight for our time zone) in Los Angeles County, by two deputies who shot him, after a chase and perhaps a fight: they had asked for his documents, he had escaped. A hundred protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement immediately gathered at the scene of the shooting; A procession began to the nearest police station, and the slogans were the same as recent demonstrations in memory of African-Americans killed by the police. Say his name, say his name; and also there is no justice, there is no peace, without justice there is no peace. And the demonstrations unleashed on May 26 in Minneapolis after the assassination of George Floyd have never stopped, and they seem to be increasingly central in dictating the line of the electoral campaign: today Donald Trump is expected in Kenosha, Wisconsin , where a week ago an African American Jacob Blake was killed in a shootout with police, and two Black Lives Matter protesters, who marched in protest, were shot dead by a seventeen-year-old far-right Kyle Rittenhouse.

As was

According to the police reconstruction, the two agents involved saw the victim riding his bicycle and decided to stop him for a review. At that time the man … whom the family identified with the media as Dijon Kizzee, 29 – would have abandoned the bicycle and escaped. When the agents caught up with him the man resisted and hit one of the policemen. Then she would drop some clothes on the floor. At that moment the agents opened fire. Agents noted that inside the fallen clothes was a black semiautomatic pistol, It was said. At that moment the shooting occurred. The man was beaten several times and died instantly. If the dropped gun means it was unarmed, why shoot it? One of the few eyewitnesses to the shooting, retired Arlander Givens, told the media.

Trump’s visit to Kenosha

In the local afternoon, that is, in a few hours, Donald Trump will visit Kenosha, Wisconsin, for a lightning rally. In an interview in which he confirmed the visit, he also defended Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who killed two Black Lives Matter protesters with a semiautomatic rifle. We are evaluating their actions, but you have seen the video. He was trying to get away from the protesters, I guess, and he fell down and was attacked very violently. They probably would have killed him. Donald Trump then has compared the cop who shot Jacob Blake seven shots in the back to those golfers who hit the ball after a mistake. They enter the balloon. Like in a golf tournament when you miss a meter putt, shoot the guy in the back many times, I mean, couldn’t you have done something different? Couldn’t you have addressed it? The host tried to stop him: Aren’t you making a comparison to golf? Because of course what the media will say. I’m saying that people enter the balloon, Trump responded. The line of the Republican electoral campaign leaned more and more towards the issues of law and order, that is, of public order. Trump’s aide (who resigned) Kellyanne Conway clearly explained on television the reasoning behind this: The more chaos and anarchy turn into vandalism and a reign of violence, the clearer it becomes for voters to determine the best candidate. for security, order and compliance with the law.
