Safety Is The Best Political Slogan
In the last six months, because police brutality has created so much social unrest and incited demonstrations all over the United States, especially in Portland and Seattle, many people went to the streets and burned police stations and interrupted local businesses and attacked the security personnel.
The President wanted to use more U.S. military force to calm down the rioting, but the Secretary of Defense refused to do it.
For a lot of ordinary citizens and small businesses, a peaceful environment with security and safety is really needed to do business.
A bill creating a task force to study how reparations could be implemented statewide has passed in the California Assembly. If this bill becomes law, that will have a big influence on American politics.
The President is using the social safety issue to try and gain support from those voters who have become very tired of all the community unrest.
Democratic challenger Vice President Biden really needs to face this problem. The 2020 election is coming in less than two months. Our future depends on a leader who can help us with today’s problems and lead us into the future.
川普总统打安定牌
近月来,全国各地由於警察射杀黑人事件,大小城市示威不断,而且上演掳抢烧火事件, 尤其是西雅图波特兰,更有暴徒划地為营,火烧警察局,长期佔领街道,商家无法营业 ,造成对社会治安严重影响。
川普总统多次要动用更多之军人来平息动乱,但遭国防部长埃斯特之反对而作罢,各地暴乱有其长久以来之因素,黑人被歧视,尤其警察长期以来对他们施暴已是不争之事实,许多不良少年及犯罪份子因缺乏家庭及学校教育,輟学后又无一技之长,当面对生活现实情况,只有偷窃、贩毒维生,因而造成了严重的社会问题。
对一般平民百姓而言,社会治安非常重要,做点小生意也需要安定之社区环境, 如果每天不是被偷就是被抢,日子怎么过下去!
最近加州议会通过给予黑人之赔偿,虽未签署為法,但此举将会冲击政府财政及对其他族裔之公平性。
大选在即民主党如何处理这些棘手问题有待观察,但共和党打出社会安定牌将会争取一些选民支持。
我们的民主选举已经早变味了,為了争取选民,大家都在演戱,尤其面对大眾及媒体,幕前及幕后可以说两种不同的选举语言,只要得到选票,违背良心又如何呢 ?
