Exactly 57 years after the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (Wednesday, August 28, 1963) when Martin Luther King Jr.  stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial to deliver his historic “I Have A Dream” speech calling for an end to racism, tens of thousands gathered peacefully in front of the Lincoln Memorial, wearing masks, filling the National Mall around the Reflecting Pool, for  “The Commitment March: Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” March on Friday afternoon, August 28, 2020, demanding justice, police reform, and ending systemic racism. Harkening back to the 1963 March on Washington, huge crowds marched again for racial justice in the US capital. The rally was held at the Lincoln Memorial, where 57 years ago hundreds of thousands gathered to hear Martin Luther King give his “I have a dream” speech, pleading for racial equality. The recent police shooting of African-American Jacob Blake has reignited tensions over perceived police violence against Black people in the US and energized the Black Lives Matter movement. Among the speakers were Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III and family members of George Floyd, in the video “March on Washington 2020: Thousands rally for racial justice, DW News”, below: MSNBC’s Brian Williams shares a look at the sights and sounds as a new generation marches on the nation’s capital on the anniversary of the original March on Washington to protest for racial equality, in the video “Thousands Protest In Washington For Racial Equality, The 11th Hour, MSNBC“, below: Fifty-seven years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, tens of thousands of demonstrators lined the National Mall demanding policing reform, equal access to the ballot box and an end to systemic racism. NBC’s Geoff Bennett reports for Weekend TODAY, in the video “Tens of Thousands Gather For March On Washington And Demand Racial Justice, TODAY“, below:Frank Nitty, a Wisconsin activist, walked 750 miles from Wisconsin to D.C., to join the March on Washington, in the video “‘We Need To Demand Change’: Activist Walks 750 Miles To Join March On Washington, NBC News NOW“, below: People from all walks of life and racial backgrounds participated in this peaceful march. In light of the trigger for this march, instead of defunding the police, I wonder if it would be possible for various cities to consider implementing these policies:

• Having the racial make-up of the police force being reflective as closely to the racial make-up of the population group it is designed to protect
• Having each police officer to work 4 days per week and to be trained 1 day per week (training to de-escalate situations, to perform martial arts in Jiu-Jitsu when needed, and to be more alert and less fearful.). I always wondered why and how different the American and British police officers handle different scenarios. Apparently some one else created a series of drama in ITV investigating exactly this, called Wild Bill, starring Rob Lowe, below:

British police officers rely far less on fire arms than the American police officers. Perhaps there is something we can learn from the British.
