George Floyd씨가 경찰의 참혹한 강압적인 업무수행으로 목숨을 잃자, 외형적으로는 흑백인종 차별에서 온 결과라고, 이를 기회로 전국적인 폭동으로 변하게 됐었다. 이런 결과로 의회에서 경찰폭력을 막겠다는 목적으로 경찰지원책을 없애자는 폭발하자 청문회까지 가게된것이다. 그러한 정책결정이 해결책은 아니고 오히려 시민들의 안전보호에 더 큰구멍이 뚫릴수있다는 반론을, 연방안전공무원으로 근무하다 피살당한 보안관의 여동생이 반론을 제기했다.
피살당한 연방보안관의 여동생, Angela가 하원의원들 향해 수요일 경찰지원중단은 정말로 "미친짖"이라고 일갈했다.
"경찰의 잔혹함과 인종차별을 막기위한 해결책으로 경찰부서에 지원을 잘라버리라고 주장하는것이 해결책이라고 주장하는것은 정말로 미친짖이다 라고 주장한다. 왜냐면 그런 정책은 해결책이 못돼기 때문이다. 그것은 국민전체를 설곳을 없게 만드는 짖이며, 모든 시민들이 선출한 공무원들로 부터 보호를 받을수있는 안전망을 없애 버리는 짖이다."라고 Angela Underwood Jacobs씨가 하원의 법사위원회의 청문회에서 경찰 일선 현장에서 직무수행방법을 바꾸기위한 회의에서 일갈한것이다(House Judiciary Committee's hearing on proposed changes to police practices).
Jacobs의 오빠 Patrick Underwood씨는 Oakland Calif 에 있는 미국연방재판소의 최일선에 배치되여 법원건물을 폭도들로 부터 지키는 근무를하고 있었는데, 지난 5월 29일 차량한대가 빌딩으로 달려와서, 연방국토보호부 소속으로 근무하고있는 Patrick씨와 같은 동료로 근무하고있던 보안원을 향해 총기를 난사해 Patrick씨는 사망하고, 다른 공무원은 큰 부상을 당했었다.
경찰을 지원하지 않으면, 누가 공권력 지키고, 국가재산인 빌딩들을 지킨다? 사람들은 참 멍청하다. 나무만 보고 숲을보는 지혜는 이번 폭동을 보면서, 하나도 없다는것을 증명시킨것으로 이해된다. 음지에서 자기의 본분을 충실히 이행하고있는 충직한 경찰관들이 도매끔으로 매도 당하는것은 좀 더 깊이 사고했어야 했었다.
나는 여동생 Angela씨의 주장에 동참한다. 더많은 경찰관들이 사회의 보이지 않는 구석에서 자기의 직분을 충실히 이행하는 노고가 있기에 오늘날 사회가 질서속에서 굴러간다는 이치를 깨닫기를 바란다.
The sister of a federal protective officer in Oakland who was fatally shot during a protest for George Floyd that turned violent told Congress on Wednesday calls to defund the police are "ridiculous".
"It
is a ridiculous solution to claim that defunding police departments is
the solution to police brutality and discrimination because it's not a
solution. It gets us nowhere as a nation and removes the safety net
protection that every citizen deserves from their communities elected
officials," Angela Underwood Jacobs said at the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on proposed changes to police practices on Capitol Hill.
FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE OFFICER KILLED IN OAKLAND SHOOTING DURING GEORGE FLOYD PROTEST IDENTIFIED
Jacobs' brother, Patrick Underwood, was stationed in front of the U.S. Courthouse in Oakland Calif.,
on May 29 when a vehicle pulled up the building and opened fire at him
and another contract security officer who both worked for Homeland
Security's Federal Protective Service. Underwood was killed while
the second officer was wounded.
Floyd's death has sparked a national movement that has raised calls by activists and some liberals to defund the police.
JORDAN, AT HEARING WITH FLOYD’S BROTHER, CONDEMNS DEMS FOR NOT SPEAKING OUT AGAINST ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’
While not all Democrats are on board with the idea to "defund" police departments, lawmakers are seeking legislation to pass sweeping reforms aimed at tightening accountability by police departments for uses of force and banning excessive force tactics such as the use of chokeholds, tear gas, and pepper spray.
After Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, testified to the committee, Jacobs, who is also a city council member for Lancaster, Calif., urged lawmakers to focus on reinvesting in other areas where racial disparities exist, such as education, jobs and housing rather than dismantling law enforcement agencies altogether.

She also condemned the use of violence against police officers and other tactics such as looting and burning-- which she said has marred otherwise peaceful protests in dozens of cities across the country-- calling these acts "blind violence."
"The actions of a few are dividing us as a nation," Jacobs said of Floyd's death. "We will never solve generational systemic injustice with looting burning, destruction of property and killing in the name of justice."
"When those in a position of authority choose to abuse their power, that is a very definition of oppression. And when innocent people are harmed in the name of justice, no one prevails. We all lose," she added.

"Police brutality of any kind should not be condoned, however, it is blatantly wrong to create an excuse out of discrimination and disparity to loot and burn our communities, to kill our officers of the law."
