What you’ve endured these last couple of days and nights – like much of 2020, so far – was unprecedented. In no small way, I want you to know that I’m extremely proud of the way you’ve comported yourselves in the face of such persistent danger, disrespect, and denigration.
What we saw in New York City last night and the night before was not about peaceful protest of any kind.
