He is clear and fair. Listening to this speech, as it contains the protests, as well as the progress on Covid-19, is refreshing compared to the hateful tweets of the WH resident. He has some good points.

He started with COVID and then moved to the protests.

He made a great point that the country CAN change and gave examples of marriage equality (country wide) and gun control (NYS).

Check the tape yourself. I believe this is what I heard:

- any police complaint to be heard by independent -- not the local DA because self-policing doesn't work
- police person's record to be released when arrested -- not hidden else you hide habitual bad actors
- uniform definition of excessive force over ALL entities from municipal to federal -- to provide a standard
- make education uniform -- to stop having two systems of education

He says that everyone should demand that these laws be passed, else get voted out.
