Peaceful protests in support of #BlackLivesMatter
were met with anger last night in Merrick. It was a horrible display of hatred, and disrespectful to the law enforcement officers they were claiming to support. (1 of 2)

I want to be clear: I support those who are marching and peacefully demonstrating for a more just America. And I encourage those who don’t understand the protesters to listen carefully to their message. Long Island, we need to be better than this. (2 of 2)

Alright cool - what are you going to do about it in Washington? The whole reasons for these protests are because your constituents want action. Asking for my friends and family.

This is not to discount your previous actions, as I know you publicly stated support for police oversight and public discussion of police misconduct. Just please... Do something!https://data.newsday.com/long-island/crime/law-enforcement-reform/93-kathleen-rice/ …

Please do more than encourage people to listen carefully because many are listening but remain intolerant. We need to educate and act.https://bit.ly/2U7dKMj

The hatred and violent harassment can be seen all over social media. Bethpage High School students were threatened by adults as they organized a peaceful protest!
