What's going on in the world today?

It's June 21st, I'm watching House just started season 6.  I'll need a new show to binge soon.  I'm hoping Peacock will have something new.  Soooo, last night Trump had a rally.  I haven't read anything about it yet but I'll assume it was narcissistic, slightly paranoid and fact free for the most part.  The rage of African Americans continues to run but at a slightly less violent rate.  I know it's wrong to think this being as I am neither black or a parent but we teach kids to "use their words" when angry and they get in trouble if they don't use their words and instead use their physical attributes.  "A riot is the language of the unheard" we are told.  I don't know about that.  The movie White Men Can't Jump taught me that I can listen to Jimi but I can't hear Jimi.  So if I can never know the plight of any other race or sex or person other than myself, you know the whole walk in another person's shoes thing, I will never understand their plight.  So if those that want or need change don't have solutions then things won't change.  De-funding the police seems to be an interesting idea.  The 911 system can be used to better identify the type calls and who should be sent.  Guns are not necessary for most of these calls so either the police need to evolve with the times or accept their reduced role in society.
