Martinez, Calif. – On Tuesday, Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton issued a statement regarding the murder of George Floyd:
“I am heartbroken and horrified by the murder of George Floyd and the other unjust deaths of Black men and women in this country. As the chief law enforcement official of Contra Costa, I took an oath to ensure justice for everyone under the law. The fight for justice does not end at the borders of our County or in our communities. We all have a responsibility to speak out against and eradicate injustices wherever we find them. The officers responsible for the murder of George Floyd must be held accountable.
The right to peacefully assemble and protest are a vital part of the fabric of this nation, and the majority of participants have been peaceful and even inspiring. I am disappointed that the righteous marches and gatherings are being infiltrated and hijacked by a small minority of people with other agendas. The individuals who are exploiting the pain, and the cause of so many in our community by committing acts of violence and destruction will be held accountable. We must not let the acts of the detractors deter us from the issue at hand. We must never stop working to eradicate racism and bring about systematic change throughout all systems, especially in our criminal justice system. I will continue to fight for criminal justice reform not only just in Contra Costa but throughout this nation.”

Nobody cares what this incompetent, racist piece of garbage has to say! Becton is part of the problem. Another corrupt elected politician!
The leftists are using blacks as “useful idiots” to try to bring down Trump. It won’t work.
As the D. A. do your job and put the thugs in jail. Looting is not protesting. Too many people have suffered not only through the policies of the Democratic party in this state and now with this civil unrest. Just saying.
Oh, what a surprise. Another county DA issuing press releases about a case in another state that does not involve her or her office. What office are you running for, Ms. Becton?
She sucks!
I can’t stand looking at the photo of this ugly woman. Ugly on the inside and ugly on the outside. She’s nothing but a tapeworm!
She just had to open her big ugly yap! Will she be prosecuting this case?
