The wave of protests over the anti-racism cased by the African American George Floyd Freud killed by the police shows no sign of subsiding, instead, the public anger has grown into an increasing alert level. However the reluctant American Police Force remains the iron strategy. Another black man was killed by the police during the protest.

The flam of the protest over the Black live batters would force President Trump evacuated to the White House underground bunker is unprecedented. However, the growing momentum, the local authority was forced to promise to reform the police force as a solution in ongoing state and cities, however, the key of the reform is mainly focus on the unnecessary police violence in the case where African American involved.
