Amid Floyd Protests UNSG Guterres Silent But UNSC Meeting Request Expected

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Soundcloud
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

UN GATE / SDNY, May 31 –  Amid protests about the murder of George Floyd, late on May 30 the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York got a complaint signed by  Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara about a Molotov cocktail attack on an NYPD vehicle. Inner City Press, which covered the protested in Foley Square and at One Police Plaza on May 29 (video here and edited here), and aftermath on Fifth Avenue on May 30, publishes the complaint (later-written song on Soundcloud).

  "Defendants Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, both residents of Brooklyn, were arrested in a van early Saturday morning while allegedly in possession of explosive device components shortly after Rahman hurled a Molotov cocktail at an NYPD vehicle before fleeing with Mattis." We're talking NYU and Fordham graduates, the former a member of Brooklyn Community Board 5.

 Inner City Press has predicted that on June 1, when France takes over presidency of the UN Security Council for the month, there will be if only in a "closed" VTC a request for a Security Council meeting about the George Floyd protests and response.

   Meanwhile UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, unlike what his somewhat less corrupt and apathetic predecessors would have done, has been entirely silent, apparently only hoping that protests don't turn to or find out about the $15 million mansion he lives alone with iron-pumping guards in, on Sutton Place and 57th Street. Guterres has banned Inner City Press which asks about his corruption from entering the UN or its Zoom rooms for 699 days and counting. We'll have more on this.
