California Gov. Gavin Newsom stated he was “inspired” from seeing peaceful protests, and vocalized the rights of peaceful protest.
Protesters have the right to do so without being arrested, gassed, or shot at by projectiles” , said Newsom.
Though the California Highway Patrol and National Guard have separate procedures over how fto enforce to protect the peace, local municipalities have different approaches, and those need to be standardized, Newsom said.
Newsom stated the state will work with journalists, advocates, and law enforcement to communicate how the state engages with protesters.
California joins Minneapolis in advocating for legislature that reforms police regulation.
