Quote of the Day

‘”No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

– Nelson Mandela

County Officials Respond to the Death of

George Floyd, Public Protests

Numerous Coconino County officials have reacted to the death of George Floyd while in police custody and the subsequent nationwide protests it has inspired. Excerpts are below, along with links to the full statements.

“Protests have erupted across America in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. Racism, bigotry, intolerance and xenophobia have no place in Coconino County and are not part of the values that our diverse and multicultural community believes in. This is a foundational belief for Coconino County and one we recently proclaimed again as we condemned the incitement of violence against the Navajo people amid the COVID-19 pandemic.” – Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Liz Archuleta (Full statement here.)

“As the Sheriff of Coconino County I share in the community’s shock and anger over the events recently occurring in Minneapolis. I greatly value the diversity and public trust of our citizens and constantly strive to maintain and strengthen our relationships with all of our communities. I am outraged, as many of you are, by the actions of a few officers and will not tolerate similar behavior by anyone in my agency.” – County Sheriff Jim Driscoll (Full statement here.)

“Grievance can be uncomfortably loud at times and nonetheless be completed peacefully. I have always been proud of our community’s abilities in this regard. But like Dr. King, I do not condone violence. Mr. Floyd’s ultimate legacy will be a national commitment to improve our attitudes on race and justice, law enforcement training and performance review, and our commitment to achieve equal justice for all.” – County Attorney Bill Ring (Full statement here.)
