由於新冠肺炎疫情逐漸趨緩，上週蘋果公司才剛宣布將重啟在美國 21 個州中大約 100 多間的直營門市，想不到卻遭遇黑人 George Floyd 遭警察壓頸致死事件引發的全美暴動，包括明尼亞波里斯的 Apple Uptown 、布魯克林及華盛頓特區等數家蘋果門市無端遭搶劫者鎖定、破壞，讓蘋果不得不再度關閉部分門市，或是因應宵禁調整營業時間。

而針對 George Floyd 案件，蘋果執行長 Tim Cook 則在日前向蘋果全體員工發布備忘錄，譴責這次的暴力事件，並呼籲為所有人建立一個「更好、更公平的世界」。暴力事件不可取，但這些荒腔走板的趁機搶奪案件也讓人撻伐。
Minneapolis is grieving for a reason. To paraphrase Dr. King, the negative peace which is the absence of tension is no substitute for the positive peace which is the presence of justice. Justice is how we heal.
