Curfews have been imposed on major US cities as clashes over police brutality erupt across the US with demonstrators ignoring warnings from President Donald Trump that his government would stop the violent protests 'cold'.

"We cannot and must not allow a small group of criminals and vandals to wreck our cities and lay waste to our communities," the president said.

"Protesting such brutality is right and necessary," he said."But burning down communities and needless destruction is not."Peaceful protests occurred too, including in Toronto as the movement spread beyond America's borders. All major freeways leading into Minneapolis were closed Saturday night with military helicopters overhead as the state braced for more rioting, arson and looting, with locals saying much of the violence was being perpetrated by outsiders.

"I'm really messed up they killed him up. I'm wondering like, what could possibly happen to me?" he told AFP. Looting occurred in Miami, where a curfew was also announced, while in New York mayor Bill de Blasio said a video appearing to show an NYPD police car drive into protesters in Brooklyn was"upsetting" but that he did not blame the officers.

There is a fire they have in them that will not go above God, that is Hebrew if it is Jesus and not Christian, so they won’t get out of the best prosecution in the world and credit will be theirs from the jail all of the time.

Land of the free..

Qui risque sa vie tous les jours pour ces gens ? Des robots ?

Can you please not refer to them as “violent protests”? Word usage matters. These are in the majority peaceful protests that have had some violent incidences due to preemptive escalation by police, and some rogue (often white) protesters.

Antifa and black rioters, edit your word use knob heads.

Governor says sorry after black TV reporter arrested while covering George Floyd riotsUnited State Governor Tim Walz apologised to CNN journalist Omar Jimenez and his two team members, after they were arrested live on television while reporting on violent protests sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. Lol is there going to be another riot because a black reporter was arrested? For those who care, the crew were mainly white that were arrested, and secondly, the police told them they risked arrest if they didn't move. They CHOSE to get arrested. Don't let the media choose how you're meant to feel about it.
