In Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and beyond, protesters are gathering to share the same message in the wake of unarmed African-American man George Floyd's death in police custody: 'He said I can't breathe. Justice for George.'

Albuquerque police have used a helicopter and tear gas as they retreated from a crowd of people after a confrontation that followed a protest against the custody death of Mr Floyd.

There were no reports of injuries from the gunshots, and it was not clear whether that incident was related to the protest.California Authorities said officers were injured when projectiles were thrown and that they were asking people to leave the area.Demonstrators in Los Angeles scuffled at times with police, with a few protesters detained and one officer receiving medical treatment, police said.

One officer was being treated at a hospital for an injury that was not life-threatening, he and police officials said."It was a horrible injustice. I'd venture to guess that every police officer out there feels much of the same anger about what happened in Minneapolis," he told The Associated Press.Hundreds have rallied in downtown Phoenix to demonstrate against the death of Mr Floyd, in a protest that turned into a clash with police.

Interesting we never saw rioting when a white Australian was killed by police! Don’t white lives matter?

You mean domestic terrorism. Anatifa, promoted leftist terror.

On the same day that Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged with the murder of George Floyd, the president of the United States addressed the nation and callously said absolutely nothing about the horrific incident TrumpGate BBCWorld

Chinese government should announce the decision to stand with the US braves protesters!

This wouldn't have happened if we all had injected bleach like we were told to.

'justice'? In the USA, blacks murder whites around 10 times the rate that whites murder blacks. According to the FBI, in 2018, 2,925 blacks were murdered, 234 by whites and 2,600 by blacks. 514 whites were murdered by blacks. theirABC

When people riot, start fires and loot - I would not call them protesters mineapolis

NO, police trying to subdue rioters and looters, ABC. You continue to lie at taxpayers' expense to push your left wing agenda.

Hopefully ABC will be the next to have their offices ravaged. It would be so awesome to watch that happen as they continue to push narratives

Rioters orchestrated by George Soros and Antifa. Do you ever get any facts right ABC?!!!!

‘Demand justice’ Justice HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY ARE FUCKING DOING!!!

police are killing citizens.stop

Time to stop and reflect. The murderer is being charged. A lot of people are going to lose their livelihood because of the destruction on top of the Covid restrictions.

David Dungay killed in Aust 2015 in similar fashion and NO charges. Where is the outrage?

Everyone knows that the US is the freest country, people and government are free to attack others. This is human rights. If government suppresses people, what is the difference from the CCP? America is the best, human rights are the most important

A mass sit-in on all major intersections in Minneapolis would have achieved much more than the vandalism from imported antifa thugs. So many moderate blacks ashamed of what is happening now across USA

RIOTERS. That what they are TheirABC. Thieving looters that are destroying their community & eroding the cause of the people that are actually protesting.

This isn't 'protesters' . You're legitimising criminal behaviour. FFS name what's happening for what it is. Looting, rioting, arson, theft, assault. It's criminal behaviour. What has ABC become? Should I be sad or angry.

The HongKongPolice did exactly the same in Hong Kong. America called it police brutality and poor leadership. The pot calling the kettle black Minneapolisprotests

As looters light fires and steal police fire tear gas. Fixed it for you . Dolts. I blame you and your narrative. You and the rest of MSM are responsible for this. You’ve been race baiting for years.

FAKE NEWS! They are NOT protesters!! They are rioting, looting and destructive thugs using a death as an excuse.

Police fire tear gas at arseholes destroying innocent people's lives and businesses ...there fixed it for you FakeNews

It’s nothing to do with “justice” it’s all the young socialists ABC and the like have been cultivating around the world since the advent of social media.. any excuse will do to burn down “the establishment”

'Justice' , lol.

Many are longer demanding action, the are rioting and destroying their communities

ABC taking their cues from that hotbed of radical leftism, Fox News...

Riots*

At the ABC, violent vandals are 'protesters' if they're the correct type of protestor

ABC News Radio had an ‘expert’ on today saying the riots are a result of a series of similar killings, systemic racism and a hangover from Jim Crowe and slavery. Straight from the BLM playbook & no analysis of actual statistics. Emotion, not facts.

They demand justice 🤔 Or just out to loot & trash everything in their way ? Minneapolis abc

Demand justice, by stealing a TV and a bottle of scotch, and then torching the place? ABC crap as per usual.

Here's more if you don't believe me. I'd call to your journalist professions, but that's non-existent.

I believe the officer has been charge with murder, so not sure what justice these degenerates are seeking.

Here's another example

And Louis Vitton bags.

This certainly isn't about justice FakeNewsAlert DefundABC

They’re called “rioters”.

Looters. The ABC running cover for violence and looting. Reveling in political violence is the ABC's favourite hobby.

When ABC becomes next CNN we will refer you back to this post

China POV..? US insists China & HK police let protestors destroy buildings & economy, while protestors in Minneapolis get rubber bullets, tear gas, state of emergency & a threat from the President (extra-judicial shooting) that Twitter flagged it as ‘glorifying violence’.

Not protestors, out of town WHITE SPOILED BRAT ANTIFA DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and theirABC is covering for them

demand TV's and Nikes.

Protesters? Are you fkn kidding ABC? lol. The police officer should be charged with full extent of the law as he should be. Malicious destruction of property, looting and theft is a crime. Obviously the ABC struggles with the difference between the 2.

Police fire tear gas to disperse looters, rioters vandals and arsonists.

At this point, these riots aren't 'about justice'. they don't give a fuck about Floyd. Antifa has hijacked this from BLM and now it's a free for all.

Officer accused in George Floyd's death has history of police brutalityThe Minneapolis police officer who knelt on the neck of handcuffed George Floyd has opened fire on two people during his 19-year career and had nearly 20 complaints and two letters of reprimand filed against him. he should be sacked.. this video is damning and if found guilty they should face the full consequence of the law. But today's trial by media is just entices mob rule. Covington kids received trial by media and how did that work out especially for CNN. Rodney, now Floyd, plenty more in between, and plenty more will follow - if the system is not changed. A complete check and review of the mentalhealth and mentalstate of law enforcers must be made a priority. ChangeTheSystem MentalHealthAwareness StopTheViolence
