Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the death of George Floyd was “absolutely shocking” but what has followed since is “anarchy, hate-police rhetoric and race warfare that the Left have preached for so long”.

Mr Bolt said there is “something very sick going on … something frightening”. He said while the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man killed while in police custody was shocking, he said “media untruths” are being pushed by “journalists with agendas” over the issue of race politics in the country. Mr Floyd died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes as he told them "I can't breathe".

Nationwide protests have subsequently been sparked across the country, leading to violence, the burning of buildings and further deaths and arrests. While criticism has also been levelled towards US President Donald Trump and his response to the issue. Mr Bolt said some of the anger to follow the death of Mr Floyd is “genuine,” but he said, “a lot of it is politics”.

paulrey99 Phew ..thought was Sky here for a mo'....

You should take over here from Sky UK

Of course it is. How dare people who have had knees on their throats for generations say enough is enough. At least we’ve moved on from outright apartheid - you be present but don’t you dare speak. Racist adults are talking. In Australia, still our BedsareBurning

People in Hon Kong, protesting injustice are damaging property, assaulting people, storming government buildings..... They get called Freedom fighters. People doing the very same thing for similar reasons in the US are called left wing terrorists. The hypocrisy of the right.

The officer is arrested and charged, every one agrees justice must be done, So what is being protested? Why the oppertunist looting, why the ANTIFA maxist Anarchist incitement to riot.

The epicentre is a democrat state, as were the state police involved. The racial disharmony of identity politics is the democrat narrative preached by democrat media CNN, policing response to rioting looting in democrat states hands tied, ANTIFA anarchists exhalted by Democrats

love or Hate Andrew Bolt you must admit he's fairly right on the money with this one
