Pope Francis has broken his silence on the unrest in the United States, saying no one can "turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion" but condemning violence as "self-destructive and self-defeating".
Although rallies on behalf of George Floyd and other victims of police brutality have been largely peaceful during the day, after dark each night crowds have turned to rioting, vandalism, arson and looting.Outside the US Capitol building yesterday afternoon a throng took to one knee, chanting "silence is violence" and "no justice, no peace," as officers faced them just before the government-imposed curfew.
The crowd, halted at an entrance to the Manhattan Bridge roadway, chanted at riot police: "Walk with us! Walk with us." Hundreds of protesters also gathered in Denver and Seattle but remained peaceful as darkness fell in the West. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday found a majority of Americans sympathise with the protests.
He didn’t deserve what happened to him but let’s not pretend ‘he was a good man’. His criminal record would suggest different GeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter
Your baby is lucky a man like her dad didnt point a gun at her when she was in her mothers womb. George Floyd held a gun at a pregnant womans unborn child. Those lives matter too, she was also black.

So sad but glad George's killers are finally all charged. Hoping for justice in the end through convictions.
Such ignorance on this feed 😠
The narrative is false and ignores a toxic masculinity in black American culture. 42% of police officers murdered in the US last year were at the hands of black males. Over half of annual crime is committed by black males. Black males are 6% of the US population.
Plz think before posting ignorant tweets, this man was murdered in broad daylight. Show some respect some of these tweets are sickening
A good man who robbed a pregnant woman by pointing a gun at her stomach?
Among other crimes George Floyd served time in a Texas prison after he plead guilty to an aggravated robbery in which he broke into a pregnant womans home and held a gun to her stomach. This is who is being hailed as a hero.
Good man my ass🤮🤮He was a criminal.
Subtitles please.
I’m sorry but those nails distracted me from everything she said. I thought she was going to poke her out
SEE WAT COPS CAN DO TO YOU 😎 SICKOS
