Lotta white people here making big claims

The protestors must keep the momentum going & not tire out. They have a genuine, indisputable CAUSE. They cannot continue being treated as second class citizens by American police officers.

COVID19 tragedy gives us an opportunity for a change For effective protection of life, we should start talking and fight all together for all sentient beings and nature, we are all connected, life depends on that connection. EndRacism StandUp4HumanRights AnimalRights

What's the death toll from the peaceful protests so far? Dozens? Wait a week and it will be hundreds, corona-chan is still around, and none of these people are keeping social distancing

Let's canonized the 'martyr' and move on

I lost a lot of respect for black people yesterday when they were clearly on the side of the criminal and this view was so lopsided and unbalanced. I wont be listening to anything more except the trial.

How can you omit that? Guardian is British newspaper but happy not report what is happening in the UK? Congratulations on suppressing the news.

Black people are asking to be safe no matter what the conditions.That is unreasonable. No one can nor should they give black people or any race a guarantee that they will not come out without a scratch, condition when breaking the law or threatening safety of others. NO.

Black lives do matter, the ability to peacefully protest is vital in any democracy, Floyd was unlawfully killed BUT he wasn't a saint. He spent multiple terms in jail including 2 for armed robbery, one for 5yrs for robbing a pregnant woman in her own home. Don't beatify him!

The editors are either hypocrites or complete idiots.

All they have done is give black people the right to die from covid19 in larger numbers. Shocking disregard for humanity.

Peaceful protest is coming to your doorstep soon. Get ply wood. Hurry up.

‘Peaceful’

Only black life matters, no on care how many white died in street robberies from a hand of ____ people

Yes, lets keep racism fresh and demand justice. Such bullshit! Black people being used and played by the left. You like being exploited because of your skin color? You like being made to feel inferior? You like special treatment due to skin color? WalkAway

Can we stop this division and focus on the task of cleaning up our planet, stop all abuse, if we don’t care about our environment then we can’t care about life period! Take your litter home! AllLivesMattter globalwarming

What about the pregnant woman who Floyd shoved his gun into the belly of? People are protesting in the name of a monster. The cop clearly killed him but there is no evidence it was due to racism. Stop pandering, clean up the riot mess

“Peaceful”

When is every white journalist at the Gran going stand aside so a black person can take their job? That would be a powerful gesture.

Europe is with you!

Peaceful 😂😂😂😂
