His fiancée said georgesfloyd was about peace, he wouldn’t want this. It’s all Dem politics

Fracture: Author Joy-Ann Reid on Barack Obama, the Clintons and the Racial Divide 2016

You see when a police officer is killed one of the questions that arise is.. could we have acted any differently were the officer would still be alive.unfortunately this leads to harsh response to a situation which doesn't require a harsh response but could be interpreted as one.

It's a revolution.

the criminals and scum of america

There should be more ethnic minority police officers in ethnic minority communities because I believe they could understand and interpetate the situation differently.

take ur protests to wh not destroy ur towns and cities trump and reps are to blame

*RIOTS

Just a reason for anarchist to rob and burn no excuse.let the law sort the murder of that man out not mob rule

'demonstrators'.....demonstrating their ability to nip in and grab themselves a 4k tv or sneakers

What do you expect ehen you trash one part of your population

they are not demonstrators - just thieves and arsonists

They’re not ‘George Floyd Protests’

Momentum needs to be kept so this situation can 'snowball'. If the protests are crushed now they will be crushed again after the next death! This fire needs to burn until real change happens. It's the 21st century ffs.

***** Riots

Is there any different from Hong Kong?

Anger towards US police mounts after George Floyd killing in MinneapolisMinneapolis has been hit by violence since Floyd’s death with stores and restaurants looted and burnt Thanks to SimonMarksFSN I didn't realise that the phrase Trump uttered 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts' is a well known racist trope in the US started by a racist mayor many years ago. Thought it might have been. COVID has affecting minorities disproportionately to white America. A member of their community was murdered with the police showing no remorse on video footage . They are displaying the only real messaging the props lawmakers to take decisive measures to protect minorities. So tragic that Racism is the violent flaw in the DNA of the USA.
