The instances took place between May 26 and June 5. They spanned 40 states and the District of Columbia, and allege excessive force by state and local police departments, as well as National Guard troops and federal agents. Among the incidents are beatings, the use of tear gas and pepper spray, and the firing of"less lethal" munitions. The study also documented the targeting of medics, legal observers, and journalists by law enforcement officers.
"Out of the blue, they started breezing pepper spray into the crowd. ... Then they started with the tear gas. Someone who was right in front — had a tear gas canister hit his head and started running back. We were trying to help him, flushing his eyes and then he just fainted and started having a seizure," Horne recounts in the report."People started putting their hands up but the cops wouldn't let up.
NPR has requested comment on the report from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Fraternal Order of Police, but did not receive a response from either.
No credibility AI takes money from SorosFundedRiots
NYPD be like:
why is taxpayer supported NPR saying 'protesters' instead of looters, arsonists, anarchists, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists? sorry taxpayer supported NPR.. I'm not buying your and amnesty international's tripe..
500 million in damages were caused by riots in Minneapolis, and they won't be bailed out by the federal government. They ignore the violence that leads the police to respond
Cry me a river. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
NAZI PUBLIC RADIO. Hard at work pushing communist propaganda while getting paid by pour tax dollars. Angry yet? VOTE RED
NPR is incorrect. Fact: U.S. law enforcement couldn't prevent 125 instances of violence by unruly rioters over an 11-day extended period following the killing of George Floyd because Mayors hamstrung the police from stopping them, according to Amnesty International.
How many incidents of violence by rioters against police?
Good
bs!
Commited against 'mostly peaceful' protestors of course, right!?!?! Oh NPR.... shilling for brown shirt Marxists. Nice work!
How about the number of children killed by “peaceful protesters”? Come on democrats and media quit killing our country!
MediaBuzzFNC And all 125 should be properly addressed and adjudicated as appropriate. Now, did Amnesty International count the instances of violence against the police during that 11 day period.
If the police would back off and let ANTIFA do what ever they want, and give the rest of society the same opportunity, there would be no more ANTIFA in less than 24-48 hours...Many parents basements would also be empty as well.
So are you going to do an article about all the police officers that were hurt by the rioters and looters, including the multiple police officers that have now been killed?
Ok. How much chaos and disruption of the daily activities of the average American citizen was done by the protesters? Why isn't anyone standing up for the infringements against the law abiding citizens? Let's start counting those offenses! I want my country back!
Yes. A cop blocks a left hook aimed at his chin...assault! He just injured a peaceful protesters knuckles. How dare they defend themselves!
125 isn’t enough. Come on LEOs, get to work.
And How many “incidents of violence” did the rioting anarchists commit against the police?
What about a blue birdie committing violence
Wow. The media lied to us and duped us into thinking it was race related and withholding the arrest video. Im sick.
Since no one seems to understand how most riots actually start :
They should have committed more
I really couldn’t stop laughing through this trash article
How many business burned to rubble ?
Wrong. And protesters killed people. How many people did police killed?
Alphastream There was a tweet thread with hundreds and hundreds of instances. But sure report about the tiny number. smh
How many instances of violent crimes against police ? disgraceful yellow journalism
Now do the “peaceful protestors” a.k.a. rioters.
George Floyd wasn’t killed. He died. That’s all we know. Oh, can you publish how many murders and assaults the RIOTERS committed over the same time period? Hint; it’s wayyyyy more than 125.
Now do jobs lost and deaths because of rioters
How many “instances of violence” did rioters commit against law enforcement?
Excellent. There should be much more!!!
the police should had beat the crap out of the criminals
Derekle30414249 That’s pretty good considering the many dangerous encounters that they endured with violent and insulting protesters. 👮♂️👍🏻🇺🇸
Riddle me shocked
How many instances of violence the other way. Gonna guess more.....
That seems low. I commend them for their restraint.
Really? Given the behavior of the rioters I'm surprised there weren't thousands. The police have shown remarkable restraint in the face of uncivilized cretins. I would not have shown so much restraint.
Of course they didn't. That's because those you mention weren't 'protestors'...they were 'rioters, looters, rapists, etc.' Do you really think your readers are so stupid as to not know the difference? Good heavens, stop treating your readers like they are morons.
Well, I think it is safe to say that the whole myth of GeorgeFloyd as the gentle giant and victim of white supremacy is pretty much done.
NPR's such a commie pos
Leaked Police Bodycam Video Shows George Floyd Resisting Arrest Moments Before His Death.
NPR predictably ignores the crimes of the protesters. Like killings, looting, destroying priv properties, federal bldgs etc etc. typical left wing NPR!
What about acts of violence against law enforcement officers?
Add a zero at least
How many crimes did rioters commit probably a number much much larger than 125
And how many thousands of instances of violence were committed by rioters on the police? Some protestors are simply the enabling pawns for the vandals and looters to follow, others come back after dark in their black hoodies to riot. Pull your heads out!
AI is a LEFTIST organization, and they LIE
Did they determine the value in damage tho?
I can’t wait for the leftist violent Antifa ‘protestors’ to move on to the leftist suburbs...so they can do more ‘peaceful’ protesting.
Not near enough
if you liked the riots before wait untill the officers are acquitted because they have been over charged.
You mean the of George Floyd
With impunity !!! Not right.
That wasn't enough these Terrorist deserve to be removed by the garbage truck after committing Terrorism in our cities.
His death was staged
So called protestors injured 100's of police, killed 24 black people, millions of dollars in damage, destroyed peoples businesses and are violent.
Really npr? Who cares? Tell us about the 12500 acts of violence; arson, vandalism, assault perpetrated by groups of criminal rioters...in the last month!
NPR, what bad reporting. The number of instances by the violent rioters far exceeded 125. It is amazing only 125 responses were needed. Me....way more to control the violent and criminal actions. I'm sure you feel the same way, had it been on your front lawn.
I can’t breathe was a lie! Bro was high and had a panic attack and asked to be on the ground! Screw these protesters we’re sick of this shit. Take the ski masks off assholes.
jonrog1 Then they need to check the Threadnought.
did they report on the injuries suffered by US law enforcement from the 'peaceful' protestors?
Yeah right! Look at whole Floyd video. Guess the Democrats lied to us again! There WAS NO RACIST INTENT! Will you, NPR admit the truth
nobody believes this
Who is counting the instances of protestors violence against police and against each other?
Rules of force change with riots taking place...whether you think you are rioting or not. If you are there...you are a rioter.
Corrupt organization that steals money
I guess they watched the edited videos that one ly showed police response, but none of the provocation? Of course, that's it, why else would they call people who riots, loot, burn, attack and kill protesters instead of terrorists?
For god sakes, stop lying. What kind of GF movement is it? Destroying America? Of course law enforcement officers have to intervene.
Leftest NPR calls rioting thugs protestors.
And how many by the protesters?
And 29 people killed by rioters
That's why they are protesting. FTP
Great source, real independent, unbiased view...
Does anyone know off hand who killed all the cops during the protests?
Seems low
They are out of control
How many acts of violence were perpetrated against the cops by protesters? Where is that number in the report
Cops are state funded domestic terrorists.
Throwing projectiles, starting fires, destroying property, and assaulting people are NOT PEACEFUL PROTESTORS! MSM is truly the enemy of the people. Disgraceful reporting.
Violence against rioters? Fu
“Instance of violence.” JFC, grow up.
You mean rioters.
Now do the numbers on how many police officers were killed, injured, and assaulted.
givemepie360 That number is not high enough
They did more than that.
*rioters
Interesting...the previous, more accurate headline was “FBI opens 300 investigations into acts of domestic terrorism related to violence/rioting.”
Wait....were you also counting the incidences of violence committed by protesters against police officers?
Considering the rioting and burning property that number should have been alot higher!!
That's all?
Good work by amnesty int to report not surprising, but where is the response to this from elected officials?
American democracy is dying
*Rioters
These aren't protestors npr. They're little momma boys that can't hold a job, protected by idiotic parents.
The thin blue line is the only thing that protects society from descending into chaos. Police protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder. Where would we be without the thin blue line?
Not protesters....violent rioting thugs
So I take it that industrial fireworks and steel bearings now can be used against protesters since they are classified as non lethal violence by Amensty International?
Excellent
How many aggravated assaults by rioters on citizens and law enforcement? Not to mention all the arson and vandalism.
Okay, now how many instances of violence did the protesters commit?
How many instances of violence against Police Officers took place?
Why is NPR still around spreading this left-wing propaganda?
That number seems low.
125? Is that all? They must have had one eye closed.
Let's look at the end game. In Portland, the gestapo left. We stood firm and the stormtroopers blinked.
Across the entire United States and during a longer period of time? Not too shabby. Given the circumstances of course it'll be higher than normal, but ideally that number should be as close to zero as possible.
With hundreds of thousands of people protesting, I believe this is a remarkably low number and every American should be proud of the police restraint demonstrated in it.
It’s like they wanted to start the violence....
How many violent acts dis the not peaceful protesters but the people looting a rioting make?
Guess Amnesty International got there just after the 'protesters' provoked that response, huh? What incredible timing. (And I mean that literally.)
how many instances of violence were committed against the police by Antifa ?
Now do how many the rioters did to police
That’s about as fake of a story that you can get lol. “Amnesty International” 😂😂😂
Gonna have to go with the over on that one
