Demonstrators expressed outrage and grief across the nation over the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed by police.
Protesters were allowed to march in the streets until shortly before midnight when officers, outfitted in riot gear, began firing tear gas into the crowds, according to the news station. The officers were shot after a vehicle approached the building, and"an individual inside the vehicle began firing." Authorities have not linked the shooting with the protests, though the incident is under a joint investigation by the Oakland Police Department and local FBI office.
The new strategy included deploying a column of National Guard troops, including armored vehicles, to respond to protests near the 5th Precinct. People had set fire to the 3rd Precinct on Thursday night, forcing police to abandon the building. Frey said he was"reeling" along with the rest of his city over Floyd's death but emphasized that"there is no honor in burning down your city." He pointed out that local businesses and institutions that many citizens depend on amid the coronavirus pandemic that had been destroyed.
Why doesn’t anyone protest with a hunger strike anymore?
This ain't grief. This is rioting.

Violence helps with grieving.
Yippy organization is part of the problem not the solution
Don’t worry... I’m sure JoeBiden will save us. He did nothing for 48 years... but here he comes!!
Yes I saw gow they’re stealing TV and breaking into stores. That’s not the way to request justice. Send the dogs to control these people
Interview Mayors. Are they going to comb through their PDs, find and fire bad cops? RootThemOut
As long as they don't climb the fence, they are good to go.
Keep locking people up. They eventually come out with a vengeance.
Maybe death penalty for the killer.
Cops need to feel Helplessness the same as citizens do. We're not beasts but they make us victims - haven't they heard we are innocent until proven guilty? They must feel the vulnerability, fear, powerlessness & hurt they beat into us. Where are the good ones, the Serpicos?
No good
The bugaloo militias are out. Trump has called and they have responded. Now they are coming for us all. Acquire weapons now for self-protection
Report the news, you racist partisan hacks
For those who don’t get it, April 29, 1992 (Miami) by sublime. The song not only explains it, but warned us all what would happen if we didn’t change, especially the end.
umm Protest or Riot
I have not seen one single protest. All I have seen is riots and violence. Perhaps you should do a little more covering of the positive and a lot less glorification of the horrendous.
Some are, most are just joy riding on other people’s pain to cause mayhem.
Another prime example of why NPR should not try to report news. The shooting in Oakland, so far, appears to be totally unconnected to the protests. You may as well have said '50 people died of cancer tonight, amid nationwide protests.' Do kids shows and stop trying to report news
But have you heard of Tony Timpa
I do not believe the violence is coming from the protesters who are showing their grief and pain over the senseless murders of their own. The looters and destroyers are from out of state. They’ve been hired to burn the black communities..BLM to Americans.
Americans? Just regular people grieving?
These are NOT demonstrations! These are terrorist attacks!
Safe to assume that the police killed the two
It's about George Floyd and all the other black people murdered by police, and the entire white racist system, that maintains and benefits from it.
Where is the reporting on Gov Walz's comments on these protests being hijacked by outsiders? Whether antifascists or White Supremists? Where is the information we need?
GOP/Monarchy, Please remove this administration. It is creating a failed state of the US. Anytime during 2 crises, the ‘president’ is advocating antiseptic injections and publicly threatening Americans with his superior firepower, your house is not in order & it shows. Remove45
Between the violence and the current pandemic that everyone seems to not care about now for some reason, more people will probably die from these protests than questionable police shootings from the last few years. So dumb.
Fake news. This is not about George
The violence that's emerging is coordinated and instigated by white supremacists to try to discredit black protesters. Maybe what NPR could do is investigate if these violent white supremacists are being paid by the GOP? Because that would be quite a scoop if true.
This is not JUST about the death of George Floyd. George became the catalyst that sparked what we are seeing now.There has been a breach in the limit of tolerance our society is willing to accept from leadership and law enforcement who seem to have been compromised by Wht suprcst
The grief & outrage is from Floyd AND the thousands of other people of color killed by police on and off camera for decades. AND Nothing was done to change it
You forgot to mention the 'vicious dogs'
Democrat terrorists. This is the new Nazi movement
These aren’t demonstrations you idiots..they are riots...and these are criminals... what a horrible way to honor George Floyd. Thugs for sure!
Police chief ChiefAndyMills of Santa Cruz CA
Sadly, no one seems to care about the huge black on black murder rate. Black lives only matter if the killer is a white cop. Just saying...
This has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd! Get a clue, you’re supposed to be a news organization! Do your damn research!
How come no one seen him get arrested ?
If this is AmericaFirst i would hate to see AmericaSecond
The starkly different ways the media have portrayed these protests and the lockdown protests shows their naked bias...
Scumbags
Tell the truth NPR. Transient MAGATs across the nation are bringing destruction to America because they can. We need a real president not a detached, evil king.
It’s the Russians and white nationalists
By repeatedly saying this is simply over the murder of Mr. Floyd you are deliberately distorting the context and the gravity of what is currently going on in this country.
It’s outrageous white people are using the cover of a tragedy of a black person to basically become vile criminals and riot and burn the very black communities harmed by the killing of GeorgeFlyod. It’s victimizering them again. racism
Those violent are no better than bad cops!
NoJusticeNoPeace NoRacistPolice ✊♥️
Democrats are killing people in their own neighborhoods
They’re called Riots.
white nationalists
You’re no better than bad cops when you commit violence!
Here in Los Angeles things are not good. The LAPD is not good at this. See King, Rodney.
Time to put humanity back in the center ring. Try that on for a change.
NPR is on the side of the rioters and looters. Why do American taxpayers pay to fund NPR?
putim will be happy trump has one master and it is putin
Not just Floyd, but every POC who got murdered by the police.
STOP THE VIOLENCE!
STAND YOUR GROUND!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! CanYouSeeUsNow GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
Why hasn’t anyone come up with a plan to end police brutality? Or at least something cursory?
400 years of racial terror.
With police and white supremacist incited violence emerging in some cities*. There. Fixed.
Looters aren't sad enough yet
