Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Friday evening denounced vandalism in her city as"chaos" after demonstrations over the death of George Floyd while in in the custody of Minneapolis police turned violent.
"What I see happening on the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta. This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. This is chaos," an impassioned Lance Bottoms said at a news conference. "A protest has purpose. When Dr. King was assassinated, we didn't do this to our city," she said."If you want change in America, go and register to vote. ... That is the change we need in this country.
Don’t have faith in our Justice system? Why?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Say so.
Moving🙏
One Great Man's Speech should be the battle cry of the protest -- 'Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. -- Martin Luther King'
A beautiful sight to behold!!
Really they are cnn and mayors friends
You can rebuild a city but you can't rebuild life.
Worldwide police are known to escalate protests.
Black brothers in the United States, together against unfair treatment, like Martin Luther King, for their own freedom and equality of the bar, the people of the world stand with you.
It is a protest. You know nothing. Malcom X wisely said, with reference to the white man, 'If he is not ready to clean his house up, he should not have a house. It should catch on fire and burn down.' The MPD got what was coming - their advertised goal to serve and protect...
No kidding dip shit.

No Mayor Bottoms, we are not better than this We kill black people. We elected a sociopath as president. We elected a senate that won't do its job. We have a DOJ that is corrupt. We have a police force kills with impunity. No Mayor Bottoms, we are not better than this

Political Black women weaponized against the Black community
Ohh!At last year, many American media said that Hongkong riots are heroes,they are right.But now,why you say these protests are riots?Why?
Well, frankly speaking there are definitely mob taking advantage of the protests. Just please be fair and report HK riots the same way.
We Purging Baby
why is it chaos? It is rightful protest and is the beautiful sight to behold!
They are no longer protests, they are violent acts of terrorism and should be treated as such.
Whats changed? Oh a nimby liberal final gets it. DoNoHarm protests riots
Those people are going to far!
Whoever said protesting was supposed to be orderly? How is order and revolution landing in the same basket?
this is us not taking the shitt no more!!..we’ll vurn this whole shit down if need be!!
These are the people you champion, cnn. Behold the democrat base.
I love the conviction of this mother, not just the Mayor...she spoke from a sincere place in her heart. Rather than calling folks “thugs” like 45! This is leadership!
Do you see a pattern in the cities with riots? Melvin W. Carter III (D) Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) Muriel Bowser (D) Gregory Fischer (D) Bill de Blasio (D) Michael Hancock (D) Eric Michael Garcetti (D)
Dear CityofAtlanta mayor: running for a public office is like running for chaos. Learn this much. Permanent inequality boosts chaos. Learn this too. It's a boiler ready to explode.
Follow US Media and learning English🙂
Beautiful pictures that those rioters made.
This is what happens when the peaceful protest goes unheard
Good strong woman a leader
It’s very sad what’s happening in USA. I condemn the attack on CNN building. Not acceptable
Whether you are black American, Latin American,native American or any other person facing the same thing plz it's your time to fight for your rights everyone in this world deserves to live in peace coz we are all citizens of this world...LivesMatter
Really the Atlanta PD swat team saved CNN tonight...
America is a superpower country that is unable to manage its country, because its president has no brain, and only relies on emotions rather than common sense
There's no white without black, and no black without white. They all have to be intermixed to get a better colour. Hence, need each other. Justice for all.
Chaos.
This is a beautiful sight as your shameful politicians said . We all stand up with protesters
Let it burn
And apologized to all her wealthy campaign contributors in the process, mess...
Bless you. Praying for all of you. Tell them mayor!
Protesters are SuperSpreaders COVIDIOTSGOHOME COVIDIOTS ProtestersAreCOVIDSpreaders
Black Misleadership Class
Radical left Democrats and celebrities are funding these rioters..
With the exception of the destruction of the CNN sign, this event in Atlanta is apalling.
