The cuck who started it all.

This sounds scripted!! It’s the company line. Was George’s death planned?

yet he's in charge

CajunCee And 8 long years of Obummer did nothing! Nada. Who created the lowest black and unemployment? 45 realDonaldTrump that’s who! blexit BLEXIT baby

RichMavs77 Yet the moron didn’t do anything to stop it.

The sadness is in the ruins left behind in the city. Which the people will live with for years to come. All do to your incompetence ! Resign

A great Mayor .... but a very bad it in the White House who must go.....

Your a disgrace

I didn't see any 400 year olds looting the target. Frey is up to something and a lot of us know what it is.

Can Mayor Frey tell us, in a principled way, why anger exercised in this way is “right,” but anger at the destruction of a city is not?

'Dear fellow (((white people))). This is ALL your fault!' Signed, All the Jews. (B-B-B-but, we aren't white)

Yep

This isn't just about race this is about being a human being and what those cops did that man is wrong and they need to be punished for it. There needs to be justice and more then just being fired they need to be charged!!!!

Speak for yourself

You’re not (((fooling))) us. We know what you’re trying to do. You’ll pay.

BULLSHIT. Arrest the ones who were fired for killing the man, instead of letting paid protestors destroy the city. The federal government is NOT going to give you the funds to rebuild. Enjoy the lawsuits to follow. MayorFrey You handled it wrong, now handle the lawsuits!

ARREST ALL OF THOSE POLICE OFFICERS NOW NO EXCUSES

Bless you mayor! White people should be afraid of a civil war if this continue. No Black should be afraid of leaving home & they or they’re kid not returning because they’re Black. America let’s prevent a civil war& provide “Equal protection for all.“ USA enemies r watching

So he can justify violence when he wants to and arrest others any other day of the week. Your an idiot. And very weak as a leader.

Wikipedia early life

RadioChio And can't you get yourself in a more professional looking background? What's the thermostat set at?

RadioChio What a SLOPPY presentation! My hair looks better than that when I get out of bed! And that shirt collar & tie! Looks like a 3rd grader tied it.

Soooo true

Wow a leader!!! We need you!!

Democrat officials say the same thing after every incident involving police...Democrats hold the regains of power in Minneapolis AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CURB RACISM!

He Is A Horrible Actor. He Is Responsible For The Destruction. We Won't Let This Go. White Liberals Burning Black Communities.

Take the riots to his neighborhood, the streets where he lives. See if he’s as understanding then, bet he’s not!

Reaction to his death is because his murderers are not in jail . The police murdered a man in handcuffs begging for his life .

Oh please! That is a totally ridiculous statement. Minority communities have many advantages. It’s when they are taken over by Democrats that the problems start!!

This is y TRUMP will win! Dumbocrats talk that it's ok to be a black thug. No the police were wrong but it's not ok for blacks to go monkey's!

This guy gets it...

Animal House: 'BLOWJOB' via YouTube

Need a new mayor, not good!!

Omgosh maybe some white people are getting the message but I am sure most don't care. And that why this cycle goes on and on. Sad

And leave it to lying liberal fascists to encourage RIOTING, burning down buildings, stealing and looting because of “built up anger!” Destroying ur city, putting first responders in harms way is such an a typical liberal fascist response! Pathetic!

Exactly. Same old thing for ' HOW LONG' ?

These are all excuses from the mayor has lost control of his City. The killing of George is awful and needs to be addressed right away. But the burning of Minneapolis is one of the saddest things I've ever seen the mayor needs to resign

What about the white peole looting and burning. Do they have accept responsibility for their actions? Or do just the black people?

The mayor is full of shit

You think all these places like Target, Walmart, Autozone, etc. are going to rebuild and come back to these places? The answer is no. These people are setting fire to their own way of life. Lots of jobs gone. Families now without incomes or local places to shop. Made things worse

Really, I see a lot of smiles, like they think it’s funny and fun, street party.

What happened to Mr. Floyd, never should have happened. You can thank the orange fat boy in the White House for spreading and instigating racial violence. He has chains of justice that’s about to come down on his like a level 6 hurricane on his soul.

Arrest the cop

lifeofmshaba It's time to do the right thing for our future happiness. Being driven by anger and sadness will not gives us our brighten future but it will destroy us all.

These “victims” are just venting - yeah, right. What the cop did was wrong, what the rioters did was wrong. Two wrongs don’t make a right. MinneapolisRiot

1 guess who was at fault for anger & fear. Demokraps.

If they can’t get it right after 400yrs then they’ll never fix it. Maybe it’s time to become the ‘Divided States of America’s and give everyone their own state and let people live by themselves. You’re no more ‘United’.

Do some homework Frey, what horrors did one of the most historically liberal non-slave states in the USA today inflict on its black citizens for 400 years? You are a sophomoric fraud not fit to be student council president,

Snowflake mayor looks like he is about to burst into tears.Oh well, people get the leaders they deserve.

Reap the whirlwind Jacob. Enabling looters, rioters and thugs gives you no say. None at all.

Really?

How is he more well spoken then the president of the United States? He at least sounds like he gets it.

Appreciating the integrity and hope for unity

3 Months on Internment.

This cuck fake cried in front of the whole nation. He absolutely loves what is happening right now.

Man I thought we had a shitty mayor in Baltimore but this dude is a simp

I wouldn't be surprised if these rioters were given orders straight from the Democrat Governor's mansion. Antifa and BLM r the terrorists arm of the Democrat Plantation Party who will go to any lengths to destroy the peace, economy and jobs if it means to win elections.

Somebody bitchslap this punk

Wow, 400 years! Clearly, the only solution is for the races to go their separate ways. Let’s end all this oppression.

Many people and cultures, over the span of the world’s history have suffered.

What a maroon...

No JUSTICE No PEACE.

Pathetic. Excusing domestic terrorism doesn't help anything.

Well, small business owners and franchisees of Minneapolis... you just heard it from the top; you’re no longer wanted there.

Ummm so he’s...attractive

Reperations.

Oh.

I can simultaneously think that Floyd’s death was tragic and requires accountability AND that there is no excuse for the behaviour of the rioters, can you?

Every patrol car should have one white person and one black person- this won’t fix the mindset or racism- but it’s a solution for right now- it’s called balance

You can’t ignore the pain .

I don’t think allowing a city to be totally destroyed is the answer these people that did this should be prosecuted no excuse for it all these people acted like wild animals it wasn’t about the death of this man it’s about criminals taking advantage of a bad situation

Thank you for acknowledging that. Blacks have lived through Hell. We have to bare witness to their current suffering of COVID singling them out and study why that is.

CristianSabarre they really hate themselves and need to find oppression in a 1st world country.

Poor little angels keep justifying their thuggish behavior , and no I am not condoning the officers behavior they should atone for what they did once the investigation in this case is completed.

This poor guy is not up to the job. Once you start blaming events from 400 years ago to justify riots and looting you reveal your true character. Minnesota and their citizens elected a cuck and he just doesn’t know what to do.

How angry will they be when they realized it was set up? A hit job. And ANTIFA showed up to assist.....

Always fking Democrats!

So an excuse for the rioters? Not surprised at all

Correct, that the democrat party perpetrated onto the black community for decades, 🚫 every attempt to desegragate, So that all men are actually created equal. Another note democrats have a horrible womens rights record too. Seems like its ingrained in their platform

If you don't feel something then you might need to check if you have a heart. It's happening on a daily basis. Your not safe in your car, in your home, at work. Where then? Where?

But not because of a murdering cop who is still not arrested.

How many lockers did he get shoved into in high school

Hopefully businesses don’t rebuild after this foolishness.

Ok this mayor is a douche. Total bs. 400 years of slavery? Slavery hasn't existed for a long time. Guy is a dope

Where’s the body?

“Barber, for my haircut this month I’d like the Beta. Please and thank you.”

Oh fuck that shit

The police officer who killed Floyd needs to be charged with murder. The rioters who started the fires need to be charged with arson. These things are not mutually exclusive.

No, it’s scumbags taking advantage of a horrible situation.

312shelly3 America has never tried to repair the harms & theft of slavery, redlining, poll taxes, Jim Crow ....

Bad actor

Protesters are not above the law. If you break stuff, you're going down.

Im angry about 13/50

STOP talking about what you know NOTHING about!

this dude is a coward......tells everything u need to kno about minneapolis voters, is that not where ilhan omar represents

MayorFrey CHARGE THE POLICE. FIRE MICHAEL FREEMAN. YOUT SYSTEM IS EMBEDDED IN RACISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY

Governor asks National Guard to crack down on blacks. If it doesn't make you angry this time, you'll be the next black man to be killed. Standing with black people! Make the white man pay and apologize.

Countless people including the mayor himself are trying to sell the narrative that a bunch of thugs stealing and burning property of people who had nothing to do with the incident are actually the victims and to be forgiven/pitied. Lock them all up. You’ve all lost the plot.

Unacceptable leadership! Jacob_Frey What are you doing to protect Mpls and uphold the law? Please explain... Connecticuttransplant

It’s a sad day for Minneapolis and it’s hard to be supportive of protestors of this terrible moral injustice when the protesters make it worse rather than better by going to loot and destroy. Nobody claimed the police were right and nobody claimed it wasn’t an injustice.

Jacob Frey is a Jew.

Looks like a dime store Trudeau.

Oh, bullshit. It is a group of domestic terrorists itching to find a reason to start riots and chaos. Take strong action to stop them and quit using stupid excuses. Untie the police officers hands and let them do their job.

bullshit

Murder, you mean murder

These mayors are so dishonest and culpable

Black people were not in Minnesota 400 years ago

Ingrained by the Democrat party using them for a farm of votes. Till blacks smarten up and are able to sustain their families without being on the Dem dole, they will be used. Walk away and take advantage of the opportunity Trump is offering instead of claiming victim hood.

This is pretty pander-ey even for a white Democratic mayor

Shame on you MayorFrey giving out permits to burn down town. This is on your hands!

But doesn't condemn the arson....

frey

I thought voting for Dems would fix all of that? 🤔

Riots sure made a change in California back in early 90’s!! Changed the police a lot. Not enough but a lot.

Words words words. No arrest and we see where this is going. Nowhere.

Enabler of rioting, looting, arson, vandalism, assault, etc. Good work Minneapolis, you are well on your way to becoming Baltimore.

Breaking: Greeks can burn Muslim businesses because of the 400 years of Muslim colonial oppression

Jewish people get shot at at stores and on streets, attacked in synagogues but you never hear a mayor say this has been going on for 2000 years. Why is that? Maybe because we are white. Democrat strategy: Never waste an opportunity.

Simplord

How’s he gonna bring those businesses back? By crying?

We haven’t even been a nation for 400 years idiot

How to get rich in media: 1. Someone gets killed 2. Media stokes racial hatred 3. Media and social media rage over 'systemic racism' 4. People on the streets rage over 'systemic racism' 5. Riots break out 6. Media cashes in on riot coverage and criminals get free shit racket

You can't let those police get away with this, that image will never leave my mind. So sad for that community and the country as a whole.

Keep coming up with excuses for this behavior, and they will continue engaging in it. How does looting a Target help their cause? Or burning down local businesses? It only hurts their own community. They deserve NO fed, state, or local funds to help rebuild what THEY destroyed.

He’s a race baiting jacka$$.PD murdered a man who was already handcuffed.Has Any1 asked why different cops arrested him than 1s who killed him?Where did others go?Why does cop have different badge than others? The 2 worked together 4 bar security-this was set up 2 incite violence

Give me a f break. Nothing but cockroaches I see stealing. White folk are feed up.

looting is ok: mayor

(He gives no damns about anything but a vote) DemsAreDestroyingAmerica

So the history of Minneapolis's black community goes back to 1620? That's a neat trick.

At some point blacks will stop using slavery as an excuse and whites will stop using it for them.

Every. Single. Time.

More like 70 years of leftist policy encouraging single motherhood, stripping fathers from homes and excessive welfare.

Oh for F’s sake, that is asinine. No one is alive from 400 years ago. ignorant Liberalism is a disease.

🤦🏻‍♂️

This is an explanation or insight, not an excuse.

Cuck

I can smell the soy through this video. What a wimp of a man.

Thank you, Mayor Jacob Frey for making an argument for an ethnostate. If 400 years isn't enough to end tension between two races then pretty nothing will.

Or, maybe perhaps, its that the state has car5 blanche authority to enact violence on its citizens and he helped create this atmosphere?

Funny how forgot to put the - (D) after the Mayor’s name. FYI, this “justification” provided is the worst kind of racism. Also, it’s in stark contrast to the police chief’s “these weren’t local citizens” press statement.

Race-baiting much?

Phony. Liar. He knew about this already.

None of it justifies setting fire to people’s homes and businesses. Keep voting democrat, dummies!

People like him should not be in a position of power EVER!!

Ffs.

Got 15 seconds into it and could see Fake As F!!!

Jacob_Frey stop making excuses for anarchy. The murder was horrific, sickening and will be dealt with. However, there is no excuse ever for inciting a riot and harming a community that provides housing services and jobs. To condone this makes me sick.

How much more of a pussie could you be mayor?

atrupar he looks exhausted and sad.

I don’t think I saw one 400 year-old person in that group

Cmon, not one of person here ever picked cotton. I am not insensitive, but for one thats an excuse and second violence, looting, rioting will not help and has nothing to do with that poor mans death, by a power hungry cop, clearly the cops should all be in jail, smh...

These ppl are 400 years old!!

Man-Boy Mayor assumes that all the rioters are black? It seemed there are two groups at work here: legitimate righteous protesters, and rioters. Painting them as the same is purposeful, and cowardly.

ManufacturedRaceWar

He & others are clueless to reality...even MInny own police chief said most rioters were from outside the area...what’s that tell you Paid thugs went into Minneapolis & destroyed it, leaving the carnage & mess for those that live there. They don’t care about GeorgeFloyd

It seems like he's deflecting the responsibility for his police departments very recent actions. 'It's not that my police just killed a man and then tear gassed the protestors, it's historic racism.'

Fuck off, there's no justification for this

In other words: it's white peoples fault that blacks rioted, like literally everything is. Besides when we do cool shit like go to the moon, the women in hidden figures sent us to the moon

MayorFrey Bet it's intentional for you rotten Dems to extend the protests by not arresting the evil cop even until the November vote if you could. SenateGOP HouseGOP WhiteHouse kayleighmcenany POTUS

I do love when Caucasian men tell Black Communities how they should feel. Sounds like what happened 200 years ago

I.e. we are systemically teaching that anger/hatred (it ain’t sadness chief) and training people to see it as a currency.

While horrible, what happened to GeorgeFloyd, I’d like to give JacobFrey and others a history lesson. There was NO American flag 400 years ago! The ships were from France, UK, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, and Netherlands. Finally, you control your own actions and destiny!

Including the last 60 years based on false promises from the TheDemocrats. As LBJ said he’d have the black voters voting for that party for 200 years.

Soooooo every race should riot and burn down Minneapolis ?

Oh FO😬🙄

Why doesn't he sacrifice his own livelihood to the mob? Politicians only sacrifice others.

Minnesota’s own Justin Trudeau

He’s responsible and should resign immediately. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing

😂

Wish they burned this guys house, and then get a comment

Translation... Riots and Looting always solve problems and should be accepted as normal. I'm a moron and don't know what to do so i will virtue signal so no one else get pissed off... I suck at being a mayor and i look like i just woke up... Thank you very much.

Deflecting.

AmeshiaCross it was much longer than 5 minutes. Derek Chauvin had ample time to reconsider his actions. George's murder was premeditated and unjust. if they were going to arrest him they should have taken him to jail w/o executing him in the street

AMERICA HAS NOT EXISTED FOR 400 YEARS

You make your own bed.

When will this liberal asshole take responsibility for HIS administration and HIS police farce.

no surprise here.

BUT THEY'RE SPREADING CORONAVIRUS EVERYWHERE.

At least he gets it

400 years, are you friggin kidding me................

Patronizing at its best.

And the video of the MURDER isn’t enough evidence to arrest the murderers. This is ridiculous. I say keep Resisting until these monsters are in prison.

Thanks jew!

Oh yeah and target has to atone for 400 years. What a lot of bullshite

400 years? What? Our country is only 245 years old. You are crazy!

Frey is the first white american I have ever heard admit that there has been 400 years of racism. The trouble is not only don't whites speak out but blacks in positions of power refuse to speak out even Obama is scared to speak up.

it's his fault. He must have case of neglect of duty and also the police must have case of police brutality and physical abuse.

Stop making excuses

So , violence like this has an answer . Ok

Same speech .

“They can’t help but be violent and Destructive” says White Liberal about Black People

What's up with these blue states? Fix your sh*t.

What a clown

iBMeauxses KamsDoll

Who is this drunk? Mayor? Are you kidding me... Minnesota is toast.

Oh please! What a disgusting response. It’s offensive and weak.

Every other race/culture has trauma in its history, and only one is allowed to act like fucking animals.

That's cuck talk right their.

No one is going to want to live in your dumpster fire of a city unless you get it under control.

Why are you creating separation? THERE IS NO ISSUE OF COLOR. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF INJUSTICE! WE ARE HUMANS. You are a small minded bafoon. HUMANS SEE NO COLOR! GeorgeFloyd Qanon Unity

So MayorFrey is condoning destruction of his city, because it's 'right'. Hard working people had their lives destroyed. Reminder that the hate he is talking about for 400 years was amplified by the Democrat party, from their forming the KKK over the last century, to now.

So keep letting your city burn, businesses get vandalized (minority owned as well), and let people get hurt or killed? Got it!

The whiteliberal wokety wokeism strikes again! Black people are children who can not handle emotional times so therfore we understand STEALING, LOOTING, BURNING LOW-INCOME HOUSING & BLACK PEOPLE'S JOBS AT AUTOZONE AND TARGET WHO HIRES BLACK PEOPLE SAYS THE RACIST WHITELIBERAL

Stop enabling them. Anger & sadness are not excuses for stealing or setting fires. If you want to be treated with respect be respectful.

Think about all of this when you vote next.

That’s a damn excuse! Nobody Cares!

I just want to brush his hair.

Trump has done more to help African Americans than any slick talking Democrat.

No dummy. This is the result of criminals looting, laughing and being lawless. Americans all think what this policeman did was horrible. STOP with the racial S*it!

Keep voting for Democrats. Insanity. Minneapolis. Baltimore. LA. What do they all have in common.

They're stealing electronics for being upset for something that ended over 150 years ago. None of them were slaves and none of the white people they hurt had slaves.

He’s campaigning y’all. Ridiculous

'anger and sadness that has been ingrained in our black community—not just because of five minutes of horror, but 400 years.' No one is 400 years old in Minneapolis. Minneapolis has had a Republican Mayor for 2 days since 1962. WhenDemocratsRule

So it's okay to burn down the city... Got it

He talks like Justin Trudeau, just sounds like gargling shit.

Wow, i thought DeBlasio was bad at this stuff

People have a right to feel sad and angry but opportunists used this as a way to get free stuff and destroy. How did any of that hurt the persons that allowed this to happen. Grow up

How many low income housing projects ought to be burned down before we can overcome racism? 10? 20? 1000?

Where's the evidence for anything he's saying? Where's the reporting? Where's the fact checks?

There is a stark difference between understanding their emotions and what actually transpired there. You know what, let them repeatedly destroy their communities if they think that makes things better. Devil may care as they say.

I didn't even know that Minneapolis was 400 years old.

He is a LIAR. It’s people like this guy who need to be voted out next election. These are crocodile tears.

Cool story bro.

Someone tell this clown that the US started about 250 years ago, not 400!😄 What an idiot!🤦‍♂️

400 years. really? do we have 400 yr old ppl in MN? and by my view MN has had issues since it's been run by dems and making their minority communities beholden to gov to keep them in line and poor.

Or one term as failed mayor. Also did this guy get a perm for his press conference?

This is the result of democratic rule for many years. No accountability, nothing changes

Does he have a D next to his name... or is it stuck in his throat?

The Arab slave trade started all of this. Blame them

Shut up

Right. Don’t look here. Look over there!

YES anger and sadness CAUSED by the CROOKED AZZ MEDIA, Democrats Daily stories of racial injustice, daily opinions, NEVER JUST FACTS does it CBSNews cnn msnbc UnivisionNews FoxNews All do it, caught lying about facts, distorting facts fakenews

I believe the Mayor is attempting to do the right thing, particularly his calls for charges. However, I have to respectfully disagree with him on this. The video, and subsequent ones that have come out regarding this incident alone, should cause anyone significant outrage.

He gets it.

Let that motherfucker be killed too, that will calm out 400 years anger down.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I wish I could lay my hand on that murderer and strangle him to death, so he feels the pain and see death, I want him to stop breathing right before my eyes, then Floyd will rejoice.

We tried silent and peaceful protests. You tear gassed us and hit us with water hoses like we were animals. It's time to burn this country to the ground. You won't keep killing us like vermin. We will fight you back.

You’re right mayor, so please do your best to charge and lock up the killer cop. ASAP Floyd deserves justice.

Maybe your police department is the one that needs to be looked at !

Thank you for understanding. I wish you all peace.

VerminSupreme Omg... He's right. A politician is right.

FREY MUST RESIGN. HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT BOTH SIDES HAVE THEIR OWN VALID POINT OF VIEW. HE IS USELESS TO THE STRUGGLE.

Toure Look at the pictures of slavery whipped backs, chains, rapes,lynching.Think of lost economic opportunity and growth, education as a basic rights, voting rights...do you see no crime?

Still doesn’t justify destroying property. How many blacks that work in those buildings have now lost their jobs. How about you can be angry at both the killing and the property destruction?

TheView

TheView Oh, God! Give me a freaking break!

Good! More of this, please.

Both sides of the political aisles are aligned behind the idea that these officers should stand trial...maybe the most united reaction in the last 50 years...but sure...make this about 400 years, that no one alive had an opportunity to change. Bad take, Mayor.

Analysis: he’s saying it’s not his fault and that ppl can keep looting

Stop trying to justify the lawless actions. There is no excuse for what the protesters are doing. Nothing but being fucking criminals. Great way for them to get their point across.

Funny how these situations keep springing up in very blue, very democrat controlled cities and states.

This is so true✊🏾

Ahh, white guilt speaks.

TheView Oh please...

400 years? How long has Minnesota been a State? When did the Great Black Migration north up the Mississippi River happen?

Ah it

Oh my god...this is biabolical. That thug ;uniformed white neaderthal with forehead the size of Brazil.Lobotomise that villain n his colleagues. Family I am so so sorry

Accurate

The values we all claim to have shift and vary according to circumstance. Today black people do not have to fall into fears of 400 years ago. 🇺🇸 'For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?'

Literally all of this could’ve been avoided if they’d just charged the cop.

Uh, blame the acient times. Good one.

Well, I agree. The Mayor has a strong point!

Perfect Mr. Mayor.

GeorgeFloyd

sergenyt The problem with Jacob_Frey statement is the white AntifaTerrorists that destroyed the charter school for poor kids, affordable housing units, and community businesses can make no such claim.

We've been hearing 'soft and compelling' answers from 'our leaders', perhaps that is the reason why this continues to happen! And it will until these 'leaders' understand that we really need tougher sanctions against bad cops! Tougher that anyone else because 'they are the law'!

It’s their way of retaliation

We do understand why they are angry. More must be done to ensure this never happens again.

I love this guy!!

I’m sorry but Looting and Arson are not Protests but Criminal Acts no matter what your upset about.

Haha what a douche

I appreciate this man. Also he looks like a better version of Patrick Dempsey.

Wow thank you I got chills

It was murder. Plain and simple

By the Democrats, time to vote Red and be freed by President Trump.

TheView Yet charges still have not been filed for the murder of GeorgeFloyd. These statements are true & need to be said but AFTER these cops are arrested & charged for murder

This man reminded me of actor Patrick Dempsey

There ya go. Justify it.

Please don't make an excuse and give cause as to why people are acting like animals and destroying, looting. etc. Saying its ok for the black community to do this is a racist statement all to itself. This is not the right way for justice

From the Nashville National Cemetery. This war ended but the racism continued. The battle goes on in our neighborhoods, our corporate board rooms, and our hearts.

EliStokols I love this man.

A wise and truthful statement and whites should protest killing of blacks which is happening ad nauseum.

Burning bridges won't build them....

Stop punching Jews. Stop hating Asians. Stop abusing Native Americans. Stop reclassifying Latinos as white to disenfranchise them by redefining their community as being a white aryan master race. Ever been to a Mexican restaurant?I disagree with the ‘white Latino’ category.

And you wonder why mpls is so messed up, lol.

Here's a solution. Don't allow White Cops to interact physically with Blacks. Don't even let them ride into Black neighborhoods. And vice-versa. Let the separate races handle their own. At least we won't need to hear any more shit like this.

400 years the US wasn’t found and we don’t know anything back then besides you read history so why bring up what’s happened 400 years ago. Why not instilled common sense in young generation you idiot

Condem the rioters AND the cop’s action. You’re not justified. You’re being animals that’s not what DMLK would have wanted

This man is so empathetic, you can see he is holding back the tears, we need more people like this in office. Take a lesson realDonaldTrump ...

Words only do so much. As you speak, St. Paul is now reportedly being looted. What a joke this state has become!

I like this MinneapolisMayor MayorFrey for showing leadership at the time of need. He deserves better than MayoralSeat and thank you for StandingWithTruth and JusticeForFloyd and by saying this it means that something can be done to change this RIPGeorgeFloyd

This guy is speaking truth.Good for him..The rest of the sorry Fucks in positions of Power need to take notes.. This guy seems to get it...

Pass that buck

HERE THEY COME

Frey is enabling the riots. He has shown No leadership, just trying to cover has A$$. This man is pathetic. Frey needs to just say it was a tragic death and will be taken care of. If you riot, this too will be tragic and will be taken care of!

ArrestAll4Now GeorgeFloyd

MayorFrey Don’t speak about 400 years of oppression. As a young white male it doesn’t suit you or the situation. Stick to the facts of this case and stay away from historical rhetoric. Fix Minneapolis.

MayorFrey Resign. Pathetic statement. JFC

Not sure he had enough soy in his latte this morning. MinneapolisPD reports to this clown?

Heh, is he doing a disservice to those in city he was elected to serve?

I can’t tell if this dude is for real or he’s saying what he thinks people want to hear to try to hide corruption.

Ice Cube spoke on this again a cuppa years ago.

So he's just bending over and excusing looting. Fine, democrats are gonna democrat when it comes to burning down businesses and low income housing.

Typical assine response

MLK...peaceful protests. Those people didn't give a crap about that poor guy losing his life. They wanted big screen TVs. Ridiculous response from the Mayor.

So Frey has been a Minneapolis politician since 2013, and only noew he's recognized the racism in his city? Couldn't he have done something in the last seven years to stop abuses in the police department? Where is his accountability before the Floyd tragedy?

This is what you get when you elect a radical leftist activist government.

Nah it’s just some losers who want free tvs.

Liberals proving once again that a dead black man’s life is only worth the value of some looted TVs.

That's strange I wonder why they don't do it everyday then

Stop voting for Democrats. Make the change you want to see

He’s right. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

MORE: 'If you're feeling that sadness and that anger, it's not only understandable—it's right,' Frey says. 'It's a reflection of the truth that our black community has lived...That sadness must also be understood by our non-black communities.'

Frey looks like the only public official who has actually gone without a haircut.

so burning down the city is an appropriate response?

Crimes are not new to you. usa kills Iraqis and helps ISIS America, the country of terrorists

Democratic protest, recovery of America, police violence

There called riots

I’m not a black lives matter fan or a kaepernick fan or a democrat fan but that cop should be in jail no doubt!!

They really don't give a Shit about George !! It's all about the rioting, burning and most of all the ,LOOTING 😤

Here I fixed your story. Those people are not protestors. Th eu are rioters. You welcome

The oriole are crying out for justice Gov ! You need to do what’s right & lock up the murderous Nazi Cop !

How about this appalling act Liberal/Democrat MSM ... Disturbing Video shows man punching an elderly man in the face in a nursing home. Police have since arrested this man.

The United states of America hasn't grown up yet still living in the dark ages and even worse a racist president trump

How many more riots well the news media cause

I lived in Detroit in 1967. 53 years and racism/police brutality still the same.

Democrat controlled cities eventually become Sholes. Just another example.

If the protestors were all armed white men, the police would have shaken their hands.

COMO EN MUCHAS PARTES DEL MUNDO. CIERTOS POLICIAS ACTUAN. COMO SADICOS Y LA PINCHE PRENSA NUNCA DA SEGUIMIENTO PORQUE

Cops deserve what they get!! GeorgeFloydWasMurdered

We stand With American for their fights for human rights

Why do people feel it’s OK to take out their grievances on innocent stores & businesses. Looting? Destruction? It dishonors the memory of the lost loved one...🥀

Nothing says “that man’s actions were wrong” like burning down the city you live in.

The video I saw shows what happened is wrong and I do hope those police officers are brought before the court for their crimes. But how is damaging businesses that had nothing to do with this a protest? It’s a crime. They are rioters not protesters.
