There were at least 50 arrests Friday night in New York City due to protests over the death of George Floyd, a senior New York Police Department official says.

"This city that has had a legacy of black mayors and black police chiefs," Bottoms said."if you care about this city then go home. This won't change anything."

The mayor said Atlanta rapper T.I. and activist Killer Mike, who later took to the same lectern at a news conference to urge peace,"own half the Westside -- so when you burn down this city you’re burning down our community."Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., also delivered remarks at the news conference, noting her father, born in Atlanta, was steadfast about nonviolent protest."The only pathway I know how to do this is through nonviolent means," she said.

Some of those protestors targeted CNN's nearby building, breaking windows and defacing the large CNN sign outside the building. A small group of police officers entered the buildings to ensure protestors did remained on the outside. CNN broadcast scenes from the building's lobby where law enforcement had been positioned. At one point, some small explosions that appeared to be firecrackers thrown by protestors into the building pushed CNN's Nick Valencia to retreat farther into the building.

Don’t spread fake news. Arrest against looting is legal and necessary. Large number of unemployment will cause many looting.

People are rioting and looting in cities mismanaged by corrupt democrat mayors who have used the police to surpress and kill minorities. Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, NYC, DC, etc are all run my democrat mayors and the people are now revolting against the democrat party.

These democrats are deplorable!

Imagine if every mom shows up tomorrow to protest because his mom can not be there for him. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered

Good job NYC! Now we need more cities to make arrests and at higher numbers. It’s the only way these criminals will get the message and we’ll start to unravel the true picture of what’s behind all this. It’s clearly not the legitimate protesters and most are traveling to cities.

Antifa decided to join the protest . I hope the black community sees what these white liberals are doing to their movement . It was bipartisan support until Antifa came around

fight for freedom and democracy in Taiwan and Hong Kong. but this is violence

and the idiot in charge says he's 'with the protestors'. Well, no big surprise.

Riots

Protest without ANARCHY & their dumb$$e$ won't get gassed. Their being unproductive with the looting & arson fires of innocent businesses that folks need to feed their families. It's F'KN pathetic, this is not honoring JusticeForGeorge!!!

White House briefly locked down as unrest spreads to Atlanta, DC, NYC after George Floyd deathThe White House was under a brief lockdown Friday night as protests erupted across the country over the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, bringing tensions to a boiling point and forcing one of the Twin Cities to issue a curfew while demonstrators clashed with police across the U.S. They breach the perimeters, they get what they came for, 🤔 justice !!! This is the result of the radical left agenda all over the world. Same disgrace we are seeing in Chile. American society is getting so violent and aggressive. You guys accept it from your President so it's free for all. And the world is watching and drawing its conclusions.

George Floyd protests in NYC turn violent: Officers punched, pelted, more than 40 people arrestedNew York City police arrested more than 40 demonstrators Thursday evening after violent protests that followed the death of a man in police custody in Minnesota earlier in the week, police said. They continuously do crazy stuff & makes the story about themselves. If they want Justice they would not do what they are doing. But they are allowed to get away with it & it will continue. This is about a man who isn’t with us & a man who it looks like to me took that life. That Media is the reason for all this violence. They give it all the coverage encouraging the protesters to destruction.

Reckoning With The Dead: Journalist Goes Inside An NYC COVID-19 Disaster MorgueW.J. Hennigan used to be a war reporter. But, he says, 'nothing really prepared me for the level of devastation and the amount of death' he faced while embedded with the workers caring for the bodies of some 20,000 New Yorkers who've died of COVID-19. Poor management. Strange that you are only really hearing about how horrible it is in Cuomo’s state. Thanking the National Guard for their search and recovery of the dead in NYC. No one thought you would be signing up for this level death work. Gratitude. 😔 💔
