The demonstrators at the “We can’t breathe” vigil and rally in lower Manhattan were pressing for legislation outlawing the police “chokehold” used by a city police officer in the 2014 death of Eric Garner, who was also black.In an impassioned speech, Bernice King, the youngest daughter of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.

Oh you really helping out here Reuter’s duh...

veselovskyma americane se v reakci na umrti zatykaneho rozhodli promorit.

Stop the riot

When will the FBI investigate the coordinated attacks on police stations and businesses by groups like Antifa as domestic terrorism?

At this time, where did the human rights organization go?

they are like HK people peacefully protesting

Well i thought this kind of illetrate type of protest only happens in india where citizens destroy their own public property whatsoever shame on this kind of protests

ANTIFA black block use MSM propaganda to try to start play acting 'revolution'. Has nothing to do with the unjust killing of George Floyd. Democrats using minorities. SSDD

I can't help but think that on top of centuries worth of issues that a part of this is because, while having a very diverse group of candidates, Democrats ignored them and forced in a racist, pervert to run. Wake up! If you don't like Trump than you certainly feel no hope now.

Riots, they are riots.

In Democrat cities you can get arrested for opening a business, but not for looting one. MinneapolisRiot Coronavirus

veselovskyma Rioting and violence cannot be called as protests. Call things properly! Violence is violence. There aren't protesters, those are criminals. Such fogging, as you do, just supports crimes on innocent people and those on duty. That's just disrespect.

These people are attention whores...pure and simple...they magnify racist incidents to appear to be bigger than it really is...I have no sympathy...when they riot/loot...use full force...they get an inch, they steal a mile or whatever their grubby little hands touch

Stay strong, we can't breathe with you!

They have the right to put the bread they earn from their hands into their mouths.

it's so disheartening when a person decide to make another man's life so cheap and useless,to make it worse is when those in charge look on as if it's none of their concern,doing what they ought to do after being forced to do,it hurts .R.I.P FLOYD

So what? This is peaceful protests,evil ccp! wait, this is not hongkong Who tells me this is hongkong or not?

It was already Said: 'If you want to change América, go and registre to vote'

paulmc23

They are fighting for their rights and future. They are not riots, they are adorable as HK protesters. There is no double standard in Taiwan. Taiwan stands with Minneapolis.

Society needs to know BlackLivesMatter

That’s not protests, that’s rioting and terrorism

ramzyk 😡 😥😥😥this is so sad. All cases documented.

Another election year, another BLM fake outrage.

I continue to run 🏃 for President because I’m the best choice, hands down.

Death by suffocation! Humans suffocating each other in a divided unjust dog eat dog capitalistic society? Not lack of oxygen & air cause!. Actually virus cleaned out the air in most big cities incl Minneapolis! It is lack of love which Jesus taught us as the only way for life!

What type of protests. They are burning destroying property. Lootin stores

The murderer must be severely punished

All the stuff going on tells me that the DEEP STATE is in danger of being wrangled up and exposed. To protect themselves, they've knocked over the chess board.

brigittah11 Racism

Are they trying to make it hard for other people to breathe, by igniting cars?

hope this will be the tipping point

We look with regret at the traumatic events that are devastating the heart of humanity in the United States .. Where, a week ago, the regular forces launched a systematic crackdown against peaceful protesters, and the government proved to be a hateful racist chicagoprotest

I want to call this as “American spring” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pillaging shops, seting everything on fire - this is protesting

Is it To Protect and to Serve or To Search and to Destroy ?

The Violence should

It’s rioting like this that turns 80% of the country against you . Try changing things when the majority of people are against you, never happen ! These animals could care less about George Floyd

I want to see an announcement by SpeakerPelosi that the House will hold Congressional hearings on the infiltration of American law-enforcement by white supremacist groups. I want to see SenSchumer support it. And I want to see JoeBiden say Amen.

World is full of rich people but we never here rich have city in country that look confusing and akon need tell world true about it because slavery system exhaust us to violence and insecurities

KREMATORIO Kävin eilen krematoriossa Vantaalla, Honkanummen, jossa kuolleet ihmiset, vainajat, tuhkaksi muutetaan. Ihmiset, jotka ovat näin toivoneet saavansa tällaisen lopun...alun. Minä testasin paikan, jonne olen itse tahtonut vainajana pääseväni. Tulenlieskoja en nähnyt.

We don't know if akon sale usa black to corona so he enter new slave ? That why have city for him ready demonstration us something wrong on akon actions

No artist buy city in country I don't care how rich you are ( akon action need investigation ) from who creat us darkness system ? It him we ask ? USA matter no body happy in usa systems rich or poor so we need find the source and attack the source

Where is trump? DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS.

Tell black community to ask akon why he's buy city in county ? Trump rich than akon but Trump don't buy city no where Because that not right ( akon make Senegalese division by he's city ( even in Senegal they want he's head off he's very dangerous

América needs to be burned down for good and only the smart survive 😥😢

It’s clear. The last Democrats push against Trump by using Floyd death to structure a protest chain looking to rush political purposes before elections

Don't forget we are not only ones in usa their is others culture so we respect the constitution limit ,) it slavery base we need investigation ( akon declare to have city in Senegal that Ready prove enough for us to know he plan slavery systems

Be careful, the plainclothes police wear white cuffs to hide from the demonstrators, waiting for destruction

Stop using the word protests, its not protests anymore, and hasnt been for a long time. Its outright rioting & terrorism attacks now. I hope they are satisfied with their results, because theres no way they avoid a domestic terrorism label at this point.

That’s not protests.

Qpigpig These are lovely Americans, expressing a desire for human rights and freedom and taking a walk in the streets

Let CHINESE VIRUS destroy these fools.

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.

Paid agitators spread chaos and sought to destroy infrastructure across the US...socialist revolution is what we are seeing. Try telling the truth.

Rioters.

Factbox: 'I can't breathe' RIOTS spread across America after Minneapolis killing Fixed that for you.

impressive art getting metal to burn! 🤔😝🤪

A_S_Mailafiya When the pandemic virus spread the US he said you should ask China. Now the protesters are increasing, are we still going to ask China ?

And most could probably care less about the reason for it, they’ve just been kept cooped up to long. Almost seems like the perfect storm...

Tick-Tock !

Their rage is justified. The system needs to be torn to the ground. Utterly corrupt, fetid and rotten.

100k dead due to trump. No outrage...Newsome canceling green initiatives. No outrage. Stop being selfish.....

The situation was actually similar with HK protest in the year of 2019. Only difference was the evil police oppressed the black in the U.S. while it was to the contrary in HK.

Riots, not protests. Stop being stupid.

Is this really USA?

This must be unprecedented. I hope that the protest claims no more lives. I pray 🙏

This is NOT a protest, it’s RIOT.

Can we get a Twitter fact check on this? I don't believe 'protests' include setting cars on fire...that would be called rioting...I hear Twitter is big on fact checking these days...

freedom!!

Well organized coupe! soros deepstate AntifaTerrorists time for martial law and justice for America

Wonder if they can breath with those smoke
