4:14 a.m.: 2 police officers shot in Las Vegas in separate incidents

The condition of the two officers is currently unknown. Police have said the scene is active and have asked the public to avoid the areas. He confirmed that all 4 officers have non life threatening injuries. Two were shot in the leg, one was shot in the foot and the other was shot in the arm. That is when, he said, several officers, who were standing on the line, all of a sudden felt pain and realized that they had been fired upon with four of them being hit, according to Hayden.

The comment was met with immediate backlash and Black Lives Matter LA called for Moore to be fired in a tweet.Several hours later, Police Chief Moore, amid much criticism, issued an apology on Twitter saying that he misspoke during the press conference.New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted late Monday night that any unrest has calmed down at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the site of clashes between protesters and police over the last few days.

Protesters take a knee and observe minutes of silence at the State Capitol, amid nationwide unrest following the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, in Denver, Colorado, U.S. June 1, 2020.

A month later they bashed his head in, biggest lulz.

Fast-forward to July 15th, 'Four NYPD officers, including Chief of Department Terence Monahan, were injured today during dueling marches in front of City Hall' His beloved 'protestors' just tried to kill him and others. The mob will never be appeased.

That reminds me: Wasn't there a hiker that went to Alaska to 'live/commune with the bears' or something I can't remember how that story ended...

The bend over kneeling sucker just got rewarded by the same people he was caving too, haha fool.. What do you think now..

This did not age very well

Ben Dover so I can kick you.

Copaganda. This is garbage and dangerous. ACAB

This is a true leader! Thank you Chief! This acted of solidarity will help bridge the gap. Love the cops! And my community! 🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏 Please people lets not distory what we have accomplished together. The good cops are trying their best for peace! Let’s trust! 🇺🇸

All for a photo. Has the cop who ran over the crowd been arrested yet?

I love it yes stand as one

Good eggs and bad eggs, from both side of the fences.

The death of GeorgeFloyd is tragic, absurd & revolting. So would have been that of any John Doe, independent of colour, race or religion. Its deliberate & violent exploitation to advance political & racist agendas is even more stupid & revolting! AllLivesMatter Decency plse!

Get up and go find and remove the racists from your organization. Then come back to show respect.

Yeah but did he turn right around and pepper spray them while you watched with your cameras off?

NachoRgz Abrazos, No balazos ❤️

TheView Why am I tearing up

The man just was on CBS saying that he doesn’t believe racism is a problem in the NYPD so yeah. Fuck him.

Придурки есть в любой стране!

I am hated by my peers because of the clothes I wear. I am shunned by my bosses and politicians for what I represent. I am slandered by the media. I am despised by the majority nationwide.The only salvation I have is my brothers & sisters, I am a minority. I AM A POLICE OFFICER.

Atleast we have leadership on the ground. Thank you to the Chiefs of Police and officers around the country who have chose to stand for right. Those that walk with, take a knee alone with the real protesters. Too bad the Oval Office is lacking leadership.

Omg yes this is wonderful but no one is wearing masks and social distancing...the virus is goig to explode. 😥

Excellent social distancing. 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️COVID19

This is what we need to see. NYCMayor - this is behavior you can be proud of, unlike the police throwing white supremacist signals or plowing cars into crowds. Reward this!

Blacks need justice,need the same human right as Whites,not somebody taking a knee.

Shocking A reminder: Trump &ALL White pple of this world. George Floyd is just like Tryvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, & many others -Pls Stop abusing dark-skinned people. Stop ths racism & discrimination now!! HumanityJustice BlackLiveMatter

Another’s stuffed shirt photo op.

I honor NYC.

ABC constantly posting copaganda. Go support some real independent journalism like Unicorn Riot

不畏强权,不惧邪恶,缺能屈膝人民,这才是警察的正确打开方式。

当大家发现彼此实际上是一样想法后,这出戏还要怎么演下去? 实际上在美国'反种族主义'本来就是“政治正确”。游行缺少可操作的共同目标,宣泄的更可能是疫情下的压抑情绪。当这压抑突然发现失去了既定目标后,也有可能流向其他方向。

George Floyd Had Sex. Never forget. GeorgeFloyd

Love it...but no mask!

Images like these are more powerful than those of destruction

Don't blame: Not all Police are bad. Even police are humans like everybody else with feelings and emotions. There are just a few bad apples who abuse power thus destroying the reputation of LawEnforcement agencies. PoliceBrutality GeorgeFloydProtests JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

So much corona

Remember when the President said he supported law enforcement, this was after I knew he knew... WIC 👇🧐🕵️

Hail Trump!!

Perps are probably BLM goons.

ok and?

Thoughts and prayers.

Talk about how many peaceful protestors were shot instead. The number would be way higher.

Good Bye Trump

This has moved beyond protests and jim Floyd

What were the cops doing though? Probably shooting first.

Look at the person who loves black people so much? But not one person of color in his gang. Trump is a goon. A scumbag.

Doesn’t make up for George’s murder

First cops are smashing windows, now they're shooting each other. What a clusterfuck

No longer about George Floyd.

Violence towards police!? Damn shut it down ABC is clearly hacked

Tell Trump to bring his Bible

When you brutalize people and violent their civil rights with impunity they will defend themselves. Especially when the president declares war against Americans. 'Good cops' need to turn in their badges and stand with protesters in the streets.

Dominate

This is what Dems want

Anyone know why these cops are unloading bricks from the back of a truck? Maby 5G got to the ones protesting, they became mad and zombie like Read the banned 5G article here: Share and follow

GUESS what abc as protests continue?!?!!? How about protests and riots! You’re part of the problem! Shame on you!!!

George Floyd is best♥️

George Clooney Calls Racism a Pandemic in Essay About George FloydIn a powerful, new essay, George Clooney is showing his support for the black community and addresses anti-black racism in America: 'This is our pandemic. It infects all of us, and in 400 years we've yet to find a vaccine.' I thought he died. Huh There is no vaccine. Racism will ALWAYS be there much like rapist and pedophiles. But we MUST make sure racist are not in position of power like cops etc... Becoming a cop should be much harder and firing much easier. But unions stop that from happening. Under Obama, many blacks died, but you were silent. Today, Democrats, like Republicans, come to power through war. You all need power not for the sake of the people. No more America, you are all destroying it leading to civil wlane. You allow Russia and China to destroy America
