It was such a peaceful, beautiful moment! BlackLivesMatternyc

Protest that does not work may be in America

And just like that the excuse that we can vote in a polling place because of COVID-19 is proven to be utter BS.

Is Covid-19 over?

andrewcuomo please get these people to nursing homes for quarantine ASAP

Quarantine is over

Misleading photo !! I am down here at Times Square... 8:15pm- there are 50 -75 folks down here protesting in calm and cool manner. Nothing to report other than increase of rabble rousers...

the mayor does not allow riots in his city, This has nothing to do with the death, Autopsy came out and the man was not killed, Media inciting hate in the cities that are burning up. Media is being looked at for helping antifa and black lies matter

Hopefully it doesn't end up like yesterday's march in Times Square when an overly aggressive response from police created chaos.

Are they social distancing?

That's the most people I've seen in Times Square in months! I hope they are wearing face masks and stay peaceful

Like we care what this Canadian eh says

riotupdatez International community needs to stand up and BOYCOTT, DIVEST, AND SANCTION the United States of Amerikkka

God blessing all sir justin and so how is the covid 19 over there now get better

President black face?

This dude is a part of it too so this is total bs!

The prime minister wore black face three different times in two different decades think about that

sheeshkabob We are too!

He is probably funding them!

Amazing the resemblance pajama boys PM Trudeau and Mayor Frey have.

riotupdatez And this guy banned assault rifles. You have assault rifles for times when angry mobs come to burn down your store or house

We dont need to hesr from you blackface

This speach is amazing, he is able to admit that even his own country has it's problems with rascism and discrimination. In which many countries can't admit

Wow, an actual leader with a calming message. Trudeau really made Trump look like a weak jackass. Gosh, if I were young and healthy, I'd be applying for Canadian citizenship right now.

You need to apologize for Nickelback before I take you seriously.

And unarmed!

Don,t let Trump to do this anymore! 🙏🏻

Blackface

Nice, but we're all watching

Please be silent

This guy? He needs to take a look in the mirror.

How is it possible that a man who dressed up in black face, ...once....twice and three times a charm gets to talk to anyone about racism or unconscious bias. He's reading from a script. Why can't people see what he is? A racist, with a complete lack of ethics. A phoney.

jodyvance Yes we are!!

We need leadership.

And instead of trying to unify the country by making statements of togetherness realDonaldTrump decided to shy away from making a statement... He is not our president... he chose to ignore this critical time and he should officially resign because he has not credibility.

How about wiener

betcha wishing for some of that social distancing now, eh ? 🤡

Not protesters rioters looters and THIEVES.

How many have been KILLED over Georges death are you caring about that too.

Throw your masks in the air....Covid is OVER!!!

Good job ABC doing your part divide and conquer

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can u believe this, I know the system would protect those racism cops, That think they are above the law. By the looks of things they ARE.

What happened to Covid

MarieKimbery

Going to look like NYE soon

Protesters, this is what welfare has done to us! It's stealing and rioting....get it straight. Future Democrats..

ANTIFA - George Soros - China

That disgusting monument to capitalism seems like a pretty cool place to do a riot 🤔🤔

What do the protestors want at this point? I don’t get it. The guy was arrested and charged.

Yes - funny they dont care about Covid anymore. Riots are not acceptable and they lost voice because of them.

So no more social distancing?

We are still in the middle of pandemic 🤒Peacefulprotest

White people show up at state capitals with guns to force states to open up and are tolerated. Black people show up with signs and their voices and are shot. TrumpRiots2020

No more social distancing.

It's no longer about GeorgeFloyd This is just an excuse for anarchy now. The media has been hyping for this for years. Hope you are proud of your work

COVID is irrelevant!!!! Just days ago NYC was scared to death of a “DEADLY” virus...today not a care....🤔🙃🤯 Was it even real....🤷‍♀️

Maybe, just maybe, something will change after this......

The American public has woken up. May she never slumber again!

Is this live I'm so scared Sat night will repeat 😱😭😱😭😱

Support peace parade, oppose violent events. Is there Russia, China and terrorist organizations to participate in the US violence? The US enemies will use US democracy to spread false information, and the money bribery criminal gang attacks the United States, they often do this.

That actually looks like the usual crowd in Times Square.

For the majority of Americans this little man of a President we have at the White House is an irresponsible instigator with total disregard about consequences and when things then get out of hand, he is simply incapable of taking responsibility. Put country first, vote him out.

Organised chaos

Once again Trump has failed Americans by addressing the death and the protests to calm things down

NATO must interfere to protect protestor

And your winner is . . .
