Walz said residents"need more than ever to lean on their neighbors, show up for their communities, and add their voice to this urgent conversation on addressing our systemic problems. Thank you for doing those things peacefully – we again ask you to plan to stay inside beginning at 10." Civil rights attorney Ben Crump gestures next to George Floyd's son, Quincy Mason Floyd, as they visit the site where George Floyd was taken into police custody, in Minneapolis, June 3, 2020.

"Governors in 31 states and the District of Columbia have activated 30,000 National Guard members to assist state and local law enforcement in support of civil unrest operations," according to a statement from the National Guard."The situation remains fluid and the numbers may change rapidly as governors assess their needs."

He encouraged people to stay home to the maximum extent possible, practice social distancing consistently and wear face coverings at all times.Chief constables from forces across the United Kingdom, the chair of the National Police Chiefs' Council, the chief executive of the College of Policing and the president of the Police Superintendents' Association have issued a joint statement saying they stand with those"appalled and horrified" at George Floyd's death.

Around when that statement was released, police officials also publicized statistics that showed black people in London were more likely than their white counterparts to be fined or arrested for breaching coronavirus lockdown rules.Brockton, Massachusetts, Mayor Robert Sullivan addressed protests that began peaceful but ended with confrontations between officers and civilians.Peaceful protests dominated the day, but around 8:30 p.m.

Police were called at around 8 p.m. on May 25 by an employee of the Cup Foods convenience store alleging that a customer used a counterfeit bill to pay for cigarettes and that the person appeared drunk, according to the 911 log released by the Minneapolis Police Department.

Why is this news

Preach!

Budde— are you a follower of Jesus? I’ve been praying for God to remove the demons who are controlling you. Not one time have I heard you say you are praying for Trump, a believer would! I feel terrible for your parishioners, you are not leading as Jesus would.

Opps MS Bishop your biases are showing. You are leading your sheep down the wrong path. Shame on you.

And in response, Trump closed road to the Bishop's church, St. John's, blocking her from a planned prayer vigil.

So true ❤

Nobody cares

A lot of people of note speaking out against Trump now; he may have finally overplayed his hand.

Wow thank you for ensuring religion isn’t used for political purposes, Bishop

Did a Bishop really just say 'we need to replace' a sitting POTUS? I certainly hope she means at the election booth. Those kinds of words can incite crazy people to do crazy stuff.

Jajajajajjajajajajjajajajaj

We need Barack Obama.

Obamagate

You had 8 years you made things worse now go away back to your Muslim brotherhood shadow hobby bunker and wait for Barr and Durham to nail your ass on treason!

He wants to make sure you’re ready to rumble! Just one big hate filled community organizer!

Thax for the message

If black people only for store looting and damage to public property they protested,U.S. army have to kill them.

Thanks, President Obama. Your words helps the healing. ObamaTownHall

LOL! For EIGHT YEARS, Obama didn't lift one finger to change laws that would make life bette for Black Americans. Trump did that.

🤔

Kaepernick7 dream was stolen! Kaepernick7 knelt for EVERY black person. He took on worldwide police brutality, political bias & Racism by himself! Let racist NFL ESPNNFL fat cats feel the BLACK hand. Boycott NFL til they apologise to Kaepernick7 we got the power!

HE crushed everyone's dreams and fostered an atmosphere of division and despair. Obama is the worst President in our history.

A real leader is obama!

Obamagate

And yet, he did nothing during the same riots when he was president. 🤔

I hope the 'protesters' realize the limits of the law. The prosecution is limited by what they can prove, not by what they think was going on inside someone's head. The protesters have gotten their share of justice, now let justice get their share.

We are rioting today because we immediately assume racism whoever a police brutality victim is black.

YUP SO NECESSARY AND CERTAINLY DELIVERING THE NATIONWIDE SUPPORT AGAINST RACISM SO DESERVED! WAY TO BRING OUR DIVIDED RACES TOGETHER!

Put on Anguish and Action town hall live please

there is still hope

Protesters, you should be directing your anger towards the Democrat Plantation politicians who for decades have lied to you and promised you the world yet delivered squat on those promises.

Wake up and remember this...

Ever wonder why some cops are such dicks? The Hidden World of Police on Steroids

What a brave statement 9 days late

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

and there's the answer to 'why all the protesting'. these magnificent young people doing what had to be done. taking all the hits, no flinching. the only Americans with the backbone to stand up to the greasy orange cabal threatening to nazify our country.

Stop to spread Covid_19

ProgressiveEur 🤗🤗🤗🤗

I thought California, New York, and Illinois were run by the most outlandish kooks in the country. I stand corrected. THIS guy is the AG? A terrorist supporter? The Minneapolis mayor is a child. Franken, Ventura, Wellstone, Humphrey, Omar.. Good grief!

assarish Why is this still happening?

Look at the understanding achieved..

Only Trump, Pompeo and White House officials shout freedom, democracy and human rights while mobilizing the National Guard to crack down!

WHERE IS THE PROTESTING FOR THEIR LIFE?!?!?!?! TheirLivesMatter

My main thought is - what did you do about it?

Are they in jail

Just going to leave this here...

Charges on the 4 criminals about correct now. Charges are not convictions. Only if they stick

❤👏👏👏❤

PaulWuster Propaganda. These officers will be beating protesters and firing tear gas and rubber bullets in a matter of hours. Please stop publishing propaganda. Police are violently attacking US citizens around the country with *no* provocation. Be journalists, not stenographers

GMA It is over, despite a few bad apples, but the Democrats will not let it go and not recognize the real problem!

takeobamalive

When the police realize they are being used as cannon fodder by the rich & powerful to uphold an unjust system that exploits them too & that they have far more in conmen w/ the protesters...that’s when the Halls of Power will quiver with fear.

4xInsight How do you know is in solidarity? Could be a form of protest aganist?

takeobamalive

Absolutely. But you got the charges wrong. The cop probably didn't mean to kill Mr. Floyd. It was excessive force, but the intent would be difficult to prove. Should he go to prison? Absolutely, but proving murder here is going to be difficult.

Guy supports domestic terrorists and beat his wife. Sums up the 2020 democrat party

They are practicing for the next Floyd.

Narrator: 2016 was just an excuse for people to do what they want

So that happened 4 years ago...what a bunch of assholes

This is a mistake.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ if we chose love we can always find Peace ✊👏👏👏

This is not about Floyd

I'm not against protesters, I'm against rioters, I'm not against the police, I'm against the abuse of power, we don't want violence, we want to be listened. WE WANT JUSTICE! Justice

Abc please cover this mans words to congress and the president the nation needs this rn i beg you

We have a plague, riots, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, starvation, storms producing hail and tornadoes, etc. Either Mother Earth is REALLY pissed with humans & we all need to sincerely apologize for being assholes ... or someone needs to hurry up and win this game of Jumanji🙏

Has France surrendered yet?

OfficialLivePD

Thank You this is much appreciated. United We Are Strong, Blk/Wht No Difference GodBlessUsAll WWG1WGA BlkWhtNoDifference

...then shoot them and the reporters in the face 5 minutes later

What has happened in the US has happened years ago by the Belgian police with the death of Semira Adamu, she was put on a plane on September 22, 1998 to take her from Belgium to Togo. The police just choked her on a pillow! So....

who is George Floyd? has he been ever cast into prison? yes, he has. any one who live in US if he or she commit an offence, he or she has been eliminated by society even white man also. do not take advantage of Floyd death then demolition and rob.

thomaskaine5 You are being heard! I wanted to cry seeing this

Shame to President Trump

perezreports Just curious. Did any of the other officers also work at El Nuevo Rodeo ?

Thugs love thugs

All people around the world are tired of being tired. Tired of the injustice, just plain tired.

Say no to racism

И тут раскопали стюардессу..

LIBERTY, JUSTICE, EQUALITY !

Protect the GOOD COPS at all costs!

We've seen this song and dance when they just went ahead and tear gassed them.

Copaganda

Shut Them All 💥

Watch out y’all! It was a trap here in Seattle. Those same cops gassed protestors hours later. And they arrested a dude playing trumpet in the streets!!! seattleprotest blacklivesmatter

3... 2.. 1.. BATONS OUT

What after Macy’s got looted

They should be an example and lesson to other officers that dare use violence on helpless ppl . I hope they get the most strict sentence possible

Minneapolis is rum by DEMOCRATS who have let this happen for many many years... BIDEN HAS FOLLOWED THE KKK WHEN GOV BYRD WAS THE GRAND WIZARD FOR THE KKK *(Hillary's MENTOR)* .. I don't believe he will change his heart anytime soon.

It’s about time!!!

Ok good. We can stop the riots now! JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Pls sign

Ok Good

You fail to report on the Black People killed by rioters, Black businesses burned and looted. Black lives ruined by violence. Apparently Black Lives Don't Matter--you don't report on this! What does it take? Maybe Media care more about puppies

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
