AliceAl11151258 By the way , I forgot to mention , but does it just seem odd that Mr Trumpsky called the rocket mission: 'Off course I still love you' considering he was dispatching scientists to go speak with the Russians in space?
The Gov should not be afraid of its people! This is not just one case, thousand of the same things happens all the time.
realDonaldTrump's reelection collapses day by day
You mean Minnesota riots. The only protesting going on. Is the Gov. Protesting the use of the police that we pay to protect us & our neighborhoods
Who's better off now than they were four years ago
The news media should report positively to help society return to normal! Instead of describing the rearview mirror!一
For the love of all that is decent. The last thing we need right now is realDonaldTrump addressing the nation. He will only make this 10 times worse.

“No one cares about social distancing anymore...”
I’m not supporting vandalism but vandalization is not as serious as arson but you don’t burn down buildings. You do not know who is inside these buildings and put people at risk with wreckless actions like this. RaleighDemandsJustice ChicagoProtests BlackLivesMatter
That's called a riot. There isn't one story that ABC News won't twist to fit their narrative. These are leftist riots. It's not about Floyd anymore.
This is a man with ulterior motives who is destroying the United States!
Now quarantine them for 3 weeks.
blue city mayors should be ashamed. riots have to be met with overwhelming force to prevent escalation. that means water cannons, mounted patrols, tazers, batons, rubber bullets, pepper spray and full riot gear.
Get the low life ignorant thugs on camera-- use facial recognition, etc., and charge them with the crimes, fines, and full restitution!
I am so ashamed of my country. We should be better.
Get these thugs off the streets!! Bunch of psychos
Are these demonstrators abc or felons?
This has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd. I’m willing to bet they don’t have a clue about George Floyd.
Pls NYC let’s teach the rest of the country how peaceful demonstrations r suppose to b. Let’s work together to make change happen. Don’t give in to violence & anarchy. The children r watching
George Floyd was a gentle giant. I believe the so called protestors are dishonoring him when they become violent. That is not a legacy George Floyd would leave. Allow his soul to rest in peace. STOP THE VIOLENCE NOW. 💔
Why is the Democratic Party's ruling area so chaotic?
Given the widespread levels of violence, how long before there's another death, and then another and so on. This violence needs to be contained as with any subsequent death, such violence could increase to levels that are uncontrollable.
The authorities need to nip all of this nonsense in the bud! Where are the parents of these hoodlums! They don’t care. Let them pay $50,000 bail for their unruly child. People -get a grip! Why destroy & set fires. Your taxes will have to pay. Do some good! Why get angry? Control!
double standard of America
This is so shameful, you people are no better than those asshole cops! This has to STOP!!’ PLEASE JUST STOP IT! THIS RIGHT HERE WHY WE HAVE RACISM! You CAN do better so prove it! Show the world what America is really about! Stop being hypocrites!! Do better
Stop calling these 'protests'!
I don't understand why things need to be so violent. Why not talk with the Governers of Minnesota and arrange a peaceful resolution that will bring justice for all? BlackLivesMatter Peacenotwar Peacefulprotest
It is time that trump learns from xi, kim, putin on how to control an unruly population
I just heard the most racist commentary on your TV absolutely appalled
At this point it’s no longer being done in the name of George Floyd or any cause. Opportunists taking advantage for zero reason or cause.
It’s about time. They should’ve been called right from the get go.
14 states (and more) need to reform police behavior.
I think it all works out... the covid19 spike is gonna need the national guard any way to keep ppl inside after the GOP realizes ohh dam this shit is still going up
Need to spend some ammo to let people you’re not fooling around. But no. These people have you’re number. 1 800 pussy
This should’ve been on the first night!

AMERICA IS ONE BIG REALITY SHOW
Who would have thought?
These people are nothing but criminals and they deserve all of the things the police can legally do to them.
Fuckin unbelievable 😔
In every major city from coast to coast from North to South
People are protesting police oppression then the officials send the police in to oppress people. They are no different than any dictator in the world. This is what Putin in Russia and Xi Jinping do in there countries. They don't listen to there people instead they attack them.
I think you meant, a black man seen in a video murdered by a white police officer
There was never any peaceful protest. Deadly force will slow this down quickly
fuck 12
'Ben Crump...' Oh boy......
