We want all 4 killer cops arrested and JUSTICE SYSTEM REFORM!!

Lets say your right , how do we fix it ! Say something… we tried a black President and that only incentivized racism.

No matter how many tvs are stolen

Legit protesting is a right. Violence and looting is a crime.

And how is burning the country to the ground going to bring about positive change? Listening to police scanners for a major city & it’s frightening. How many people will be dead by morning? How many businesses destroyed? So disappointed & disgusted with humanity.😞

And yes ! Same for HK ! So why you Americans hate Trump for fighting against CCP!

Or Just want to loot cnn More grieving...

Then take justice. Get armed, get organized, and take back your country from the neoliberal establishment and oligarchy that has enslaved you.AtlantaProtest

'And to loot the Target and burn down some minority-owned businesses'

the sad thing is that now these riots will silence the message of peaceful protesters trying to make a difference it's a shame that these violent, selfish rioters have ruined both a good cause and the eternal memory of GeorgeFloyd

The protestors are human beings. The rioters are just idiots.

Don’t rob and loot stores. U look dumb.

And you keep burning down your OWN NEIGHBORHOOD!

Why do you keep calling those thugs protesters?

They keep voting in Democrats and they wonder why things never change.

Anyone who really buys into this crap needs therapy.

fake mockingbird race baiting news

How come nobody protests killings/shootings in Chicago? You know, that happen all the time?

All this over a dude who died from preexisting conditions?

Maybe so but the behaviour we have seen sure doesn't help your cause

Nothing will improve until we vote Hitler out of the White House.

Black african-american is a community that stay behind of all immigrants groups. They have opportunities that inmigrants do not have. They choose not to get an education, and populate poor neighborhoods. Inmigrants are done more that they could do for their communities

And free TVs

Hi, I'm Italian. I've seen all the inhuman horror on TV and I'm so sorry. I am speechless and I pray that the States will rise from this bad blow. No to racism ⛔👊🤚🏿 I love you! ❤

The injustice & inequality, it hurts, it burns, its making me question, is this the American Dream? Is this the Land of Free? Is this Bravery? Is this will make America Great? But still I have my dream for my children to live free. God Bless America

Our people?

Do you really think acting like this is the way to get it...or are people questioning their thoughts

I am more Afraid of a DEMOCRAT in the White House than I am of COVID - 19!!

I thought every single human being born on this wonderful and beautiful planet are all the same people?

Call out and report people who loot and create violence so concerned protestors don't get a bad name.

Just who are YOU PEOPLE? Black is just a color. The way you act is savage ignorance that brings us to where we are today. Black and white both bleed red. You are not God's chosen people. Just a speck. Get over yourself.

Trump is a hooligan.

In a DemocRAT sanctuary city, run by a DemocRAT mayor, and protected by a DemocRAT Atty. Gen, none other that Amy F'ing Klobuchar . Report the facts you DNC propogandists.

Donald Trump has proven, without a doubt, that the 'United' States of America is no longer viable as a Union.

OUR people? They are all GOD'S children.

he will be back when is porn move is over

In America, black lives don’t matter as much as white property. This needs to change.

These people deserve their own country. We support justice and we support dividing the USA into cohesive, smaller countries where everyone can be HAPPY. We demand this.
