And once the airtime goes away we go back to the way it was. No one wants to seriously sit down and seek ways to be better. Politicians have wasted breath over this for decades. They actually run for office using it, and still nothing

Stop making excuses for looting, violence n damaging property. Oprah, Obama, Beyoncé. push education in your communities. Police brutality is terrible. This police had no compassion. Rich blacks put your money down for your communities, governments cannnot do it alone.

No it is a fabricated problem by fake news . Just like every other divisive problem

The Anger? There is no fuking anger, this is all about opportunitist, thugs taking advantage and looting. 100s of blacks people die in Chicago every year. why no anger?

The police killing, The trigger of the thing.What is real is the people's disgust with the Trump government.his behavior is just a political necessity.Don't care about the common people.Don't care about the WHO.The Obama administration has done a good job.

We now see the need for Senator Al Franken to get drunk in order to discuss the original sin of slavery. I wish Senator Franken had not resigned. The Senate was better with his voice.

Horseshit !

Al most certainly right about this

Another person justifying stealing and destroying property of other, to include black people. Wish someone on the left, besides the Atlanta mayor, would condemn these actions! News media won’t even condemn the riots, though the try to break in.

Cnn have upset them to,there burning down the cnn building

You, damn people, are ruining our Country...whether you know it or not. The MSM has whipped the country into an identity-politics frenzy. Start telling the truth!!

CNN feeds these anarchist left pieces of shit. peaceful protesters are no longer around. George Floyd (RIP) is just an excuse for ANTIFA and BLM to destroy their own neighborhoods.

Omg, is Al Franken hammered?

I've got a good reason to be worried.!!!!!

Aw geeezzz...sober this guy up before you put him on national tv to further your agenda. Have you no shame?

FakeNewsMedia

alfranken come back

America is a sick country, Blame other countries' problems all day long, Are you hopeless?

Without SenGillibrand, he'd quite likely be our Presidential nominee.

- study THIS and have owasow on as a guest.

Legislation..... as in 2016, Legislation..... police murder , misconduct, corruption.... they need their own RICO statute

Wow. He’s as drunk as I am. But I can make sense of things.

Um, Senator Amy had not charged Floyd's killer in an earlier fatal incident. I think there's a Minnesota problem. The only good thing is Amy will not be Biden's running mate.

You BOTS stir up trouble EVERYWHERE! You Trumpers FOLLOW the BOTS! GEEZ! STOP IT! THIS IS COMMON SENSE! alfranken is NOT drunk! This is a about a man that was MURDERED! SAY HIS NAME! GeorgeFloyd!!!!

Is anyone still watching CNN

If I get more than 1 bad review, or a write up, I'd be fired. This goes for most people & jobs. But cops/gov't employees w/ 'checkered' records just go on as if the record itself serves no purpose. We need to be able to rid depts of the BAD ones! Just like they're doing w/ VA's.

It should be made easier to get rid of bad cops, but allowing them to build a 'history' before it happens is not the solution

Oh, lookie here, CNN found another has been talking head to speak the propaganda. Yawn. . . Expected

A dream deferred. These folks have nothing to lose. That is beyond sad. We have to get rid of Trump and the GOP and all oligarchs. Power to the people.

Is he drunk?

No one cares what franken says. He should be in jail for being a rapist.

ya know the protesters here in minneapolis are also doing good. like justice cleaning, cleaning ppls buildings, providing food and water. yall just focus on the negatives BlackLivesMatter

I’m seeing fucking riots. Those are not understandable. DonLemon

Let’s not kid ourselves. This is about way more than George Floyd now. This is a protest against our government, Trump, and everything that has happened in the last few months.

Where's the congressman that Trump calls to back him up when he makes his racial statements Suddenly deaf dumb and blind?

Understandable? The rioters are hurting the community. They're hurting people who work at those businesses and need that paycheck to live; who rely upon those businesses for goods, services, and medicines; and who need the benefits provided from taxes paid by those businesses.

These looters are without doubt the lowest form human life. These “THUGS” are seizing upon the death of a human being to justify destroying, burning, and burglarizing their fellow man. They only care about free TVs. “No Lives Matter” to form of humanity.

African Americans cannot be socialized. JoeBiden.

A drunk Al Franken is more cogent than a normal Donald Trump

You are part of the problem CNN.

Looting and violence are illegal whichever way

This is most certainly NOT “completely understandable.” Geezus, . was trashed while these two dopes, donlemon & alfranken, were talking about it being “COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE!” Good Lord, you can’t even manage to say this arson & these riots are bullshit

Sad that this many people have trauma over the color of their skin.

These are some of the people a few members of Congress want to give $2,000 a month. NOPE!! Not my taxpayer dollars....

It’s been like this for DECADES The fires are just being stoked by a racist in the White House and within the ranks of the police

Obama, Biden, Clinton are fueling these protests. They are the leaders in organizing, planning these protest to create violence, chaos, destruction and looting.This is called tyranny.The Dem. govs., mayors, Atty Gens. in these Dem. states are doing nothing bec. they’re part of it

'Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.' - MLK Peace not violence.

That’s cool how you’re glorifying violence and inciting more, but is it still cool when it reaches your front door, CNN HQ?

If he’s drunk or on some medication I don’t know. But he still makes perfect sense and is more intelligible than our dear leader.

Stealing from & destroying other people’s property is never “understandable”. If you wanna protest, great... don’t destroy shit in the process!

Did Franken just get out of bed? He seems to be struggling for words. It's a no brainer, Franken.T People have waited long enough. The wait is over. Now we take back the power. The rich hate mongers have made us miserable long enough and are killing us.

These guys are touting the wrong narrative. Leftists, Dems, CNN et all, Clinton, Soros, etc. - the whole lot has to be DEPOSED & flat out rejected by the American people on November 3rd. Everyone knows the rioters were highly organized backed & supported.

IDIOT REMARK

Can someone explain what's going on outside right now and why?

Why are crowds protesting CNN?

It’s got to be work to be a lawyer and be as stupid as he is.

You should be more concerned with CNN hq tbqh.

I think 2nd degree is feasible

These are not protest, its nothing but law breakers who need to have the book thrown at them.

CNN - Corona News Network - Everyone is tired of your lies!!!

Obama: Violence in Baltimore is 'counterproductive' 03:25 Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday condemned the 'criminals and thugs who tore up' the city of Baltimore on Monday night, after rioting and looting paralyzed the city and overwhelmed local officials.

He doesn’t understand the law.

Can't wait for justice, have to destroy their city about it.

What do you think of them breaking into the building?

The Black community in MN is calling out white Antifa members for starting the riots and destroying their communities. I keep telling y’all these white liberals are not our friends

Live updates: George Floyd protests spread nationwideProtests following the death of George Floyd, a black man who pleaded that he couldn't breathe while he was held down with a knee by a Minneapois police officer, have spread nationwide. Follow here for the latest updates. Arrest them already. Video proof. 10 minutes of murder and 3 accomplices. How are you going to respond to the fact that the police would not tell them why they were being arrested after several requests from several arrestees? You have essentially participated in a police state arrest of the media. This governor is such a pansy trying to plead with the looters and property destroyers. Jus bring out the billy clubs and fire hoses. That will end these violent riots real quick and make these people think twice before they want to burn down the next community.
