So true looting is gonna make stuff worse than it already is

Respect but 1) these family members are under a lot of pressure to do that and 2) sometimes the families of the victims that spark uprising often have a passive religion 3) While GeorgeFloyd RIP sparked this it's not just about him, its about all the BlackLives lost to police.

Bravo ... 👏👏👏👏

The white nationalists (many who are cops) want the destruction so that they have an excuse to crack down even harder. And then they blame Antifa.

The police should stop running over protesters in their vehicles

fun fact: george floyd's brother had no idea how much damage was instigated by undercover police.

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
