No to racism

Lazy looters don’t work and destroy and steal with the death of Mr Floyd as an excuse. Criminal thug pukes will hopefully be on cameras and will be caught

NJdoc Police needed to burn all evidence of all crimes in that station that’s why they let it burn in the hands of the “PUBLIC” KKK arsonists

protest is incorrect riot and looting is correct

Police officers need to understand the true nature of preserving the peace means preserving lives. Police officers need to abide by a strict rules of engagement that ensures all people are treated with human dignity and have the right to live to see a proper judicial trial.

do you people know the exact same lootings and riots have been happening in Hong Kong? you condemned HK police for stopping those violent protestors all the time. now this is happening in your country. FUCKING SARCASM

GREAT!

We stand with FREEDOM Fighters. such a beautiful sight to behold. -- Nancy Pelosi

Why is this allowed to continue? Someone needs to be held accountable for letting lawlessness like this to run rampant. It's crazy. If we can't keep order in our cities and protect lives & property, we're failing our citizens & inviting anarchy. Time to stop the madness now.

I’m glad National Guard got those immature pricks off the street!! All of them committed a crime so dumb they don’t know justice and don’t know that’s Idiotic George committed a crime!! The Bible said that wages of sins is death he had it coming and he committed a crime first off

People should fight to dismiss police force. They are hurting the innocent people

wow, this is the true color of USA 👏

Technological disruptions led always to social disruptions. oligarchy rule based finally on a lot of digital paper work. Money on balance sheets & biased IPlaw & the assumption that enough useful idiots want die for pitrollers. Metastable systems can't weather pandemics.

190 years ago, the law on Indian genocide came into force in the United States. Washington has legalized the forcible seizure of native American lands.The Indians were forcibly and fraudulently deprived of their ancestral territories and poisoned with the plague.

Let them eat cake....that ought to help.

Stop calling riots protests! This is criminal violence

Minn use to be a very mellow place. What happened ?

Soros ...whwre are you? Maybe extremely happy

Revolution

RachaelRuble We are deeply saddened and calling for moderation on both sides. (!)

they can send the national guard to get civilians to comply but refuse to put pressure on the elected officials there to arrest the cop that killed George Floyd 🤬

Rioting and looting isn’t going to solve anything or bring this poor man back. People rioting and looting, you look stupid

Beautiful scenery

Why would you want to destroy your own neighborhood?

Looters, rioters and arsonists. NOT PROTESTORS.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

*the murder of George Floyd

How much evidence of criminal behavior will be distorted by the fire of the police station?

I can’t breathe.

The GOVERNOR TOOK TOO LONG!!

Hmmm 🤔

Gov Walz lacks the brain to realize he should be deploying the DA, not National Guard.

I think we should hold their welfare checks for payments towards the damages.

The brutal police deserve it. Stand with George Floyd.

Critical thinking,,,, stop killing black suspects.,. Problem solved..

they can rebuild that police station, and target, and autozone and any other building that gets burned down...but they cannot bring back any of the lives that have been taken

What do you have to loose? This is what, inadequate response to pandemic and rioting in streets....

I'll betcha that supposed counterfeit $20 Floyd was alleged to have possessed, is in that fire if they didn't replace it with planted evidence. If it was counterfeit, a federal crime, why didn't they call the Secret Service? So, they lied? and said it was forgery, a state crime.

'OBAMAGATE !!! ' 'Coronavirus Hoax !!!' Is the Smoke Screen still not functionning? '41 millions unemployed!'. Oh shit, this one is not a smoke screen!

communism is the solution.

Why?... Why the police didn't let him 'little ' free?... Why the other police was only stand up and never reacted to 'help' his colleague?... they're playing being Gods. They're just policeman... bones and flesh as the man they murdered GeorgeFloyd

Antifa like

We have failed as a society, we are now in the rebuilding stage, I just hope everyone stays safe.

Mens rea; Law Latin for 'guilty mind' is the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime; or knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed. It is a necessary element of many crimes. The look on his face; 'knowledge and intent'!

Burning down your own neighborhood... Do they realize burning down businesses will only hurt themselves.. People will lose jobs 🤦🏽‍♂️

This looks coordinated with the Virus Scam

“A riot is the voice of the unheard” Police shoot people dead. It causes panic. What did they expect?

So why is it so hard to arrest these officers

SpeakerPelosi That's a nice view. ppl call on US govt. & cop not to suppress the democracy and freedom with violence.

ARRESTtheOFFICERS or 100 cities will burn.

Freedom belongs to the people, trump government is Nazi

MSNBC now fanning the flames.

In one case you state intention (was set on fire), but in the other case it's just framed as something that happened: the death of Floyd, not the killing of Floyd or the murder of Floyd

So the response to a horrible murder by one cruel and evil cop has caused masses of people to seize the opportunity to smash and rob, looting for personal gain, showing America who they are. Is this really who you want to be? You are demonstrating nothing but disgrace

Very expected Soundstalgic DreamNigeria

If George wasn’t passing fake bills, which is theft, none of this would’ve ever happened. Everyone loves to skip to step two. GeorgeFloyd

I wonder what they think (if they do) that’s going to help.

And in the middle of it all, POTUS tweeted “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

everywhere sad news

These are NOT protestors!

Not according to MSNBC 🤡

i hope these rioters realize theyre only making it harder on themselves. sure the govt workers will have to clean up this mess, but who pays for the rebuilding of a rioted city? hm, maybe its the ppl who pay taxes in that city/county/state. dumb!

Mob mentality

lol protests

Donate to helping bail out protesters here:

GovTimWalz AWOL

maybe ARREST THE COPS because they killed someone.

Just wait until they realize why their taxes are going to go up

AND, a lot of people who used to work in those stores and business are now out of a job too!

He’s a little late.

Instead of passing resolutions on India which was trying to help the minorities from Paxtan, Afghan,n Bangladesh, if these democrats have focused on their own backyard, it might not have happened.

Press charges against the murderers, friend. That’s all they want SayHisName GeorgeFloyd

US bully all over the world, now bully its citizens. What a shame!

Nice view of democracy, expect to see this spreading to whole US

Looters

I guess he forgot to protect all the businesses that were buried to the ground or looted, the Mayor should resign!

Need to shoot a few of these cockroaches

it's a beautiful scenery

Find the videos of the masked white guy dressed in black with the umbrella using a a hammer on Auto Zone to start the looting.

The National Guard? How old are you? YOU KNOW THAT WONT WORK. ARREST THOSE COPS!!!!!!! NOW!!!!

Hong Kong people can help protest

America should let Hong Kong people in America, because Hong Kong people like America 👮‍♀️

By all means - let’s burn 🔥 down a business because it’s the business owners fault 🤦🏻‍♂️

How is burning and rioting any solution going to bring back George Floyd. Hopefully Minnesota will get off its naive track record of backing Shariah Bolsheviks like Ilhan Omar and radical left wingers and vote center candidates after seeing this rioting

These are nothing more than animals pretending to be human. Cage them.

Free, democratic, equal country!

I hope the cops are being charged and held without bail until trial. They would lock anyone else up for less.

If the dumb ass would not have condoned it

That a govenor called in his national guard could infer the situation is far more violent and out of control than the media is reporting. If as some are surmising the presence of the guard could push this to a dangerous flash point.

Stay safe protesters

Send in the Clown

You don't need the national guard you need to arrest the 4 police officers!!!!! IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!!!!!!!

real donaldtrump, ReECALL THIS GOVERNOR.

Shoot looters on site. They will stop looting.

What happened to George Floyd is beyond words and that imbecile that killed him deserves to be punished. But I don't understand how you can 'avenge' somebody's death by destroying businesses and infrastructure. As I recall, MLK never broke into a store or burnt a car.

Plundering stores is not a way of protesting anything. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Maybe send them to carry George's murderers to jail, so folks can feel a little peace.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent in the National Guard as demonstrators were thrashed by police for a third straight day to protest the dismissal of the murders of George Floyd, a black man who 'past away' after a white officer pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck

The police officers are responsible for his death. The media is responsible for the destruction.

If there is no other way, then anger shows the pain.Racism must be eradicated from the top of the country to the bottom.

WHAT AN EVIL AMERICAM GOVERNMENT TRYING TO SQUASH THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO FUGHT FIR FREEDOM!! What is this China?! Oh wait, China never brought in their army for HKG after 9 months. USA did it in 1 day.. some “land of the free”

He needs to arrest the damn killer officer before that psychopath kills somebody else! They're now like the officers who all stood around!

No more rubber bullets either.

I’m just gonna leave this here...

George Floyd Minnesota protest updates: Governor activates National GuardThe police officer seen in a video with his knee on George Floyd's neck was involved in 18 complaints prior to being fired, according to records released by the city. Just out of perspective, because I don’t know, how many complaints does an average police officer receive each year? 18 complaints? 18 opportunities to save George Floyd's life. 18 is a lot of complaints. The person who dealt with these complaints needs to explain why the 19th ended in murder.

Minnesota governor activating National Guard in wake of protests over George Floyd’s deathFour Minneapolis police officers have been fired for their involvement in the death of a black man who was held down with a knee as he protested that he couldn't breathe. Follow here for the latest updates. If arresting the officer involved is not on the table...then unfortunately, vigilante justice is. Lets see if CNNs experts can throw a little fuel on the fire with asinine commentary... this IS after all Trumps fault Uh...no. Bad move especially if your state had weeks of white men and women with automatic weapons storming goverment buildings, spiting on cops and threatening the greater public safety and you did absolutely nothing except sit back and wave to their protesting neighbor Simon.
