More than 170 businesses have been damaged in St. Paul, and nearly 160 people were arrested Saturday in Atlanta. The city’s mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, told CBS’ Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation” that it’s peaceful protests that have a history of bringing change to America.
“We need to get back to what the problem is, and that’s the killing of unarmed black people in America,” Bottoms said. “And there is a history lesson that we find right here in Atlanta from the civil rights movement on how you effectuate change. And what I saw happening and what we’ve seen happening over the past few days in America is not the way that things will change in this country.”
“And that’s frightening, because it’s a pandemic and people of color are getting hit harder,” she said. “I am extremely concerned when we are seeing mass gatherings. We know what’s already happening in our community with this virus. We’re gonna see the other side of this in a couple of weeks.” Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the city was “sending a very clear message to people that they have a right to exercise their First Amendment rights but not to destroy our city.”
At least two dozen cities have set curfews this weekend to limit violence, and the National Guard has activated roughly 5,000 troops in 15 states and Washington, D.C., to assist local law enforcement, as of Sunday morning.
and they are right doing it!!!
Time to differentiate 1)Police 2)Protestors 3)Third Party trouble makers, Antifa, Anarchists, gangsters, white supremacists, etc GeorgeFloydProtestors must disassociate with 3 Media must report the distinction VERY IMPORTANT! More lives lost,cause of protestors lost. riots
Those same mayors need to control their officers! Pepper spraying a 7 year old girl, Giving racial signs on camera, Shooting gas pellets at people on their front porches, Slamming a young girl to the ground for yelling, shooting gas, unprovoked at crowds is not a good for them 😡
Protestors urge Mayor's to get control of their police departments and stop the violence committed by them.
Peaceful protestors should stay away from the rioters. Use other peaceful avenues of protesting
A trio of black mayors ? 😂😂😂😂😂nice and passive way to blame African Americans for the destruction of properties. Politico is shit. How many mayors are publicly calling for cops to stop shooting people?
