Jacob, it isn’t personal...this “movement” is anti-Semitic.

Groups gatherings protesters it’s ok ? But lots delay reopening all immediately it’s politics game for Democrats .

Mob rule of fools.

I wonder how many protesters are marching just to get out of the house Stay-At-Home orders so they can congregate with other young people again?

He made bad decisions from the beginning but saying NO to this was the correct decision and when he did walk away he looked people directly in their faces. He's still the Mayor right now.

if you guys want to learn drawing please sunscribe this channel and watch video...

also disgraceful dereliction of duty to protect the public from these savages marching in london by their actions including spreading cofid SadiqKhan . I suspect if was a march against immigration he would have blocked it and used the full force of the law metpoliceuk

Minneapolis mayor booed out of protest after reportedly refusing to demilitarize police

Why the HELL would he DEFUND the POLICE with all this rioting and police attacking going on? ARE THEY CRAZY?😳🤪😡

Well, Mayor, you helped create this mess. I believe it's your move.

White Democrats are using Black Lives Matter to line their pockets with money from campaign contributions and are also hijacking the peaceful protests to push their own political agenda. Shows that they are liars and don’t care about black lives. They only care about themselves!

Turned on him like a pack of wolves, wasn't pretty

BlackLivesMattters

What do you get when a bunch of liberals band together? A shit show that doesn't support destruction, riots, and violence, but at the same time refuses to put out the fire with force. Your face flag of peace and love won't stop animals from destroying your cities
