Minneapolis city council member: Racism is a virus "that has affected our entire society for far too long"Andrea Jenkins, vice president of the Minneapolis City Council, said that racism is a virus “that has affected our entire society for far too long,” responding to the death of George Floyd.“The people in my community are pained, are traumatized... We must absolutely must see justice for George. That is what community is seeking.
She added that while she does not condone the violence and looting that stemmed from the protests, she also understands “the outrage that people are expressing.” When asked by Baldwin if she had any had a message for white America on how they can act in regard to racism in the country, Jenkins said:B. Give black people opportunities to live full, healthy lives. That means access to employment... that means access to safe and affordable housing.
We are in the midst of a pandemic right now and we need to see resources going to the most vulnerable people… however, nobody is providing those kinds of issues.” Jenkins added that while she isn’t calling any single person a racist, she believes that people who benefit from racism are “the only people that can end it.”Jenkins called on officials to declare racism a public health issue during a news conference today.
The question is 'WILL THIS SHIT EVER STOP'?
Hate crime laws. Terrorism at its finest?.... Crickets
“a beautiful sight to behold” -Nancy Pelosi
Dismantling the Police Force!
are you guys worried about the cornavirus spreading over the riot I mean disturbances? I’d say you guys should be calling for the state of Minnesota to close down after this?
Its trump that is calling in the NG....not the mayor. Always providing false reports...CNN🤦♂️The moron mayor lost control. He sees nothing wrong with this death of Mr. Floyd.
people need justice and their lives
This is terrifying
I didn't see color. I SAW ONE MAN MURDER ANOTHER !!!!!
I think if MLK were alive today, he would have preferred non-violent protests.
Where is the human right in USA?
let's not allow the same thing that happened to Rodney King in 1992 with a bull sh¥ jury in the court ruling in favor of those officers in the Los Angeles Department, we will surely continue to demand justice for George Floyd on MN!! Justice4GeorgeFloyd !!
Spray cow shit on those animals it’s typical of them tbh
1. George Floyd was murdered by cops. 2. The national guard Is being called up to deal with criminals, rioters and terrorists.
Trump government : what a beautiful sight
Wow crazy! Wonder how he died? 🤔
oh, stop doing that, US needs democracy, everyone else should stand with these people in Minneapolis!!! they have right to get freedom!!
Justice be better done. There should be an independent investigation so there nothing is hidden or covered.
The destruction of one human being is the destruction of all humanity. Grant patience to George Floyd's heirs, and let the court do justice
Let’s start by ARRESTING ALL THE PEOPLE LOOTING!! Unreal OPORTUNISTIC PEOPLE !! I was told DON LIMÓN AND CNN are paying for all the Damages!! 😂😂
Let the twin cities burn themselves to the ground. Who cares anymore? Let the purge (that CNN and the rest of the media clearly wants to happen) begin already. Burn it, burn it all down.
Not protests...rioting....big difference
How many videos does it take? They want more videos? Like what they have doesn’t show what happened?
Charge those MFers who killed George Floyd
How come there’s not a person of color/minority on this investigation?
1992 Rodney King L.A. Riots Déjà vu
All I see on news is white protesters taking selfies around burnt down AutoZone! Why is that? If the black community is so mad, why would u allow this? Crazy!SMH
investimagating the scene. TBInvestigation tbi rather win lottery than arrest lorie mallard for raping some kids on LiveAction chameras networks
Justice for George Floyd minneapolisriots icantbreathe
Yeah FBI is on the case ,well Trump's FBI ,surely he'll try to capitalize on this but in a way that his white supremacist and KKK voters don't get upset.He'll probably have his buddy barr deputize Kanye West and bring him into the mix. Lets face it ,will amount to money and votes
Charge. The. Officers. With. Murder.
What time do the riots start? Want to have my popcorn ready.
People like them who wants to have riots. There not bothered about that bloke. All they want is to course trouble, reck buildings, steel what they can and make people homeles. Saying something about USA.
I don’t think there will be calm until they arrest the officers.
Protesters? You mean rioters
Disturbing to see protests to uphold the law FloydWasMURDERED when the protesters themselves defy the law COVID19 SocialDistancing
National Guard before they make their news conference. Ok
Independent Investigation!
Take to the streets and demand action! This shit has been going on for to damn long in America! Time to put fear where fear belongs against the racist white man who thinks his way is the right way! Burn this shit down and let’s build it the right way, EQUALITY FOR ALL🔥🔥✌🏼
'protests and demonstrations' I see what you did there. Protests don't involve attacking people and setting fires. I guess that's the 'erupted' part of the headline.
Domestic terrorism laws in full view!
Police Officers' violence cause death should be false flag case for inducing such gathering!?
Yes it's unfortunate about what happened, but is it ok for these so call protesters to be violating people's businesses damaging their products, property and stealing things and still call it protesting. I don't think so. Everyone needs to be respectful.
Protests. That's cute. It's every man for himself styled riots.
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.
Let it begin.
