Minneapolis mayor calls for charges against white officer in death of African American man George Floyd
"These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen," Trump tweeted early Friday morning."Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
The Minnesota National Guard has been activated for the area and said it's helping the fire department safely get to fires to help them battle the blazes. Minneapolis Police spokesperson John Elder said staff was evacuated from the building around 10 p.m. local time and that protesters forcibly entered the building and ignited several fires.
People scramble for cover outside the Colorado State Capitol in Denver on May 28, 2020, after someone fired gunshots in the area during a protest of George Floyd's death. No one was injured.The 911 call made by the store owner who accused Floyd of using fraudulent money was released by authorities Thursday evening.
"It is critical, it is essential, it is imperative that the investigation is done right and done right the first time," she said."And that is what we are going to do."Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman asked for"patience."He said his office has been flooded with calls on the status of the investigation.
Walz said the purpose of the National Guard was"to protect people, to protect people safely demonstrating, and to protect small business owners."
RIOTS NOT PROTESTS. Protests are peaceful. Riots cause damage &/or death. The ONLY message they are sending is not that BLM but that they can be & are just as criminal as the cop that killed George Floyd.
Are these idiot cops and leaders in Minnesota intentionally trying to inflame the issue? First call a pointless press conference to say they aren't making an arrest right as protestors are starting to gather again then arrest the media?
This man is very weak
Kudos to him for calling realDonaldTrump out and for trying to do the right thing which is something tRump knows nothing about!
But are they wearing masks per NYGovCuomo ?
FreeOmar Free Omar right damn now
outrageous
they were in an area the police were trying to clear.
Very Good ! Nice Job Trump !
This isn’t gonna end well.
'protests'
Arrested for poor rating and promoting Fake News..😂
Broken nation... you've fallen so hard. Sad.
- 'But ?... I'm a reporter...!' - 'Hum... no boy, you are black !' TrumpsAmeriKKKa
Unacceptable, keep our press safe!
Suspicious Man Hiding behind gas masks a Breaks Window & Starts Minneapolis Riots And Check this that goes with it
This makes the Democratic leadership happy
Demand that charges are filed against the 4 policemen involved in the murder! How can protesters get arrested and the cops involved not!
That was a mistake.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
CNN had secured their Safe Release!!!!!!!
'When the looting starts the shooting starts.'
This is what happens when a mayor has been shitting on his police force and coddling criminals for several years...LeftistNeglectMatters
realDonaldTrump Should patiently handle this people. Because they are protecting for justice...icantbreathe justiceforegeorgefloyd
Rise, America. Put the fear of We, The People back into government.
potus46
as was CNN reporter Omar Jimenez
Iran, China, Russia & V'zela urge the US to exercise restraint, refrain from violent law enforcement and respect the human rights of ethnic minorities. We are always concerned about the freedom of the American people. Minneapolis Racism USAPolice AmericanHypocrisy USA
A cop in disguise started the looting...wake the fuck up!!!
potus46
Come on, they are just Hong Kong style protestors which U.S. and U.K. should always support. Pelosi also said last year, Protest is a beautiful scene...you are always correct...
potus46
He is a Joo what do you expect.
How many in Minneapolis?
These are brace protesters standing up for their tights against tyranny and corruption of the country. Describe them properly.
The mayor must not be very good at his job, all this cops hate dark people, look what happen with CNN crew. Someone must put order in that state, all cops should be replace.
potus46
Why would they care when they get out of jail just as fast as the get put in jail now 😂😂😂😂😂 Now a $1,000 dollar fine hurts 👌😉
This is on media for promoting race wars
These are NOT 'Protests' these ARE 'RIOTS'! Words have meaning.
Good, arrest all of the rioters and thugs. Selfish and destructive behavior bringing only more despair and hurt to people.
Take the FIGHT for FREEDOM to the FBI and CIA which provide Police with FAKE VIDEOS of resisting arrest. Look up How CIA Operative Fooled President Bush Youtube I support FREEDOM not the TYRANNY of FBI and CIA which work side by side with POLICE killing CITIZENS
Mayor so full of bullshit..!!
'I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.' Abraham Lincoln
Trump is correct. Frey needs to go.
Nero fiddles. This guys a joke
Or letting a city burn
He is weak. They are burning down the city and so far he has done nothing. The police officers should be in jail. Where is he. He seems to be a frightened overwhelmed elected official.
Mayor Frey🤔
DomesticTerrorism in Minneapolis .
Mayor of Minneapolis should have spent more time reviewing and correcting deficiencies that exist in the city than planning with others on how to defeat Trump or exercising and trying to be a pretty boy..!!
Like Joe?
We stand with the American people in their pursuit of freedom and equality and respect their legitimate protest. Against the use of force by the police and the government！
Mayor better get his city under control and stop worrying about the President’s comments
Jacob_Frey: your care package is on the way...
Yeah, looks like it Jacob. You just let civilians overrun a police station and burn it down fool
严正警告美国政府不要欺压少数族裔，给予他们应有的公平，人权与自由，不要使用武力，敦促美国政府通过对话解决分歧回应他们的关切，对美国流氓政权和美国黑警的暴力镇压表示坚决反对和强烈谴责，再一次敦促美国改善人权！我们同受到压迫的美国人民站在一起！必要时出台受压迫美国人民法案予以制裁！
You mean like hiring the cops and ignoring the previous complaints against him? You did that, by the way. This city is 100% run by democrats. YOU are responsible for what this cop did.
George Floyd Protest must not stop from this year and into the future. ( 2020-♾ ).
sir next time pick your officers a lot better..and twitter shave it ...iam a nobody have nothing but with all the money you guys have youll stupid..
Send in the troops
Mayor Frey: 'Retreat, retreat!'.
This liberal dunce sat back and watched the bottom feeders destroy and loot the city he's sworn to protect. He should have demanded the governor to activate the national guard from day one. What a failure of a mayor.
Trump just had to slap you down, his opportunity to make you look bad and himself GREAT...but it makes him look like a goof, weak and without character. TrumpDoesNotCare
lindo
WEAKNESS IS STANDING BY AND WATCHING YOUR WHOLE CITY BURN TO THE GROUND WHILE YOU DO NOTHING. Jacob_Frey
Well if their strength is burning down the place their own Justine Trudeau is what they get
So what is the Mayor doing to solve this?
Mayor Jacob, very weak is when you smoke weed over 2 hrs, 'WEAK' is when you smoke the fire at the police station. ' You ain't white'
Weakness = Frey. His city. His police. His riots. He’s responsible.
Well, he IS weak if he doesn’t fire his chief of police ASAP & find someone who will arrest those killer cops ASAP!! JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Stop saying that protestors set it on fire! Were you there
Meanwhile his city burns 🤣
Get real facts the President mentioned that after the Mayor came out crying and not after this last speech the Mayor made.' He had come out crying at first it wasn't good it was very pathetic showed signs of Weakness!!
I salute mayor. Frey for firing 4 officers immediately
here is the other quote ABC doesn't want you to see... Q: what is your plan mayor? A: long pause...…….as to what?
So....he taking responsibility ? Or just crying about Trump ?
Ok and
looks like we got a new Biden VP candidate
Funny MayorFrey calls POTUS weak but will be asking for federal funds to rebuild his state 🤔 hope POTUS tells him NO
Weakness is letting your city burn when it was your police department who caused the riots in the first place.
The anger of the Statue of Liberty
I thought it is about Japan’s Prime Minister...💦
EVERYONE we have got to stay focused, remember why we are taking it to the streets. Fight the brutality of the rich, the elites, and the military/police!!! No more BS! We the people know it all. The corruption, the capitalism driven mind control, the profiteering. It ends now!
Stay strong. You are a good leader who is trying his best to understand the hurt and rage that we feel. I am a NewYorker and if I could protest peacefully, I would join them. You are trying and that is appreciated
Scere this
You are a democratic country, and you should respect their rights to fight for equality.
Democrats voted in Democrats..This Chaos Is Theirs..POTUS OFFERED..Democrats denied Military assistance..only weakness was allowing your state to continue to burn..Democrat to Democrat..Live your choice..
Help what can I do ? Thanks
This tweet by Jacob Frey oozes weakness
Police are the enemy. They are the enemy of the people. Fck the cops
Sad it has to come to this 😔
Oh. How can you be so sure the cops didn’t set the fire before they scurried out with their tails between their legs?
The people of Hong Kong stand with minneapolis
WorldNews The actions of one bad cop means the entire force is bad as well and will goes the same with one bad black person means all blacks are bad..
We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We need Amendment 28, i.e. Freedom of Breath!
LeslieMarshall Am I only one questioning whether the police planted a bomb before they left the building 🤔
LeslieMarshall This video:
Why do u keep calling them 'protestors'? They are rioters!
SteveTVNews They are not protestors they are rioters
So who are we blaming for the deaths of anyone killed by that potential explosion should it go off? And will riots intensify for them?
Manufacturing outrage has real life consequences.
Let it burn😂
It has exploded as of 15 minutes ago
This is the of police shootings in the US by race. The issue is when a black person is killed by police, we hear it all over MSM news outlets. Meanwhile, UR white person gets killed at the hands of a cop, & nothing. It's no wonder we have a PERCEIVED race issue in this country!
I’ll be honest: this would be funny as shit if that happened. 😂.
Yeah well that’s what happens when you give racists murderers a badge and let them “police” citizens.
The act of one bad cop, caused the destruction and chaos of a whole city. Let that sink in!
2ndAmendment
Would be a real shame if the building exploded
Urgently! Nobody expected that !
What a beautiful sight to behold
Destroying the community that George Floyd's family most likely lives and works in only adds to their grief. It is narcissistic to detract from pleas for justice with anarchy. Mayhem changes the convo from a man who unjustly lost his life to looters and rioters. HijackingTragedy
How does 2 wrongs make a right?🤦♂️
Well. All i can say is i hope everyone still has a home to go back too when this is all over. If not... At least you made a point? Or not. EverydayNihilism
the protesters did not set anything on fire. stay woke. this is all a set up
GovTimWalz WHERE ARE YOU? Speak up! Stand up!
How much do we expect people to take? This poor man dies in the street for the crime of resisting, meanwhile, three white guys hunt down shoot and record the murder of a black jogger and it takes how long to arrest the dudes? If you can't see the distortion then it's willful.
Do these people realize that they will kill more because of craziness theyre doing
In other words, the police likely rigged the building with tear gas and explosives.
I think you mean rioters.
They cut gas lines in the building, it can explode. Please be safe!
Where the hell have the Minneapolis Police been?
The cost of poor police management. Hope police managers can learn. If u can not maintain the discipline, the cost is way more than the salaries paid to the police officers. Reward good cops and discipline bad ones.
How about they arrest the murderer and accomplices who stood by and did nothing, who committed murder, on camera, in broad daylight; and who seems to have previous. Perhaps that might be a better way of quelling 'disquiet' than calling in the National Guard? Just a suggestion!
Protesters ? Those are terrorists.
Don’t warn the protesters. Just let the building explode
“Dangerous protests” = riots
Committing larceny & arson under the name of Floyd. 👏👏👏
YES SUPER COP ARE AFRAID ..!! GOTO HELL ...
If the police left the precinct... who’s gonna be there when things go boom?
Rent-a-Mob was delivered?
So Trumpanzees with deadly weapons can protest and the police does nothing but protect them. But protesting over murder isn't okay? Wtf is wrong with the US?
continue companions the civil war draws near end the hatred of the white man
What a shit fest
Stop calling the terrorists protesters
Somebody say “Ow”!
I'm seeing a hell of a diverse crowd but that's not the narrative at all.
Any proof it was protesters who set building on fire?
Amerikkka...
That building exploding would be true karma.
