With the White House in the background, a line of police forms behind a fence in Lafayette Park as demonstrators gather to protest the death of George Floyd, Tuesday, June 2, 2020, in Washington. Floyd died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers.

“Last night pushed me way over the edge,” said Jessica DeMaio, 40, of Washington, who attended a Floyd protest Tuesday for the first time. “Being here is better than being at home feeling helpless.” “NYC, CALL UP THE NATIONAL GUARD,” he tweeted. “The lowlifes and losers are ripping you apart. Act fast!”

Tuesday marked the eighth straight night of the protests, which began after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck while the handcuffed black man called out that he couldn’t breathe. The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been fired and charged with murder.

These four should be happy, the prisons were full, but not full enough to accommodate their needs. Now, thousands of people have been arrested and await trial because of these four inmates and their complete disregard towards the American Bill of Rights. Make them read in jail.

JoeNBC Captain David Dorn was murdered by looters early Tuesday morning He was a retired, 77 year-old black police officer guarding a building in St. Louis How many times did CNN mention his murder last night by these 'protestors?' Not once. Did his life not matter too,

JoeNBC The main story is about my investigation of a childhood cancer epidemic. But in the prologue I tell my father’s story of spending the day with RFK

JoeNBC You fail to report on the Black People killed by rioters DavidDorn Black businesses burned and looted. Black lives ruined by violence. Apparently Black Lives Don't Matter--you don't report on this! What does it take? Maybe Media care more about puppies

JoeNBC I guess hitting police officers in the head with bricks, and throwing bottles. are peaceful acts in Joeys world. Peaceful....The most hideous crime was last night was former Police Captian David Dorns murder by rioters.

'Largely peaceful'? 🤣🤣 The Democrat party's VIOLENCE is SYSTEMIC. The Democrat party's violent TERRORISM is SYSTEMIC. The Democrat party's violent rioting is SYSTEMIC. The Democrat party's violent ARSON is SYSTEMIC. The Democrat party's violent LOOTING is SYSTEMIC.

JoeNBC White trouble making professional infiltrators realized their jig was up. People are hip to their games. When most left, then, the world got to see the small amount of wayward street kids.

They fulfilled their contract and finished their marching orders. Organized by antifa/Soros, facilitated by democrats like pelosi. Dobt believe me? See which democrats met again with him the week before his riots

JoeNBC Thank God for President Trump, the law & order President calling in the National Guard & the military in DC. Riots. Looting. Anarchists must be arrested & jailed.

ElectBeaven Democrats protesting Democrats, gotta love it!

Do the folks have jobs

Thanks National Guard

JoeNBC Please Joe get Hillary Clinton on as guest speaker,drive Trump crazy.Also you need Stacey Abrams on she is a African American leader who can help calm these protests down.

Thanks to realDonaldTrump coming out and saying what he did!!

JoeNBC

JoeNBC Not a damn word from You , Joe about the African American retired police officer gunned down Pathetic

Когда будут хорошие новости?

Convulsions of violence. Good wording.

Aww that’s cute that you think this but sweetie this isn’t the truth

DarthJerod

Looked like the cops were still out of control though

JoeNBC Stern imus

JoeNBC “Peaceful protests” are known by the fruits they produce. Luke 6:43-45 “For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit.

As yourself why it calmed down

JoeNBC This is Officer Max Brewer. He’s fighting for his life after being run over by an ATV last night during the Atlanta Protests. His life matters

Nice of the media to finally admit that, for days, it was conflating violent anarchists with peaceful protests. Albeit unintentionally through this headline. Nobody has an issue with peaceful protests.

JoeNBC I love “largely”.

LttleGel Wait till the weekend. It is inconvenient now, but schedule frees up Friday Night.

JoeNBC I guarantee that Trump would have whined about the MPD not busting heads after the 7 pm curfew had cooler heads not prevailed

how come you don’t hear any news on the 77 year old black retired cop that laid in the street dying killed by protesters! Why because he’s a cop and doesn’t deserve the attention!! I’m sick

Is this the American Spring? Are the globalists/Dems/media setting up another Ukraine/Maidan/Soros/Obama style color revolution? Will we see rioters shot by unknown assailants? Sure looks like that. Helter Skelter race riots/Covid19+Rules for Radicals/Cloward-Piven on steroids

You are not reporting accurately

Are they going to do the same thing for David Dorn. Or the other people who got hurt and beat up and killed! Why don’t you report on all the deaths and injuries from this you fraud of a news Organization. Who picks and choose to report what fits your liberal agenda.

JoeNBC That does happen when there is enough police and guard to protect the ppl and cities and to deter the rioters & looters

JoeNBC Fact check this

Disarm the police, defund the police, demilitarize the police, hire only good cops,fire cops on the slightest suspicion of criminal conducts, prosecute them vehemently,reparations for 300 years of slavery, reform the criminal justice system that has it knee on black peoples neck.

Based on news, peaceful protest but no social distancing 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ reactionPaper USPolitics

Not in Philly - bombs goin off

Riots, looting and arson performed quietly and peacefully.- the media

It is so sad to see that a decent man was killed brutally..I am also wondering why black are so mistreated as if we are not human being who deserve to live... This has to change

I thought all the days were largely peaceful. So we are now admitting the other days were not mostly peaceful?

Peaceful? BlackLivesMattter DefundPolice

The angrier and more violent Trump gets the more focused and peaceful Americans get. The country is focused on removing Trump.

Several thousand people congregate in St. Paul, Minnesota for a peaceful protest organized by high school students.

Woah, when did The Onion and AP merge?

....because the police didn’t indiscriminately mace demonstrators

I think you mean 'police response to protests was largely peaceful after days of macing, teargassing, shooting, and beating the living hell out of people who came out to protest police brutality.'

Cops caused all this destruction of life, property and freedom.

Good. Keep heading in that direction.

Wait for the next shift of police to show up.

Yeah...because we are now aware of the rabble-rousing infiltrators and are confronting and neutralizing them.

Largely peaceful? Tell that to the officer KILLED in Atlanta. So by your logic police forces are largely peaceful so no need to protest? EnemyOfThePeople

Peaceful? Sell that to the families of the men killed last night 🤦‍♂️

AmandaSeitz This is propaganda. NYC was the worst its been yet.

So the cops have finally calmed down

Wow its like the protestors arent doing the looting? Who knew! Oh wait, everyone did.

yurikageyama You should look into this more. Retweeting this article makes me think that you do not understand the situation.

Lol. Nice propaganda for the state AP and Trump

Say his Name- David Dorn!

Totally not true!!! Get it right

When people are up all night watching news coverage of the riots and then read an article like this, it becomes obvious AP is more worried about promoting a narrative rather reporting on the news

AP Why have you not mentioned the 50 murders that were carried out in Chicago over this last Labor Day Weekend? The murder of George Floyd was disgusting, and the law must take its course., but 50 Murders of Black People in Chicago is horrific to say the least, and YOU are silent

Is this the calm before a race war?

All because Trump has shown he will not tolerate lawless behaviour.

Yes , train wagons were looted, policemen were shots at, stores were gutted but protest was largely peaceful. This is media for you.

The police trapped people on a bridge in an attempt to arrest them but alright

You spelled National Guard incorrectly.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

White House press secretary pushes back on calls for Trump to address nation amid riots, protestsWhite House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday pushed back on calls for President Trump to address the nation amid the riots and protests that broke out across the country in response to Minneapolis man George Floyd’s death in police custody last week, maintaining that the president is committed to “action.” The only action 45 does is incite violence and devision. He sits on his throne criticising and blaming others for everything going on right now. You are not fit to lead this country. Where are you now? Hiding in the WH bunker? Nothing to say to uplift us.What leadership! Racial justice cannot be achieved until a President appoints and the Senate confirms an African American as Attorney General. She is a lire - big time. I wish I had a job like this - getting paid for lying 😂😂😂😂

As protests sweep nation, research finds social distancing most effective way to slow COVID spreadSocial distancing is the most effective way to slow the spread of the coronavirus— more so than face coverings and eye protection, analysis finds. The liberal governors who would not open have thousands of residents spitting in each other’s faces. Oh the irony The Karen's are going to be suddenly all for social distancing. While America is being fascist, at least shoot a few of them for not wearing face masks. Like people care! We have every right to voice! Do not try to silence us with health guidelines! We don’t need that right now! Zip up your mouth already!
