"It's just a lot that we have to explain to our kids and, as a parent, I definitely need him to understand what's going on," she said."This is not something that we can sit here and close the door on." "The clapping was for us fighting COVID," she said."Then all of the sudden, this happened. So why not kneel? You know, why not sit there and show that we are in unison with them? Why not show that we’re united?"
PromNig74191126 It kind of feels like multiple timelines are crashing into each other, doesn’t it? Everything is just a big clusterfuck.
Two weeks ago nurses were calling people who gathered in groups terrorists and murders. I guess Covid is officially no longer a concern.
PromNig74191126 Are they taking a knee to get rest before they see them all in the hospital soon suffering from COVID? Oh that's right, its no longer a relevant issue.
Oh thought they were too busy with all the corona cases
PromNig74191126 These same MFers out there a few weeks ago telling us we were going to kill grandma if we went to the beach. Drowning in hypocrisy.
And how come they are not social distancing
God bless them for their solidarity, their medical skills, and their caring.
black on black crime and murder is where you will see black brutality, This is sickening to see this, WE have no respect for any one who takes a knee, Stop the black brutality in the liberal inner cities where crime and murder are at it's highest
No more social distancing I guess? Go figure.
Where is the social distance？ Gov. Control our job schedule Give mobs/rioters/ protesters jobs.
Call for an end to the sale of Michael Jordan branded NIKE sneakers. Those are responsible for more Black youth killed for them, and new patients for hospitals, than all police departments combined.
Why didn’t they do this for white people criminals killed ? of black killing whites ? Or non white gangs raping and murdering white children while police terrified of being called racist cover it up and play it down ? No protest for Christians being killed the world over ?
We will not bow to lawlessness.
Police brutally for everyone all races unless u r a peoplaphile!! Then die
What happened to coronavirus? Will they be going back inside to take care of sick patients? So we have been quarantined, shamed, taken away our rights for the frontline workers to go out in a crowd of thousands. Makes perfect sense
Will everyone also go take a knee on the bloody streets of Chicago too? For MANY YEARS families in Chicago cry for help. 😢 Their tears always IGNORED by the DemocRATS & liberal media! Kids on their front porch murdered and everyone silent! 👇THIS
Take a knee health care works to protest the outrageous healthcare costs. Hospitals are ripping people off.
Wow, dancing and kneeling.... why not go work at the massage parlor?
It is really good that white people are showing solidarity for blacklivesmatter, but I think we should take this a step further by going bald for blm. Here's my girlfriend who has also decided to gobaldforblm baldforblm blacklivesmatter
Is COVID over?
Unbelievable. 2 weeks ago these same people were shaming anyone that wasn’t stayinghome or social distancing. The virus was a hoax. 30 million Americans lost their jobs. These health care scam artists are to blame.

Guess what all you front end workers all life’s matter
Wait - i thought doctors and nurses were urging us to STAY THE FUCK AT HOME
HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT PIC SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ENDING THE BRUTALITY CAUSED BY THE POLICE, GOOD TO SEE!!
Why do the protestors protest the death of a drugged out (Meth and Fentanyl from tox report) ex-con who has a rap sheet containing 5 years in prison for assault, aggravated armed robbery and also convicted of other charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs?
A black healthcare worker was beaten by police on his way home from work because he was out past curfew.
I wonder if any got free stuff looted from the shops from the so called “protestors”?
What about the deadly Covid and all those graphics of a sneezes traveling all over the place infecting anyone one around? That’s all over?
🙏👍
Interview one of the founding members of BlackLivesMatter who is a civil rights atty in Minneapolis and ask her why didn't she do anything in her own city to address police complaints?
🤔🤔🤔 😂😀😂😀😂😀!
Do the nurses and health care workers are Catholic ? do they knee every Sunday at the S. Mary Cathedral to pray for the homeless people. ?
Idiots.
That was a wonderful thing. I really believe most Americans are good people.
Yawn!
Will they also take a knee when they are treating those same people from the COVID?
If the police don’t do the killing COVID will. What are we going to protest against COVID as well? Stupid idiots; I would have thought they would know better!
Real heroes
Well they should have been fired from there jobs
Why don't healthcare providers save lives? Take the temperature of the rioters and help them wear masks and keep 6 feet apart. Are the nurses trying to kill the rioters? nytimes WashPost CDCgov US_FDA
Where’re these the same people freaking out about protestors a couple of weeks ago? No social distancing? No credibility!
What college did they learn that move at?
Aren't they supposed to be 6 ft apart.
Do you actually believe for one moment, these monkeys have gained more acceptance this week? Look how many guns are being sold! This isn't because whites like you.
All lives matter is why Black Lives Matter!! Thank you health workers
mrsoydan00
Well we’re back to taking knees again 😂 lmao
I do thank the protesters for their service.
Wow no social distancing? Fake virus. Hoax
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I guess the healthcare professionals aren’t worried about COVID-19 LOL
