It’s riots

Where is the Outrage, Grief, Frustration over Biden molesting Tara?

we could really use some truth from NPR about now calm the storm

The actual injustice in America is that WHITES are statistically the overwhelming victims of racial hatred, rape, and murder. Not only is it buried by the media, but the inverse narrative is peddled. There will never be multicultural peace. There is only separation or death.

Aren’t those places ruled by Dems?

We are all outraged but riots won't fix it

They went too far.

'Rioting. Lawlessness. False narratives.' There, I fixed it for you.

Stop. Posting. Faces

Protestpeacefully PoliceBrutality racism are wrong. If you riot, riot against those who deserve it and the majority of cops and departments are not a public enemy TargetLooting ? equal to the crime committed by the officer BlackLivesMatter

The time for peaceful protest is coming to an end. Government is evil to the core--from POTUS to the local corrupt mayor or town council. My prayer is that the outrage, the protest, the mayhem imbed itself in communities nationwide. The fascism needs to end!

GTA7: Little Africa

You mean a measured and equal response to murder, and not biased wording about what non-white people are doing, right npr?

Outrage grief free shit

Turns out the cop and George Floyd worked together at security gig. They running a SCAM ? How much did soros pay for this one?

Rioters

JusticeForGeorgeFloyd is justice for every one of us. WeAreUnited.

We've been hearing for months how serious COVID-19 is, how it disproportionately affects communities of color, and how important it is to social distance. Shouldn't the people who've been making those proclamations be ad nauseam discussing the apparent hotbed these protests are?

I don't get what the big deal is 🤣

I’m on the protesters side all the way. There are way too many stories like these nowadays. The power trips these shitheads are on needs to be stamped down.

people should rage, talk is cheap gets zero results, these people are tired of being treated like shit, we watched a man get murdered by a piece of shit cop. They should be lighting it up. The riots keep the focus on George

“protests”

If we listen and act there is no need for riots

This has nothing to do with grief. It’s opportunism. Whites don’t riot when blacks butcher whites (far more frequent than the reverse)

Somebody’s listening

Unite against Nazi China viruses

Don't worry. It'll be all over tomorrow because they have to go to work... Oh wait

Burning, looting..... why leave those out?

White people: “We demand our right to not stay home or wear a mask during an out-of-control pandemic. We demand haircuts and manicures.” Black people: “I can’t breathe.” It’s on every one of us. All of us.

Reminds me of the LA riots.

Are the going to burn everything to the ground? Thats all these criminal protestors seem to know.

What would they all be doin if George was a Trump supporter ?

Those are not protests. They are riots and you know that. What grief and outrage exist for those that have lost jobs or dwelling due to the RIOTS. Doesn’t make his death any less tragic and wrong but state the facts. Words are powerful.

Violence. Riots. Thuggery.

*Murder You spelled murder wrong.

Prediction: In the summer before the 2024 election, the left will cause riots in some city. They'll never change!

I wonder if we will get to see a trend of Tik Tok videos of people kneeling to the National Anthem. That would be a good trend of a peaceful protest against the injustice we see these days.

Fire destruction innocent people assaulted innocent people's property damaged lives of innocent people destroyed

Those are not protests. Those are riots.

Ah yes looting, burning and destruction just what George wanted.

Crowds protest in Minneapolis after death of George Floyd, but investigation will take timeFour Minneapolis police officers were fired after the death of George Floyd, who was black. Whether his death will be considered criminal is unclear. Wait... are protests allowed again? I thought we all agreed that protests spread COVID19 and 'putting lives at risk'? Have these people signed waivers or something? Or is this okay because it is not conservatives doing the protesting? What investigation , when everyone can see how a wicked act was displayed in a broad day light .. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️. Why not put that white policeman to law. And let justice prevail .. So it's ok to protest now?
