I have an idea that might end all of the 'protesting' march to the white house front lawn tear down the gates and storm the building. And when you all are done tell me how far you got and if you are satisfied

Listen...it’s all white people...

You are telling a terrorist mob to stay home after 8pm? Good luck!

Unrest Really

The American United Fruit Company LOOTED the people & resources of South America, & ruthlessly consolidated their monopolies. The Dutch East India Company LOOTED India, China & Africa. The British East India Company LOOTED India, Africa, & China.

LOL,congratulation it same to hongkong

If LOOTING IS POWER, people looting during the riots did what The American United Fruit Company did when it LOOTED the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America, in production of bananas, tobacco, sugar cane etc.

These protests are NOT about justice and NOT about George Floyd. These protests have NOW crossed over to being about violence and stupidity - 100'S of OUT-OF-CONTROL uneducated people breaking into businesses to steal merchandise! IT HAS TO STOP!

Fucking monkeys

We need a change. We need something outside the goverment to police the police.

Most of the Protesters are peaceful. The rioters and looters need to get put behind BARS.

Attn: America. The Chinese are laughing at you 👇 . Riots need to stop now. Other countries are watching a broken USA right now. With Covid & China issues you guys need to sort your shit out pronto. The USA don't look so mighty today.

This is where our leadership lead us and their decision to let cops have free roam with only paid leave as a repercussion. Mayor, senate and law enforcement has no one to blame but themselves

'No justice, no peace': Protesters breach Minneapolis police precinct, set fires in the wake of George Floyd's deathProtests nationwide continued in the wake of the death of George Floyd, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declared a local emergency on Thursday. For those having the luxury of sitting at home being offended watching Minneapolis burn tonight, be thankful. It's less of a burden than the weight of Derek Chauvin's knee on George Floyd's neck. Tomorrow you can have an opinion. Mr Floyd can't. demonstrators become criminals when they break into a police precinct or at least that's how it use to be, not so sure anymore 👏👏👏👏👏
