MURDERED ***

Nancy Pelosi described such protests as a “beautiful sight'.

Yes, yes yes.. I can’t breathe should be a sign to let go, not to kill; what’s so complicated about that!

Another white Amy, Karen, Becky,...whatever..., bites the dust!

Facts they should be, especially the one that had his knee on his neck and the one that stood there and watched

While the GOP wants us fixated on Hong Kong, worse human rights abuses are happening right here in the US.

racists go home and let the law handle it. trying to start a race war right before election

I assume we all had “Black man strangled by cop” on our 2020 Bingo Card. May as well have been the free center piece.

I guarantee that White Americans will not stop the systematic abuse of black Americans. Black Americans better wake up to that fact and get organized. Only they can fix this.

Is it a community thing were your only allowed to kill your own? We all know that George killed in a argument or drive-by doesn't matter.

Hundreds or thousands 😬? There's a big difference 😓😥😢😰. Closed down the precinct today. I wouldn't report to work today if I was a officer 😬.

Now those thugs should face murder charges
