A New York Police Dept. van was set ablaze in Brooklyn on Friday night as protests, decrying the death of George Floyd, sprung up across the city.

"This city that has had a legacy of black mayors and black police chiefs," Bottoms said."if you care about this city then go home. This won't change anything."

The mayor said Atlanta rapper T.I. and activist Killer Mike, who later took to the same lectern at a news conference to urge peace,"own half the Westside -- so when you burn down this city you’re burning down our community."Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., also delivered remarks at the news conference, noting her father, born in Atlanta, was steadfast about nonviolent protest."The only pathway I know how to do this is through nonviolent means," she said.

Some of those protestors targeted CNN's nearby building, breaking windows and defacing the large CNN sign outside the building. A small group of police officers entered the buildings to ensure protestors did remained on the outside. CNN broadcast scenes from the building's lobby where law enforcement had been positioned. At one point, some small explosions that appeared to be firecrackers thrown by protestors into the building pushed CNN's Nick Valencia to retreat farther into the building.

Of course it was, where/how else is their voice heard?!!! NO WHERE, NO WAY!!!!!

Tough luck. I hope it had a few of the corrupt cops in it.

These protesters symbolizes United Thugs of America

So destroying things makes it better? Everyone needs to calm down and start cleaning up the mess. Everyone is upset about the George Floyd Incident. I don't think he wants you guys to burn the country and fight each other. He would want justice and peace. So help each other.

Protests are a part of democracy. If they were peaceful we would be talking about Mr. Floyd and what happened to him. Now that they're violent we're talking about the violence, rioters, fires, police & pepper balls. Seems like the focus on Mr. Floyd is gone :(

Death to Muthaf*ckin’ Arby’s! They HAD the meats!

Five Demands Not Less 1.Justice For George 2.Establishment of an independent commission of inquiry into US police brutality 3.Retract the characterization of the protests as 'riots' and release all protesters 4.Disband the US police and military 5.Donald Trump stepping down

U mean thugs were RIOTing? U ppl r laughable. Call it what u want... it’s still a RIOT!

Yup! There's your sign! Shit got real

White should not undermine Black's anymore.

This should be a wake up call for stringent laws on racism. The inhumane treatment on blacks should end with the sad killing of George Floyd. Enough is enough

Fighting EVIL with EVIL is unrighteousness.

The point of there being tax payer funded PEACE OFFICERS. Is to upload our laws and protect the citizens of the communities they are suppose to serve. When those law enforcement officers are no longer doing that job and turn on the hand that feeds them its time for them to go.
