So what?

Oh, that will influence millions of people. Pampered actors and entertainers who are multi millionaires with private security. Give me a fucking break

Where have they been for two weeks?

A few days back it was defund the police and now is it reform or rethink? Which one is it?

Yeah, real smart, listen to the biggest names in music industry and make policies based upon their intelligence. Don't do the crime and you'll do fine!

as long as it does not affect their private security..

Oh my goodness like we really care

Bet the biggest names in music today were ok with “fuck the police” by NWA back in the day

No one gives a fuck about what celebrities who hire police protection have to say from their mansions.

黑鬼不应该跟人类一起生活,白人迟早会被黑人颠覆社会

Policing saves lives

😴

Sure they are until they get in trouble and get a slap on the wrist cause who they are. They're no different from the bad cops.

Wow suddenly its truth because someone famous said it? Who gives a shit

Are these the same ones that sang Imagine to us? So out of touch. defundhollywood

All star idiots. Who cares what these singers think let alone what CNN is “reporting.”

Yeah CNN the music folks now are the experts on police reform. How about liberal media reform, radical Left reform, Democratic Party reform, reform of progressive mayors and governors who killed thousands of seniors, and on and on... Are these not a few of the real problems in US

Tell me about some of the biggest names in economics or community outreach organisation. Otherwise talk less.

Reform new word for defund.

And how many would have there own privately funded security teams...ALL...good luck New York...ive been many times...never again!

Just vote smart. You black people vote 90 percent democrats for decades. Why not try a different side, eventually?

I guess we should all listen to these intellectuals now?

None of which will feel the adverse effects of not having a police department. Bravo! You’re all so inspiring...

They all are protected with private bodyguards. It’s called privilege.

Nice how u changed it from defunding after it wasn’t polling so well . Pathetic

The jonas bros are targeted all the time by cops in NYC. These poor dudes cant even step inside their Lambo without being pulled over.

Adults don’t care what Ariana Grande thinks. She’s a fraud just like CNN

All these “artists” don’t give a rat’s ass about police reform as they hide out in their gated communities with heavily armed security. They are irrelevant to the conversation and do not even deserve a voice.

With the 'protests', everything is already 'opened' The Communist Leaders in America were hoping for a 2 yr Lockdown of the American people !
