"We don't want anybody to take a knee, a knee doesn't help me heal the wounds. They shot me seven times on Saturday," Sampson says, shaking his head."It does not help my boy who has two broken bones in his skull right now because they aimed a cannon at his head with rubber bullets."Sampson, who stars on the HBO show"Insecure," called the commander's actions a"farce," and said it was"PR to make them look good.
On June 3, Buffalo, New York, police officers were filmed kneeling with protesters outside City Hall. One day later, in a now-viral video, two officers pushed a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest outside City Hall, seriously injuring him and resulting inRoxane Gay, a bestselling author and activist, shared the same apprehension as Sampson about protesters sharing moments with law enforcement.
Minor hopes we don't get caught up in symbolism:"That’s not what we’re here for, the change has to occur from within." Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti meets protesters and clergy from the Los Angeles area participating in a march and peaceful protest in downtown Los Angeles outside of City Hall and LAPD Headquarters, June 2, 2020.
"If they don't live in your jurisdiction, then the connection is different and how they see African Americans is different," Johnson said."It's hard to respect a community if you're not a part of it."
Never going to be happy.
And decides to disrespect the badge, the citizens they are paid to protect, here our NYPD patrol cars have a logo abbreviations and is CPR, (Courteous, Professional, Respect) and if they are not going to live by that slogan then turn in your Badge or change the slogan but 🛑 next
We take police and off dogs
Fake new masters
They love the division!!! Get your head out of the sand and realize most these ppl don’t want love and togetherness they prey on division and violence
Time to bring back segregation. Feral blacks are incapable of living unchecked in a civilized society.
Just proof this isn’t about solutions! It’s a mob rule liberal fascist attempt to overturn a Republic by LAWLESS MOB RULE VIOLENT LAWLESS ACTIONS! It’s an insurrection to destroy our country! It’s a defense for liberals to commit crimes against Americans! It’s insanity!!!
This is Fake news! They rejoice and More importantly God rejoices.
Además no todas las fuerzas son unos malditos racista
Eso no es malo es positivo ya que es una demostración que no están a favor del sistema y que apoyan las demanda de los manifestantes
Who cares?
Of course they don’t. Because it’s not really about marching to actually make progress, it’s just about the fighting they want.
watch before gone
?
'kneeling won't bring them back', I guess burning businesses & dragging innocent people out killing them does? These ppl did nothing wrong but try to protect themselves & their property. Did nothing to them nor broke any law to get their attention.
I’m sure that there are people protesting for 14 days. Can we get traffic moving again please?
do these same black leaders really want progress and change, or is it just a pose to keep marches and riots continuing?
Very interesting comment and so sad to see need for Marches! Blacks according to Black Author Shelby Steel on Levins show Fox News says Black Movement back in 60’s and losing! Only person now to get them on track is Trump! Let’s hope he can get them together and get help NOW!
And the reason why is,they are part of a corrupt system that has been killing us black people for decadesAnd it points to these police and the unions who protect them which has made especially easy for Cops to be corrupt because the unions are corrupt and don’t abide by the law
Have to agree, about 95% at any rate. Strategy with bad optics.
Nor should they be. They should be doing their job. Bowing to the left and radical elements won’t get you liked but it will lose you your job. So stupid. So short sighted. So weak
Oh look, media found a few, 'some', who don't want cops to kneel... Now runs with the 'Fox-like News headline hoping to keep division alive and well just like Trump does..
Then they should not kneel
During the civil rights movent Whites marched along the side of Blacks to show support and they were welcomed.The organizers are so full of rage and hatred toward Police that they can't see the Officers that are willing to kneel are supporting their cause.
If the police don't get down on their knees, their jobs are gone
NoRacism
It's not part of the narrative... 🤦
Why not? Not all police officers are bad or corrupt. Let’s not punish everyone. It’s not fair. Anybody that’s wants to be apart of change, you are invited to the party. Whoever said that is being ridiculous. To make real change we need everyone.
Just stop.
Trump 🧎♀️!
Never know who is doing it for a stunt and who’s not.
Cause it's a joke.... Kneel with you in the morning then shoot you with rubber bullets and tear gas at night
What a shame! What America has come to.Dropped below the bottom
Come on they need to speak up about what happen inside the police. But we all know they need the job too.
Oh shut up. Some what 1% z stop trying to hijack the moment with click bait
That means every police officer and military personnel should do it. Nothing drives you off Facebook like grandma joining in the fun.
The sad reality is whether they kneel or not, you have good and bad officers. For the ones that are there to support the people, let them support. Their actions do make a difference. At the end of the day my life as a visible minority matter too.
Hey SpeakerPelosi , your photo-op was a flop.
Children and their temper tantrums. Never kneel to anyone.
So what is it exactly that they want?
Kneeling is now more like an act than anything else. We need to have something more meaningful than kneeling. Justice for all, equality for all, more social assistance for underprivileged of people of all skin color. AllLivesMattter
Dems hate everyone.
And the politicians aren’t? It’s all PR.
Maybe they should just all quit their job and join the protestors in burning down the whole City.
why not
And why not kiss asphalt here?
😆 DemoKKKrats- Fought to own Slaves,KKK,Jim Crowe Laws,Redlinning laws,Negro Project,innocent minorities n interment camps,Fought Repub on Civil Rights movement,Chased Black dads from homes w/ Welfare laws,incarceration laws, & today uses many of these against Black communities!
Why not? Not all police are bad. And yeah...it may be just a touch of a pr stunt.
You can’t win with these people.
People need to make up there mind.
Because it will put them out of business.
You shouldn’t automatically discount their action. We need police to acknowledge that there needs to be accountability for officers using excessive force. It’s a public action that all police will see, including the ones who abuse the system breaking the code.
Not a very unifying message then. I support this movement but this isn't a reasonable stance. What should they do ?
Its like getting a bouquet of flowers after your husband broke your eye socket in an argument.
That’s why the black organizers are the problem, african americans think that they better than us and they are wrong, the majority of the looters were african american look at the videos and those organizers supports looters and riots!
It Absolutely is a PR STUNT by the police . If they aint have that energy when KAP did it ,dont have that energy now .
What woul you like them do instead
Can we focus on the pandemic again? Definitely gonna get a second wave with all these protests
And normal people don't want to see their police kneeling before a mob.
Back to the teargas
BLM the organization is turning into a terrorist group. Everybody agrees the statement black lives matter is 100% true we all support it.
lolol, here we go, blacks, are the worst for this, get a grip will u, they are trying to make things better, not all are shit, and yet, you still shit on them all. is this how you want to be treated again? do onto others, brothers
Lying mob rule liberal fascist RIOTERS are never happy! Oh and lying fascist ABC! These aren’t protesters! They are violent, lawless, mob rule RIOTING out of control animals!
I think all unity and support is needed right now. They have a job to do too...but showing support...let them.
No they would rather they just stand by & let them loot & burn buildings.
Why? They are trying to show respect & understanding
And they would be right
BLM are not for the black community just ask David Dorn, neither are the puppet celebrities complaing from thier palace.
Doesn't matter if it defuses the situation. You don't know what is in their hearts anymore than some of the protesters. They are us.
Many cops aren't going to want to work with them anymore either.
George was an ex-criminal but initially being described as a good innocent black man, if the public knew his track record before, would there still be so much protesting on the racism?
That's prejudice
these people blaming racist, also they should understand that they are racist too.
Of course it’s a PR stunt. Law enforcement does not care about BLM. Most of the country does not. But if it makes them shut up for a while, oh well.
Hey, if they want to march, they can March.
Yeah,America now run by black protesters.
If they’re kneeling a point has been made. PR stunt, who cares, there has to be some recognition of the problem for them to do it. It’s a first step, build on it, anything positive should be viewed favorably.
iskandrah If they really want to show solidarity, they should resign and expose. Their symbolic gestures are meaningless when the system keeps killing and brutalizing Black lives.
I’ll agree there!
This is a ridiculous analogy! Let’s come together! Don’t be dicks about it! The police are humans too!
'Many' in this type of headline seems problematic. Put a name on it or stfu
It is unfortunate that those who lead BLM or other orgs dpnt want cops to unify with them. There is no other way for long term peace. Black ppl are not going away cops are not going away peace must start with unity and understanding AFTER NO MORE KILLINGS!
Racial equality is not determined by those who are suspect kneeling to our demands. Racial equality is determined by forcing those determined undesirable to kneel and march in separate but equal protests.
The whole protest is a pr stunt to divert the attention on China!
K11Marc POTUS VP SecPompeo MariaBartiromo MorningsMaria afbranco SandraSmithFox Oh, FFS, Black Lives Matter is just another name for Black Panthers, a Party for Self-defense, revolutionary socialist political organization founded by Marxist college students in 1966...
Weak!!!
Like most really want to kneel with a hate group like BLM
iskandrah They're more than welcome to resign and then join the march!
Well THAT kind of thinking is inclusive!!
Yes why are they doing this Hun
Publicity stunt nothing more. They know their jobs are on the line because the people have had enough of their bullshit.
Sometimes we need to trust the sincerity of others...These guys, by their actions and utterances, appear sincere. I'd rather they kneel versus swing the baton, fire a shot or effect a choke hold of any kind
Defunding the police should really help Chicago’s crime problem.
Freedom of expression and of speech! It is not us against them. Is all of us against a few bad apples and specially bad police policies and procedures, as well as unionism and protectionism!!!
It is .
The protests have never been in favor of the police. Not a surprise. 🗽🇺🇸
Maybe they don't help heal wounds, but its at least better than them continuing shooting.
JonathWebst It also looks exactly like open mockery of the way in which George Floyd was murdered; by a man in a police uniform taking a knee.
I think it should be noted that after kneeling with them in a couple of protests those very same cops were throwing tear gas and shooting them with rubber bullets not 2 hours later.
if they do it for the sake of sincerity why not !!! no need to burden yourself with suspicion
Why not?
PR stunt yes, kneel today, kill tomorrow, nonsense
Those protestors need to be more accepting. All police are not bad.
BLACK AMERICAN HISTORY
the BAME will never be happy
This BLM is a joke!!! Can’t keep up your mind to what to focus for...thinking this is an issue over exaggerated black white brown yellow orange we all breath the same air and poop the same way we do.
Boston PD is doing the same thing letting the protestors peacefully march when the march ends before curfew Boston shuts down the trains protestors get trapped and brutalitzed by cops with tear gas rubber bullets batons. They are brutalizing them for protesting against brutality
You can't appease terrorists
And they’re right. It’s copaganda
All lives matter. PoliceBrutality is the problem! It shouldn't be tolerated regardless of the color of the person it targets!
Ft Lauderdale has a major police brutality problem they have an officer out there brutalizing peaceful protestors and he has 79 excessive force complaints, the peaceful protestors are getting brutalized in Broward county horribly.
So what do they want, maybe they want to continue burning cities
They are only after complete and total submission.
Stereotyping all police as bad men makes you look as bad as the cops that would stereotype all black men as bad seeds. You can't end discrimination by discriminating back.
No the officers forced to do that and then that night or the next day the same cops are beating the hell out of them tear gassing them cracking open heads police brutality has to end. The protestors are protesting police brutality and the police are brutalizing them
Thats what got the police in trouble to begin with. kneeling in the wrong place/wrong time.
Don't let it stop you. Do good because it is good.
Especially the caring thoughtful ones protecting their communities.
No one cares
Everything is an issue! WTF do they want?! BlackLivesMatter Total World Dominance? A Day just for Black People? Looting every Tuesday from 10pm-Midnight? Or their problems resolved? The police give and they are Still in the Wrong!
Dysfunction.
NomadCovfefe Idiotic cops to do that.
Typical leftist/BLM attitude, we don't want fixes, nothing is good enough or nothing will make them happy.
Of course not. It is a business and a source of funding. Why would they want things to actually stop?
So they don’t want equality? See how this looks...
The protester’s goal is friction... not peace. They have more fun rioting, looting, and torching property.
Oh ffs, if they do they complain if they don't they complain.
They shouldn’t be!
Petty!
Is it 'many black organizers', 'some protestors' or just the two people mentioned in your article? How to make up a story out of nothing.
I can understand where the organizers are coming from. Until trust is built which doesn't happen overnight, their empathy will be seen as two-faced as for now. Time will tell if it's pretence and for the show or they're for real.
They are ready to play and watch some football. Sports brings everybody together that's how us men get our frustration out. Especially, when we are celibate or in the doghouse... ... ...👀
These Black African jungle bunny niggaz need to form their own police department.
Then what's the point of BLM ?
They don't need such stately action, but they do need to build substantial laws to make their rights to get protected.
They love being thougt of as victims so they do not want every one on their side, without enemies those socialist leaders cease to exist
I disagree with that as these cops mm. shows that they do not share the colleagues who act illegally
They don’t want police so it easier for them to loot shops!!
Lmao these fuckers are never satisfied no matter what the outcome. This isn’t really about a solution or equality.
I don't blame them.
They are trying lets all just 🇺🇸🙏✖
More bshit lyes
Black organizers is 💩
Take a knee and apologise because of your skin colour.
Well. That's confusing because some protesters were encouraging & asking them too.
follow this account for info on cops that are being prosecuted
Many law abiding Americans dont want them kneeling to the mob either
It’s hard to see what exactly the BLM is fighting for. BLM has notariously silenced the dissenting opinions of concerned citizens, and in doing this, lost an incredible amount of support that they otherwise would have had. It’s honestly sad it this point.
missile test
Nice to meet you😁 Then that Plz RT and like !!!!
Dumb charades..
No one wants it. They look like bitches kneeling with those thugs
This guy was larping hard and he fooled half a planet with his fake blood vampire stunt. He even kept his feet crossed, just to sit more comfortably on the ground. He is a crisis actor, a poor one Read the banned 5G article here: Share and follow
Voices from within the system are valuable!
Police shouldn’t have been kneeling in the first place! And now they should definitely stop it. Why convince someone who already have their minds set?
No no, that is wrong, like shooting yourself in the foot.
Bahahahahhhah! Just another way to show their true colors. Lmao - pun intended too. Lmfao. This shit is gold
Police depts are already independent from da’s but when an arrest is made communication has to be made obviously 🙄🤦🏽♂️😐
The entire thing is a huge liberal PR stunt
Black organizers are racist & hateful themselves and they will bring more harm to the black community when their violent & hateful politics will backfire.
It's ALL so patronizing and condescending. BOTH ways! people are people and we each need to find our OWN way in life. Bald, fat, old, white men are in a Penthouse laughing about all of this as we speak. that's what y'all need to consider.
Give this police a chance. We have to work together!!!! trying is better than when they are not
I have friends and relatives in the military, and the police. I can assure you that some people are sincere.
Protesters are not stupid
What a friggin stupid headline.. Who does this help? Did you take a phone poll? Or was this like Pepsi Challenge kinda bit? Media proves realDonaldTrump more correct by the hour!!!
So much racism in these comments...guess we know how to find it.
Police r human 2, some don’t like injustices but can’t fight due to being out numbered or politics involved.
This protest is a sign of population Explosion.
The agitators and instigators of all this shot dont care of you kneel or not. All they want is a reason to defund police so lawlesness can rule.
This Pic Of I believe Duvall County we as a very believable. We Them They, all We Have is US.
Live on ypur knees or die on your feet.
I don’t blame the blacks. It looks ridiculous for whites kneeling for no reason.
RedMindRising It’s almost like the PR stunt of the entire BlackLivesMatter protests. Weird.
Then you saw the sobbing Latino screaming She's protecting her Tribes, and whites, Mex, indian, EU, AU better know they're unwelcomed guests to Black rallies...
Don't kneel with the squeal.
DON'T U FEEL SORRY FOR THE COP'S OHHH GOD BE WITH U COP'S I ALWAYS FEEL BAD WHEN I THINK OF UR LIFE IS ALWAYS IN DANGEROUS
PatiM2 Yep, March with us right up til Sunset, we'll take over from there. Once ANTIFA/DACA/DREAMERS show up to take all the Loot$$$
I remember Dylan Roof was publicity forgiven by family members of those killed. By those that these lives mattered the most to. Praise Jesus. There was no destruction, only hugs and tears and pressing closer to God.
Yes... So that they can steal Nike stores alone 😂😂😂😂😂
That's why you dont bend the knee because itll never be enough for them.
Haha, all that kneeling got you fucking nowhere.
Lots of bigots in BLM movement.
These police are a disgrace! What a shame. Bowing to masters.
Lesson learnt. Never. Kneel. To. The. Mob.
if they had nothing to protest they may have to get a job.
Pathetic & embarrassing.
Cold day in hell I kneel & who are these cops?
Well, leave ....this shit is unbelievable!
You will never please the mob! So stop trying!
Is this news? Please define “many”...5? 20? 100?. Can you name a few?
Fck em
Well now its gonna be like the N word you can't say only of your blk. So I guess we can't kneel if our skin isn't dark enough! Wow
I thank them !!!!!
Good because I think it’s demeaning of them to do so. They have nothing to kneel for.
We finally agree on 1 thing
PR stunt? So is your kneeling.
lowkeyheat_ BLACK ORGANIZERS would not do that... they are NOT that ARROGANT as to not accept an Olive branch;they know need to work with GOOD HONORABLE POLICE ppl! So whoever is responsible for that little lie is trying to sow discord! I CALL BS!
Well , that would be the end of their PR stunt.
How can we make changes when we are not allowed to do it. If we are accused of a publicity stunt everytime we genuinely try to make a statement, we are doomed to our current position!
They're against inclusivity.
Opposed to their publicity stunt. Give America a break and go home already. Geez.
Go back to the hood
A policeman who kneels is as good a BlackLivesMatter or Antifa member.
you give 1 inch they want the whole map
Because those are the ones who prefer to INITIATE violence then be the first to yell they’re a “victim of racism” for the publicity!!
Agreed
Don't want unity, want to be the 'slave owners' with a twist...
Fuck that
Police giving them a sign of peace
These same so called Black organizers are the problem not the solution
Of course they don’t. If the cops are nice to them they can’t loot, riot or cry about police brutality!
That ain’t fight for civil rights no more. It’s more like a rage against all the police force now...
So we're in agreement, then.
Love how unorganized these 'organizations' are when they don't get the responses they're looking for. Then their message is diluted or even lost.
That's because they are pushing for a race war.
They'd rather police abuse them? Something is wrong with these organizers if they don't want the police siding with them.
Nothing makes a professional complainer satisfied. Nothing. They don't know what to do when you tell them you agree and are with them. they'll find another reason to be mad. it NEVER ends
The taxpayers demand a neutral police force. The Cultural Marxist’s politicization of the police is in itself a crime. Demand a purge of every officer who took sides in a election year. This is the state unduly attempting to influence the election joining in with Trump haters.
because they don't want unity. They got exposed. Always the case. They won't accept yes for an answer. Everyone is on the same side, but they hate that, and want to keep protesting something
Yeah, I saw cops using this tactic to get protesters to get closer so they could spray them with pepper spray and shoot them with rubber bullets. So....no. Don’t because some cops are using it as a trap
But if something happens or they’re in danger, they’re gonna call the cops. Not ghostbusters. It’s nt a PR stunt. You’d b surprised how many cops see exactly wat ur saying. They too have faced prejudice in the police force. It just doesn’t happen in the St.
The protest was against police brutality. And police used police brutality during the protests. How much change can we expect?
That's just illogical.
Since we are all kneeling, can’t we use that time to pray for forgiveness and ask that The Lord Jesus heal our nation.
KABBFOX29 Cops arent educated enough to find a more genuine show of support. How about you know youve beaten citizens...so quit!
Says ABC
Not surprised. People live to hate
My mother always told me to give a compliment before giving my opinion. ABC is my go to news broadcaster. How many leaders did you have to interview to find the few calling it a pr stunt?
These organizers hate the police and hate white people.
maybe the BLACK ORGANIZERS NEED TO SPEAK LOUDER SEEMS too may are HARD OF HEARING
It is a or stunt.
That’s because after they kneel for the photos, they throw tear gas right after off camera
We have to admit that most of the time the police are protecting our people. In the face of drug dealers, in the face of the gunmen, in the face of looting when the police work in the front line! Let Biden and the left wing of the Democratic Party do this?
They should accept the gesture in the spirit of solidarity if its sincere. Start a bridge for healing the divide. I am sure they get enough flack from the other police who are into their power trip or that are white supremacists.
Neither does MSM… Messes up the division they are trying to encourage..
Shame on them. This is why we can’t have reform. They black organizers want to keep things status quo.
nokneeling
2006 FBI report described white supremacists infiltration of police
Why?
Some officers mean it. The good ones that may be in the process of being forced out of the police department, because they refuse to comply with drumming up arrest quotas might need to show their support too. Kneeling with them is a start but not the end.
There just trying to be nice!
Is this because we could be empowering the good cops?
no one wants police on there knees these are not true Americans they know the truth on black gangs that have murder more of there own color, Barr is going to find the organizers and who funded the riots.
Not their choice
They want their own water fountain....
For many Blacks this is too painful. They need to be in this moment with their own! They see outsiders as opportunists. They need to believe that this moment isn’t fleeting... that this is the moment the world came together for Black people to stop Racism!
Because they are racist.
No one should be kneeling to anyone else...there are way more dignified means to show someone respect.
Because that shows harmony, and that’s the last thing they want. If the hate is gone so goes the power think about that and tell me I’m wrong.
RT I disagree. The more this happens the better our society will become!
Evidence that they want nothing but Social upheaval and a Socialist Government. They have no respect for 200+ yrs of History...Wait until the Socialists form a National Police Force and the end of the Bill of Rights!
Well most people agree with them
Yes, Its just a shallow virtue signal. Many of the reasonable people want certain issues addressed. I can't agree on some of the their demands but reducing police brutality would be something that can bring people of both races together. De-escalation should be a priority.
nana4MANY Many black organizers should know the consequences preventing people from taking a knee.
Even if it stops or reduces the violence?
Minneapolis Is Dismantling It's Police Dept.! Bravo! Bravo! Change Is Coming Folks. Change Is Here!
What do they want then? Don't they want support?
BLM is afraid of losing control over the crisis
Kneeling might not be the approprite display for killing a man by kneeling on his neck.
This makes absolutely 0 sense. If officers take a knee then to me that means they are actually listening. Protestors that don’t like it are ignorant
Not all police are bad.
Whhaaaaaa I want attention. Whaaaa people are giving me attention and I don’t like it. GTFOH.
Damned if you do Damned if you don't. Have mercy
Or it’s because it contradicts their narrative that all police are evil.
Hurts their narrative.. Harder to induce violence
It's not about solutions and understanding, it's about just having a good time.
It's hard to incite a riot when police are kneeling in support of George Floyd.
Many Police are good Men and Women we should want them to show unity. It warms my heart to witness positive interaction with protestors
I don’t blame them when I see the violence against these protesters. These cops need to be retrained.
I can see their point of view. By showing 'not all cops are bad,' it makes the problem of police abuse of power seem like isolated incidents rather than a systemic problem. However, cops who sincerely want to support the protest should be allowed to. Maybe just not in uniform.
The organizers need more practice. When they applied for permits, they should have included 'no kneeling' in the rules. Are the protests themselves for publicity? Are the protesters kneeling for publicity? Nobody is qualified to judge someone else's heart. Rules must be EQUAL!
Oh that’s good. No prejudice there. No hope for healing or working together to solve issues.
RealDoctorMike said : Racism isn't just a Human Right Issue. it's also a Health issue 👌 Full video 👍 BlackLivesMatter
Is there a poll?
Many? What’s that mean?
Never kneel, you cowards. We won't.
Only until you are dead will they be happy.
Well it kinda works against the race baiting hustler agendas.
Where is the National news Coverage for the white couple (Tuttles)in Houston TX killed by cops serving a falsified no knock warrant! Where is their outcry for change? Enough is enough! White lives matter, all lives matter!
Is there anything that they won't find fault with?
They shouldn't be anyway.
Is anyone happy with anything?
You will never be woke enough for the mob.
The community has to come together. Peace can't work if we don't. There's a lot of communication that has to happen but a show of solidarity is a start.
Divisiveness...the new Karen
world_news_eng So now their making it personal and not for unity, how every one else wants. Who's being discriminatary now. I just don't get it.
If someone demands that you get on your knees just because of the color of your skin. THEY ARE THE RACIST!
I want them bashing the looters heads in
Blacklives matter!!! Bullshit... lives matter his didnt. Grannies basher
Police please stop the bootlicking
Lol ..... a cannon shooting rubber bullets ..... ok Karen
Why not
Lol... popcorn 🍿
Exactly. Appeasement doesn't work, it just makes things worse.
Agree. Stop kneeling and marching with anybody. Law and order.
gwgoodwin Copaganda it is phony
You can't win. WakeUpAmerica StopTheHate StopTheInsanity EndTheCorruption DumpTheDems WalkAway CrookedMedia CorruptPress JournalismIsDead AmericaFirst CountryOverParty DemocratsHateAmerica
well, of course not. they hate police, and they have contempt for white liberals.
Know what else is a stunt? Black Lives Matter. They haven't said shit about David Dorn and other black Americans killed as a result of the rioting. Its all a stunt. A Marxist stunt our media is too stupid to see, or too wilfully supporting.
Of course they don’t, they want us DEAD! And we better start facing facts or we won’t have a country left.
Yeah the organizers say that...
Police should be shooting the looters
...os que não querem é pq estão nos manifestos por outros motivos. O amor e a aceitação deve vir de todos os lados. Simples assim...
Well they are stupid,
Unify with us....no stop trying to do the right thing.....make up your minds
Now is the time to unite against discrimination. Police aren't the enemy. Prejudice and hate are the enemy. We should all be kneeling for change and standing up for the America we WANT.
Someone should tell them they’re kneeling to a group that has been very outspoken in the past about calling for the death of police officers.
Please note that they said some. I have seen that most protesters welcome that response from police. As you know, the news media loves controversy and conflict and will try to poison the well to get it.
Nor should they bow down to these domestic Terrorists.
We need to make sure those so-called 'black organizers' are not influenced by the CCP, which has been snooping around adding fuel to the fire. Chinese operatives want to distract American ppl from the ChineseVirus pandemic that is destroying the very fiber of American society!
By many you mean you really don’t know
Citizens are experiencing PTD. It’s not only in military people. Citizens have it to from environment. We’re not being protected.
Always reject the demands of the violent mob. There is no reason there.
thats wrong. they are humans and US citizens too. Most of the police are not racists.
Now we know it's never really been about the police.
Good!
NOOO POLICE BAD YOU CANT MAKE PPL THINK POLICE GOOD, POLICE BAD
Fucking hell So they want equality Yet want to be different
They can't detour for a trip to the store with cops following..
Jenius.
So wtf are they insisting they should.
KNEEL BEFORE THE ANTI-WHITES
we(they)do not want to kneel for you either or march ...no problem...all of you are criminals
Defund the police... How do you think that will play out in the community? Sounds like GENOCIDE to me.
I do not believe that, I think they found it flattering, because all police officers are not bad. just like all people are not bad. That was awesome to see.
Absolutely. That would be an attempt to co-opt the very thing they represent.
Cool. You can stop having Antifa join you as well.
it is!
I don't want them kneeling either. Looks like utter cowardice and weakness.
Too bad
and others ask them too. Mixed Messages.
Many want to defund them.
Good, they shouldn’t be kneeling anyway!
We all need to kneel so it loses it meaning of anti American
bluelivesmatter 👮♀️👮♂️👇👇👇
Boy, they can’t win! Damned if you do and damned if you don’t!
It is tough to show support when however you choose to is criticized. Maybe it is time to assume that whatever form the support takes is well intended.
I only live now for the day Trump's defeated & powerless. That's when every racist & vile thing about him will start coming out & Every Single One of his supporters will have to come to terms with the fact they ignored all the evidence & openly protected a racist, rapist etc...!
I just can't understand why Republicans are openly saying they're mad at Democrats for protesting police brutality & murder, wanting a cleaner environment for their kids too & want fair elections for all of us. It's just mad they're talking a public stance against that. Animals!
I think because its like an abusive husband beating on his wife time and time again but after he does it he buys her flowers and Strawberrys.
Thats exactly what they are
Again, nothing will be good enough to support the black community. It plays over and over. What’s next?
Why did the reporter allow Sampson to take over the interview he was having with the LAPD officer? Why? Because the interview with Sampson would bring more ratings!
So they are hypocrites if they try to do good and support. They are racist if they arrest people. So conclusion nobody will ever be happy. Got it.
Never kneel to anyone.
Solidarity is solidarity. If you take a knee, and then revert back to violence, often as a first option, in every interaction that you have with the public with which you are obligated to protect; who are you as a person? In this moment of reckoning kneeling shows awareness.
They're probably improving their skills to kneel on the neck of another black lad without killing him.
I think it’s not genuine respect. They saw someone do it on TV and so now they’re all doing it to calm them he crowd.
Basically, you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.
POLICE KNEELING IS WHAT MURDERED GEORGE FLOYD. BE CLEAR, REAL BLACK PEOPLE DON'T WANT KNEELING. WE WANT POLICE LOCKED UP FOR ABUSING US. WE WANT PRO-BLACK LEGISLATION. BLACK PEOPLE WANT RESTITUTION AND REPARATIONS AND SEPARATION FROM THIS WHITE SUPREMACIST SOCIETY. PERIOD.
It sounds so...demagogue!
Damn if you do damn if you dont.
PR means public relations. So showing the public that you can relate to and sympathize with them is indeed public relations. Doesn't make it bad. Remember a player taking a knee is also a so-called PR stunt.
Do they even know “what “ they want? Kneeling, no kneeling, some BLM not others, TV’s or just building destruction, stay at home, go out and protest, social distancing or gathering in mobs? The Left is insane!
It is a PR stunt. Dont turn your back because you just might get a bullet in it. And stop dancing with them. This aint no damn party😡
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
PR or not it’s appalling. Isn’t this whole situation because George Floyd’s neck was kneeled on. So, do they want police to keep kneeling or what? I’m confused.
Cannot win-
I think they should just be thankful that some police officers are trying to do better and show everyone that they are on the side of good. It’s hard to trust them these days, for sure, but if we’re ever gonna heal as a nation, and move forward, we need to encourage positivity.
🤡
Duh. They take a knee long enough for a photo, then get back up and start again with beating people with bats and shooting them in the face.
Of course, nothing and no one is honest today right? That’s the problem, no trust and zero fucks for humanity
You see cops yet I see Americans doing their job. Some of your coworkers are racist does that make them all racist. Resist the commander of chaos Donald Trump.
No pleasing them. F'm. First they chant the police to a knee, then they take a shit on their face.
Does kneeling help aiming?
That's exactly what they are. If they REALLY want to help, stop your partners from killing americans citizens unjustly.
The issue with them taking a knee (for the cameras) is that 10 minutes later they are tear gassing and shooting humans. How does this show solidarity It doesn’t, it shows a “PR stunt”.
These protestors are some real assclowns
No Shit 👎
Let's give peace a chance.
Damn if you do damn if you dont.
Not All cops are bad those who take the knee are NOT being patronizing! Observe those who arent !!
Core problem: You raise your voice or dont immediately comply w/every command a cop gives you - you get hurt. Getting better b/c of phone cams but still long way to go. Everyone MUST record EVERY interaction w/cops & policy change that stops internal 'buddy system' protection.
I will kneel before no man!
Well, it is... I didnt see any officers kneeling before the protests except the ones kneeling on black folks' necks. Js
We've all watched game of thrones and know what bending the knee signifies.
Damned if they do damned if they don't
You scream at them to do it and now you’re whining that some do! Which is it Can’t be both. Personally, think it is each officer’s personal feelings on display and they should be commended for that. 👍🏻
Some protesters will not accept any jester from white people. If we do not surrender to them, they will kill us. 😖😖😖
The Police Force is made of Americans like the protesters. They exist to protect all us. If the protesters believe that by kneeling they are doing a PR stunt they are deadly wrong.
Yes it's fake
Absolutely!! Fuck them!!
there are GOOD cops, just like GOOD white,black, Latino folks. It’s the ass clowns of each that make everyone look bad
They should do it without police uniforms
I hope it is an acknowledgement that they have to do a better job of policing themselves.
😔😔😔😔
There is nothing they can do that is going to make everyone happy.
But, it takes courage to do that.
Then maybe those protestors don’t have an actual goal... isn’t this police showing solidarity?
You’ll never please the rioters. When will whites “protest” for the overwhelming amount of black on white crime, one bad white cop kills one criminal junkie and there is riots. Blacks kill whites 25x more and zero
This is ABC, they love the race war. Damned if they do damned if they don’t. What people don’t get is when you give into the mob they don’t forgive, but smell blood.
You see them kneeling in the daytime but when it turns night those same officers are shooting the protesters they kneeled with. Show your solidarity, refuse the order!
What government should do for citizens? Foster economic growth, promote liberty and strong families, provide insight on how we can all get along with everyone else so our country can function and be a civilization.
They should leave the country and go see what other countries are like- for blacks to cry systemic oppression on this great nation after electing a black president for TWO TERMS- face it blacks will always cry foul for what happened.100 years ago.and cry racism
I hope these guys pull out of all neighborhoods that don't feel safe with cops. lets see a few more Detroits pop up. take the whole city with no cops and enjoy it.
So would you rather they kneel -whether stunt or not- or defiantly swing their batons and fire their tear gas?
the only ones that benefit's from division in your country is what you call the news and Media alike. Get your self's out of this dopamine dealer's This not press are Drug cartel's of emotions and feeling's.
If they stay standing disrespectful, if kneeling a stunt, danged if you do danged if you don't
Optics being surrender and declaring fealty.
Because it will never be enough. They do not want solidarity, they want total control. Fuck them. Stop placating these people and restore order.
Dammed if u do dammed if u don’t. Correct.
ABC & ALL OF MSM & DEMS DO NOT WANT PEACE.. THAT IS HOW THEY MAKE THEIR $$$. IF KNEELING WITH THE PROTESTER WILL CALM THE SITUATION, WHY NOT
How many fake hoax’s can we have.
The protesters will never be happy. Time end it all
You will never be woke enough for the mob.
It is
Damned if you do and damned if ya don't. Some people despised the false narrative media.
What about those in the background not partaking, caring less? Are they a PR stunt too?
You know, if they are kneeling, they want peace. These protesters are really losing site to the real issue on why this all started.
I kneel before no man!
They are not forced to kneel. It is a voluntary show of support. If they say we what they truly feel they would get fired. Help them help you.
Shocking 🙄
It’s what they want, right? Make a list and tell them what you want!
Proving you aren't always going to please everyone
É o poste mijando no cachorro, aqui no Brazil estão lutando para anarquizar e confundir.
People 'take issue' with EVERYTHING. We have built a society of cry babies so it's expected.
Some may take it seriously, but if a cop doesn't support comprehensive, reasonable reform from the top down, they aren't good cops.
Lord you can’t please everyone.
It is a PR stunt. Police are only as good as the people they serve and protect. Now they serve and protect the wealthy in a Nazi led country that uses racism. Before you kneel take off that uniform and lay down your weapons.
Of course not. The left is NEVER satisfied
Kowtowing.
Algunos cometen el error de señalar a todos los policías de corruptos, 'racistas' o de brutalidad policial', lo cual eso no es verdad.
Refuse to kneel or resign. Fight or flight, cops fight. This is a disgrace.
Nothing is gonna satisfy these them
Whoops, there goes solidarity. They call this a PR stunt? I think the whole protest is a PR stunt. 🗽🇺🇸
It shows the fracture in trust that exists between the police and the people they are supposed to serve and this was wholly created by the law enforcement community so they must be the ones to fix it and this is completely lost by too many individuals who are cops.
Cont: but are outnumbered by sociopathic Police/forces from all races,colour/color and creed and the good go along for their livelihood and get sucked into. Read Serpico; a good insight of a good cop outnumbered by the bad and the Untouchable;Police needs more FBI infiltration.
Isn't that what the protesters are doing 😂😂😂😂
The kneeling down is a protest against brutality, racism, hate supporting people of all race; as we've seen with that 75 years old white man, colour and creed being murdered. There are good Police and soldiers who do care;Cont:
Is this the new “thoughts and prayers”? I can understand the fear of that. I also understand that those officers can kneel down today and violently assault someone tomorrow. There is already photo evidence of that.
I yelled get the fuck up at my TV.
Nothing is enough for the Mob.
Cowards traitors 🤢
As a retired cop, I feel confident in saying that of course it isn’t a PR stunt. It’s a tactic to calm the crowd, to take the heat out of the situation, to stop the riots. It seems to be working and you can’t or shouldn’t blame them for it, it’s their job to restore the peace.
JustFlyGlobal and interjet airlines are denying thousands of customers a refund, even when it was the airline who canceled our flights. They should be forbidden from doing business in the US due to not following USDOT rules. InvestigateInterjet InvestigateJustFly
When they fucked up we will look for their pics again🤣🤣🤣
Es una puta vergüenza,lo peor q ha visto el mundo ,a la ley ,humillándose ante los terrorisras crimínales!!!
NIV:“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. ENO.
We are one.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
Law enforcement should not be kneeling! Impartiality, professional, and respect is your duty.
If the United States is a fair country! then Black life is very important, okay! Other people’s lives are equally important, okay? ! Racism: Treating a race in different ways (unfairly) or giving him special powers...that is, racism.
Interesting. Kneel. Stand. Abolish. Wonder what happens when there's: Domestic assault. Break-in. Child abduction. Robbery. Drug dealing. Car accidents. Road rage. Assault and battery. Who are they going to call? Ghostbusters?
Can’t make everyone happy
Fuck everybody. Can’t make everybody happy. Why can’t we all just get along it’s really simple do unto others as you would have them do unto to you. Love thy neighbor stop looking for things to cleve us apart -a cop wants to take a knee let him take a knee COVID GONNA WIN ANYWAY
No kneeling for mob!
Salamat GMA7 💓 sa patas na Pagbabalita. We need ABSCBN to remain closed 😂 junkABS
They will never be satisfied.
BluntsNotBatons
This is why you should never cave to the left. It will never be enough.

Pot calling the kettle...
Not really, give them a chance, isn’t that what this about making change ?
Some. Not all. Please emphasize on the correct words!!
“Some Americans have a problem with the protests, calling it a PR stunt”
Under the protection of the US Constitution, Americans can march in protest and free speech (China’s only freedom of speech can only attack the United States). In the US, no violent protests are required. Do not let the US become China or let negative emotions infect others.
It IS a stunt.
So it’s ok for some to protest but not allow the police to join their cause....is it a democracy or not?
It’s pathetic kneeling to protesters/ rioters/ killers. Police are to be NON political. But alas it’s PC policing
So everyone had a problem with the rubber bullets and tear gas and now........'kneeling' too?
The people who instigate riots are not protesters. Use the correct terminogy media
LeslieMarshall
It’s wolves in sheep’s clothing. It’s all a lie.
Na. It is a job. It is group controlled and folks need to survive. Not so simplistic to encounter becaue of built in choas. Need to get out of the emotional to🤔👀🍷🌹🙏🏾😷🌹😇 effectively make the structural changes.
Democrats will always keep moving the targets. It’s an unproductive discussion where you are born racist, cannot have or speak a different opinion, and even your submission, humiliation and “allying” will never be good enough. They’ve turned reverse racism into a religion.
So tell them to stand up then
Police enforcement, just remember to protect and serve and all will be cool.
Can’t do anything right! WTF!!
Fuck them!
it certainly feels like one if you take into consideration the fact that some of cops kneeling one day were against protesters the next day
They complain about being unhappy with the police. When officers demonstrate they agree with them, they aren't happy. These people aren't happy about anything, are they?
you just can't please them no matter what you do.
Isn't that what they were going for?
I told you so. Once you give in they will double down. That's why do not appologize!
Odds of getting hit by lightning are 1 in 700,000. Odds of being black and getting killed by a cop while unarmed: 1 in 17,500,000. Let me help you with the math. You are 25 times more likely to be hit by lightning. bluelivesmatter
Let 5em kneel and be grateful they are doing that instead of macing protesters.
I think they are mocking the protesters because the murder was done by kneeling. Their supporting their brothers that get charged with murder.
Maybe they are planning to try out for the NFL
This nice gesture is hallow if there are no serious actions taken to right the wrongdoing within the administration of their department They should allow this protesters to protest & protect them until the movement objective is achieved
There’s just no winning for anyone. 🤦🏻♂️
Et c'est pour quand Trump et son équipe de fachos qui vont s'agenouiller en signe de solidarité avec George Floyd?
You can’t please everyone
RealDoctorMike said : Racism isn't just a Human Right Issue. it's also a Health issue 👌 Full video 👍 BlackLivesMatter
Or being both respectful and sensitive to the real inequalities in life including racism. After all they are human as well. Have families , spouses, have siblings, parents, volunteer, community leaders, go to church, citizens, taxpayers and have a tough and dangerous jobs to do
Umm because it is
It's a good sign, by the authorities.
Can they do anything right to please some people at this point?
In 2013, 2245 African American/Black people killed 2491 African American/Black people. In 2018, 7407 African American/Black persons were killed. Focusing only on police violence won’t reduce these homicides of black people. BlackLivesMatter need to be more over encompassing
not PR stunt.. but surrendering
If the cops wanted to show their support to BlackLivesMatter they should have let the blacks kneel on their necks 4/8 minutes of silence. PoliceBrutalityPandemic PoliceReformNow PoliceFreeSchools
We dont need the Macarena or a street named after the movement. We need police reform, police defund, end of brutal tactics, hold killer kops accountable, and trump resign. All these other police charades they used in Iraq should be ignored
UNTIL GOOD COPS HOLD BAD COPS ACCOUNTABLE, THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS 'PERIOD'.
It is. They are all PR stunts. Celebrities are the biggest ones. People are going along with all this just to get it out of the way. They don’t believe in the cause. They don’t support it. They just tolerate it.
Definitely a PR stunt. This shit has been going on too long. And now they care?
Fundamental is that the police have authority, privileges, use of force & weapons, which is a power imbalance the police-citizen relationship. Police thus need to be held to a higher account for their actions. When they are not, it’s affects everyone, with some more than others.
Let’s start with love and peace!!! Amen!
Yea and we law abiding American citizens take issue with thugs killing, wounding and robbing people all in the name of protest. TimeToArmYourselves.
Unfortunately some people just enjoy being miserable.
🤷♂️ they don't know what they want stop giving them air time
How you think you were able to get that picture for ABC NEWS
This is ridiculous.
I say...when one is in a fight, build allies who come to you. Side eyes are necessary, but the more the better to make a more lasting change. Trust, but verified.
YEA CAUSE THIS AINT THE 1990s YOU DONT BE OUTSIDE TO BE OUTSIDE... plus we’re educated
They’re trying to show support and respect which most of you know nothing about.
They protesters are a bunch of spoiled brats. Would have liked to see how they’d behave if they had to go through WW2. Standing in line for rations, wearing gas masks and running for cover from attacks. They have nothing to complain about just looking for any excuse to wine.
so you want thhem to kneel, but you don't want them to kneel. ok
Nah they just practicing.
Oh but the celebrities and corporations are definitely sincere...
I'm all for Black Lives Matter but the police are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They are trying to unify and now you don't want them to try to unify! STOP.
It's impossible to please a hipster
Just goes to prove how deep the mistrust is.
These men are most likely humble and haven’t been a problem in the department. They don’t have a problem kneeling. Its the ones full of pride, anger and complaints, their not kneeling for nobody. Either way you can only measure sincerity over time.
Who cares !
they are never satisfied
It is when they bash the protesters skulls in when the sun goes down
You do NOT need to kneel. You did not Murder Mr. Floyd. If you have confidence in yourselves, and know you are a good law enforcement officer then there's no need to kneel! STOP kneeling! You owe nobody. STOP! Go about doing a good job.
'Kendrick Sampson, a Black Lives Matter organizer and actor.' Seriously. Kill celebrity culture.
Probably because once the photo op is over they beat, gas and pepper spray and shoot the crowds when they aren't hitting them with their cars.
Well then you can't win. I believe the knelling officers are doing this out of respect for the cause. I might be wrong but I really hoping I'm right
If those cops are serious they’ll turn in the gear and just go home. It takes a pretty small conscious to go out and beat people for a living.
Don't clean up, it's racist. Don't kneel, is not genuine. Is there a rule book that we don't know about?
So their agreeing with you which is what everyone wants and your POd. What group is paying you
I think many mean it but gtd some do not.
Sincerity is in the eye of the beholder these protests need to be careful what they allow and denounce.
Ok,shoot rioters it is then.
It doesn't matter one way or another - who knows if it's sincere or psy ops? It's an easy gesture either way. Moot issue. What matters is whether those cops take it home, confront their cop brethren, and produce actual reform. We've seen this stuff since 1968, same damned issue.
ITS OBVIOUS WHAT THEY WANT /... THEY WANT A CITY 🌃 WITH NO POLICE “ AFTER THEY DEFUND THE POLICE, THEN WHAT ... GANG WARS /... NEW WORLD COMMUNIST ARMY ? OpenAmericaNOW
You ask them to kneel, they kneel and then you a call it a PR stunt? nowin
The protestors don't want peace they want confrontation they want the police to look like the bad guys. The moment the police take action to keep the peace, the protestors win by making a scene. Fyi there are bad apples but they are tiny majority.
Only counts if your not beating the sht out of people when the photo op is over
They should be on both knees praying to God.
What they were doing they day before they almost killed that old man
It’s total pr. And are the protesters taking photos with them doing it. It’s a way to pacify the unreasonable.
Kneeling has taken on a new meaning🤪
I disagree, I have NEVER SEEN THIS. When any man is kneeling HE MEANS IT! If you have an issue with my tweet THINK of Colin Kaepernick, there is NO way he knelt for a PR strunt! I personally would NEVER EVER kneel for something I don’t believe in!
It’s not enough. They still uphold shitty laws and systemic racism! They as a whole are still abusing their power. NoJusticeNoPeaceProsecuteThePolice
Nobody should kneel to the mob. Ever.
This is the weakest ass milquetoast headline I've ever 'allegedly' ever seen
As long as they're kneeling they're not hitting anyone with batons. So this is good.
This why you shouldn’t bend the knee to start with! Stand proudly against police brutality but don’t kneel down to your fellow citizens!!!
Everything is a PR stunt. Look at all the companies that jump at the chance to capitalize off important issues
It's called virtue signaling idiots
The left has lost its mind! This needs to stop!
It is a PR stunt
It's 'the carrot'.
Respect shall conquer 🙏
You cannot appease the left. They will only accept surrender.
So can we stop the kneeling now?
Agreed
Considering the officer who pushed the 75-year-old man resulting in his hospitalization had taken the knee the day before I think this is a valid concern
Lol
