Stealing. Right?

The question is why he is surprised when 96% of Americans polled agree with the protesters. Who is biased?

George Floyd (R.I.P) . None of the peaceful protesters are interested in looting and destroying their own Cities , They want 'Justice' . We want to know through NBCnews if Agencies are investigating the involvement of any External Forces who are fueling the looting & burning

wtf lol he hates white people

The Rich chilling hOme waiting for Storm to be oVer! 😂 Put Celebs-Athletes-Politicians on the frOnt line, that's the Real Answer!

They are also united in their riots, looting and killings.

Спасибо за новость

DEMOCRATS murdered the BEST president they had John F. Kennedy.

And they hate us just as much.

Our musical response to the madness and hate

The people protesting the protestors are equally diverse.

Yes

Antifa= diversity ! Ffs

San Francisco 1968.

1) Less militarized and authoritarian policing , 2) Trump out. Police departments and governors can take care of 1, and we’ve got the second item taken care of.

STOP TRUMP! STAY HOME FOR 2 WEEKS The US Military cannot fight you if you are 'IN YOUR ABODE'! TAKE CHARGE BY SHUTTING DOWN THE ECONOMY UNTIL HE IS RESIGNED 25% unemployed IF IT GOES TO 75% WHEN PEOPLE STAY HOME THAT IS THE PEACEFUL CHANGE REQUIRED! ECONISIDE

They are beating the hell out of white people for being white. What the HELL is this NEGRO NAZI talking about?

Outside police shooting boards commissions needed indepedent of policing structures beyond tampering by Chief or Commissioner. Civilian agencies work successful in many jurisdictions

Not yet, soon to be though!

What started out as protests against police brutality has grown into a revolution against living in America under Trumps indifference to our pain and suffering

Yes the diversity is really amazing!

Yeah, we just need to keep it going, and get organized around a concrete set of demands.

We all need a new TV and new NIKE sneakers every now and then, mater. We're all in this shit together!

Oh, that’ll change in the near future. It’s like when prisoners have to choose a gang to survive in prison. The blacks will turn against the white protesters and vice versa.

We have stood idly by for decades too long.

I haven’t seen no one paying my bills, I have worked legally ever since cake to USA 🇺🇸, hope one day someone pay 💰 my bills ! Wink

نعم الشكل

Don't destroy the cities

With 96% of Americans agreeing with protesters, what range (diversity) of people would be expected? A highly diverse one. More telling would be the demographics of the 4% who disagreed with protesters.

America's strength has always been the diversity of its people and the achievements that that diversity allows. America is far from perfect, but we strive to progress. Trump, Republicans & his administration have been destroying America bit by bit.

Yes we all want equal justice for all! Burning bldgs & looting doesn’t get you to that result!

We are all with this peaceful protest all around the world. The world is watching and we together can overcome, and over achieve our common goal. Peace, love, understanding with the most empathy we can give and all deserve.

Thank you SpikeLeeJoint I would be out there in dtla today, but my mom is older, and I don’t want to freak her out more than she already is. In solidarity.
