Ohio governor says protests are "not only understandable, but they are also appropriate"Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said he regrets not addressing the George Floyd death at a news conference, saying he was focused on Covid-19 updates.
“I regret I didn’t make a comment yesterday when we had a regularly scheduled press conference,” DeWine said. “Candidly I was focused on Covid-19 and testing. Which has been occupying pretty much all my waking hours. Its not an excuse it’s a fact.” DeWine called the Floyd video “horrific,” and said that he cannot begin to imagine what African American families feel about the video. DeWine said he supports protesters’ right to assemble but asks Ohioans to do it peacefully.
“Protests expressing outrage are not only understandable, but they are also appropriate,” he said at a news conference Friday. “I ask my fellow Ohio citizens today as you gather in protest in the coming days regardless of the issue please do so peacefully. We must not fight violence with more violence. When protests turn violent lives are put at stake.”
DeWine said he did not have an estimate for damage caused to the Ohio Statehouse during the Floyd protests Thursday night.share with Facebook
WLM✊ WHITE LIVES MATTER
Not black live, but every live matter, dont be fooled by financer of domestic terrorism, thay use these organizations to fulfill their political agenda. Save the country, or there will be nothing to be protest for.
I am seriously concerned this is going to end badly.
George Floyd had a long history with cocaine! Cocaine often produces undetectable heart issues that can kill suddenly! When a violent crack head has a heart attack it‘s not „tragic“! He was not murdered by cops, he had terrible underlying health conditions!
It's sickening that CNN can't call out the total lawlessness & destruction being done by THUGS in this country!😡
What a way to honor the death of someone you don’t know than by destroying property.
Lol curfews was there for corona too but see where that went
They should do better and charge the other three cops. Otherwise there is still work to do!
Racist!
LA riots of 1992 black community have their lives destroyed by rioters. This what cnn is cheering on
Fuck them. UP THE SMOKE.
No one is abiding by the “breaking and entering, theft or arson” but there going to follow a curfew law
Just imagine what would be happening if they couldn’t get a hair cut or go to a restaurant 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
