'Stop killing black people': George Floyd's death sparks protests in Minneapolis, Memphis and Los Angeles

“The facts of what led up to the shooting are still being sorted out. We are truly in the infancy of this investigation,” Elder said.

“Justice historically has never come to fruition through some of the acts we’re seeing tonight, whether it’s the looting, the damage to property or other things,” he said.A silent demonstration to protest the death of Floyd, as well as Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, turned into verbal confrontationsThe rally began with about 40 people holding signs reading “Black Lives Matter,” “Stop killing black people” and “Silence is violence.

Rioting and looting will take the focus off of Mr. Floyd’s murder. Sad that the people have to destroy their own community. I will never understand it. I get that they r angry but rioting will only deepen the divide. MSM needs to stop using race as an issue it is not productive

There is a difference between protestors and thugs!

Rioters*

Now why in the hell are they yelling in LA? This happened almost 2,000 miles away!

What’s gonna happen when the police decide to fight back?

In short: 'The lack of compassion, use of excessive force, or going beyond the scope of the law, doesn't just tarnish our badge – it tears at the very fabric of race relations in this country,' Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said in a statement posted to Twitter.

I really, really wish I had the remedy to the senselessness of intolerance, injustice & inequality, but I'm pretty sure that random violence, burning and looting, is anti-productive to achieving them. 😨😰

Fact check: riots When you consider looting a store that had nothing to do with the original incident, burning your own neighborhood down makes perfect sense. WTG!

Blacks are at it again. Looting shops.

Killing was outrageous- rioting and looting is another issue.

The police and us, people should march together for George Floyd! Peaceful march together. Never let this happen again. 💜

VONWEHUNTSHOW protesters more like animals.

Like a story in a western, we know who is guilty, but they still must get a fair trial. The rioting is wrong. But it in no way exonerates the police officers and what they did.

My Mom, Marise: 'When you see a corruption happening, you use your mouth. You talk. If they don't listen, talk louder. If they still don't listen, get more of you to talk .'

If so outraged?How is this still happening?I know the why. But how? Sorry 2 say I think I know that 1-2. If not?Register! Then vote every single F’in’ election. Make sure there’s a law or referendum 2 fix elected officials who won’t or can’t do their jobs. Yes Felicia that simple

Not protesters. These people were rioters and looters.

FakeNewsMedia reminds rioters to social distance are not followed
