An AP tally shows at least 9,300 people have been arrested in protests since the police killing of George Floyd.

The Latest on the May 25 death in Minneapolis of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck:— Arrest total reaches at least 9,300 in protest around country since George Floyd’s death.— Protest in Washington on Tuesday lacking tension of previous night’s demonstrations.PORTLAND, Ore.

Los Angeles has recorded 2,700 arrests since the protests, followed by New York with about 1,500. Police in Dallas, Houston and Philadelphia have also arrested several hundred people. People marched in groups of thousands in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, as merchants boarded up their businesses. As the the curfew time arrived, many were still in the streets and continued marching, with officers initially standing by and allowing them.

Instead of the spray-painted tags, the protesters Tuesday favored colorful children’s street chalk, writing Black Lives Matter slogans on the asphalt in front of St. John’s Church. On Monday, law enforcement officers on foot and horseback aggressively drove protesters away from Lafayette Park, clearing the way for President Donald Trump to do a photo op at St. John’s Church, known as the church of presidents. On Tuesday, pastors at the church prayed with demonstrators and handed out water bottles.

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott asked supervisors Tuesday to keep an overnight curfew order for at least the “next few days” to get ahead of people bent on using peaceful protests to pilfer stores and commit violence. Mayor London Breed ordered the 8 p.m. curfew Sunday following a night of thefts downtown, including at a major shopping mall where several fires were set.

Bring out the National guard or we'll deal with these criminals. 250,000,000 armed American citizens are ready to take this into our hands because it's our Country.

Send them to federal prison for being anti American

Guess they got thier funding after all.

That’s cute but I’m sure everyone have been released too. Incomplete paper & no evidence is the excuse for national releases so GO HAVE FUN EVERYONE. It won’t hurt your future.

That way the dirty cops make money, by arresting people, thus paying themselves, corrupt DA's, corrupt Judges, corrupt prison guards, & all their corrupt staff. It is a criminal enterprise under guise of law & order & justice. This is what the USA is. Fact.

And most of them were released.

3/4 of the cops that killed him haven’t

Oh damn 9,300 in 7 days must be a pandemic let's all panic and stay inside. Remember Covid-19 I miss the old days.

The number of police killings in the US disproportionately affects African Americans. Despite only making up 13 percent of the US population, Black Americans are two-and-a-half times as likely as white Americans to be killed by the police.

Trump says he won't stop until he has arrested 1 person for every covid-19 death🏴‍☠️⚖️⚰️

Trucks cannot get into the city, people will start to starve. You people of the press are the accomplice.

In Memphis they kidnapped a puppy from a rescue then murdered it. These ‘protesters’ can burn in Hell. IvankaTrump MarkDice

Rioters

Why would you show PEACEFULl PROTESTERS under this HEADLINE! They are not the ones being arrested for VIOLENCE. SHAME ON YOU!! You just lost yet another reader.

A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS UNFOLDING IN AMERICA

Most people accept the existence and reality of Handcuffs unquestioningly: their purpose is taking away a Basic Freedom /(and often are the preliminary to indefinite incarceration)

BoogTweets Pathetic start. I hope we’re a 4th quarter team.

Riots & looting is not protest.

Blacks gonna black 🤷‍♂️

The police should be steeping on their heads while they are down.

Various organizations are contributing to the legal defense of those who participated in the violent acts over the past week. Hopefully, those who actually vote will remember who supported the people who chose destruction over peaceful assembly and vote thoughtfully.

Have you ever been convicted of a crime? ✅ ✌️future jobs

Outlaw all choke holds, change the training and type of officers that are hired. Body cameras must be on. Make all complaints against a policeman public. 3rd parties investigate police brutality. BlackLivesMattter GeorgeFloyd ICantBreathe CNN MSNBC

Chanting for change is not good enough. Demand specific changes in the law!

Boring. Can we move on to the swamp draining?

RightlyNews should be 10 times that

GeorgeFloyd's death and racism are at the center of global spiritual concern.

And more Black people have been killed by leftist protesters in 2020 than by police.

OK BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO CORONA THO LIKE WHAT?

9300 PEOPLE NONE OF THE 3 COPS THAT ASSISTED IN THE MURDER OF GeorgeFloyd HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. WHY? NoJusticeNoPeace GeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter

And AMERICA Supposed to be The LAND OF THE FREE 😔 A BITCH CAN'T EVEN SPEAK THEIR DAMN MIND WITHOUT GETTING ARRESTED. I've seen it with my own eyes so I know for a fact most of these ppl.Are in jail for exercising their rights. There's no FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR THEY'D ALL BE FREE!

SethAbramson How long before the private prisons come to hold these people?

Arrest everyone else except the 4 murdering cops who lynched George Floyd. America is FUBAR.

SethAbramson And at least three of them weren’t cops.

SethAbramson Check my math 🤔 but that’s almost 1/10th of the amount of people who’ve died from Covid. So all total - that’s a lotta fucking real and good people potus has killed and fucked with.

The government wants looting and vandalism, that way they can justify martial law

SethAbramson YET....they still haven't arrested Breonna Taylor's killer cops or the three other officers who abetted George Lloyd's murder. No justice. No peace.

All because they refuse to arrest a 'few' Bad Apples.

The Associated Press, which feeds Legacy Media, is viral this morning trying to convince news consumers that “KKK-Style White-Supremacist” bug-a-boos are behind these violent riots and misdirect away from massive evidence that Democrat-Antifa Anarchists are the actual bad actors.

9,300 people arrested for protesting? How many for rioting?

eggslivesmatter

Would rather arrest 9,000 people than 3 cops.

Does this include all the people detained in buses for hours and then released without charges

Arresting protestors is the exact opposite of the appropriate solution, which is obviously arresting the other cops in Floyd's case and legislating against police misconduct.

natalieweiner TrumpvsAmerica

We will be grimly aware of the inequities when the charges for those who were arrested are announced. Those without money will receive much more severe sentences than the ones who are backed by funding for expensive attorneys. Families or an organization will get charges reduced.

No one is arrested for protesting. They are arrested for specific crimes. 9,300 people have been arrested for crimes during the protests. Facts matter

Publish the face, name and place of employment of these people.

liamstack 3 of the 4 officers who murdered George Floyd still haven’t been arrested. Cops would rather terrorize and brutalize thousands of innocent citizens to avoid holding some of their own accountable.

And they still wont arrest 3 of their own

JonLemire The bails bondsmen of the country who have fought, tooth & nail to block changes that will reduce the amount of people sitting in jails bc they cannot afford the ridiculous amounts of bail, must be in their glory.

Hard at Work ..? tally US Police arrested at least 9,300 people in protests since police killing of George Floyd

JonLemire The right to freedom of peaceful assembly is an inherent element of democracies. The Government should respond to legitimate grievances of the American people. Dissent must be tolerated and not restrained with excessive force which can lead to loss of life.

ANTIFA thugs were arrested

RiotsArentProtests Lock Them Up LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

With millions protesting and others looting and rioting it seems like a low number.

How about DavidDorn killed by rioters? Do you care about the death of this innocent man, politic 'correct' AP?

many protesters murdered already. we need detailed report!

mizdonna Hey look new speed bumps. They go squish under my big rig tires.

But still won’t arrest the other 3 police officers that participated in the murder of Floyd? Smh.

Where they place all these people?

Police are trashing their reputation. This whole situation started bc this entire country is beyond sick of police brutality. Goon cops can lock people up but there's no way in Hell to stop us until other 3 goons are charged/police training &systemic changes

Not enough

You the news have manufactured this attack on the economy.

Yeah, that will happen when people riot, loot, vandalize, burn, beat and kill for 5 days straight.

I'm investing in zip ties!

Crazy

As a nation on this planet, we are middle age. Yet we act like juveniles to each other based on pigment. Some people will say not so. I say really? In general, who is in control and who is not. Just look and see for your self.

9300 people arrested while 3 murdering officers remain free!! The idiocy and hypocrisy is astounding and disgusting AF!!

Policia Line up on the wall Policia Caged animals Policia Kill and lie some more Policia Conspiracy to cage the poor ReformPolice

Это важный для меня пост

But not the other officers who stood there while he died.

Protesters?

Because of police rioting

Rioters, protesters, or just old ladies trying to cross the street?

Why not the daily death tally like we got with Corona?

They are not protesters there thugs! More fakenews

And how many people (civilian and law enforcement) have been killed as a direct result of the protests nationwide? Might be worth looking into....

When all they had to do was arrest 4!🙄🇺🇸

mizdonna Needs to be higher.

mizdonna Rioters, not peaceful protesters.

All because Minny could not arrest three more murdering cops

Where in N-Korea? Ops! No in the US for a protest demonstration.. police brutality-ies! Hope the beacon of liberty won’t lecture others about civil rights!!!

All they had to do was arrest 4 people, but it's too late now

Isn't that more than the HK police arrested in an entire year?

It would be very interesting to see the racial demographic of the ones got detained. The media can only show the audience so much.

Rioters

We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We must stop Trump using military against civilians in US and the world!

Black lives matter!! All lives matter!!

*riots

And 8,297 of them have been released on $0 bail and told to return to court in a couple of months because we all know that will happen.

a bunch of rich white kids using blacks as an excuse.

A lot of paper work and a waste of time.

BlackLivesMatter

Bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No, 'arrested involved in criminal acts during protests', would be more proper and appropriate for an actual 'news' organization.

They could arrest 3 cops, but Trump wants the coronavirus to kill more Americans

planned facism failing

Good, and put the looters into prison

10m law breakers, low nunbers

Well most of those were rioters/looters. Obviously some were protesters and were lead in by mob mentality.

Bail resources:

*in riots CorporateMedia supports DomesticTerrorism

Only Democrats are woke enough to burn their own cities down.

And they are yet to arrest the other disgraceful 3 ex-cops that were part of GeorgeFloyd’s murder! Easier to arrest 9,300 people than 3 of their own PoliceBrutality

NOT ENOUGH

9300 people arrested since the rioting started.

That's all?

WINNING

All because they refuse to arrest 4 cops for murder

Only 🤔 many more to go...

Does that figure include the cop ?

Arrested for using their right too assemble.

And still 3 officers involved in his murder walking free...smh 🙄

And yet they couldnt arrest 3 officers lol This is why I dont feel bad for the US. Play stupid games, win fiery prizes.

Every time you see a video or picture of people being brutally beaten or killed in these riots. Remember these celebrities encourage violence by offering to pay $millions to anyone arrested. SteveCarell JanelleMonae CynthiaNixon Sethrogen jtimberlake chrissyteigen

How many of the 9,300 have the police killed while in custody?

An tally shows at least 9,300 people have been arrested in riots and hate crimes against whites since the police killing of George Floyd. Fixed it

How about a riot arrest dashboard like the virus dashboards?

BorisJohnson WARNED CHINA to step back from the brink over the national security law in HongKong

But not the other 3 cops, nice.

Because marching in the streets, arm in arm, is always a wonderful idea when we're supposed to stay at least six feet apart to not die.

100,000 too few

93004

George Floyd had ‘violent criminal history’: Minneapolis police union chief

What a shame. Police should be arrested

And yet the other 3 cops still haven’t been arrested. Very telling.
