FUCK THE POLICE

Big babies have to vandalize their OWN city to feel more gooder. Just pathetic. How about a nice quiet candle memorial?

They say cops are using excessive force...bullets,gas ...and etc.

julito77 an example of the wrong approach by the media, this what you were talking about in your thread earlier!

Nice way to minimize the reason behind the protest.... bums

why is racial hate tolerated or encouraged behind closed doors in the police departments? GeorgeFloydWasMurdered This is where the problem is.

NOoooo. Really?

but systematic killings of minorities aren't. Gotcha.

LA is so poorly run. Thankful I live south of there!

Wrong headline!!!!

Are you serious with this trash headline? More Like: “Angelenos organize protest over George Floyd’s MURDER at the hands of MN police. Continuous police violence against unarmed Black people sparks justifiable outrage and concern from protesters.”

Thank you LA from MPLS. This bullshit has got to end. Enough is enough. End Police brutality.

Just another reason to get out of CA. Thanks, Democrats!

You mean LA Riots? Ftfy

Most of them dont even know the gentleman's name. High profile idiots cause this to happen. What happened in Chicago last weekend when several people were shot and killed?

Because property damage is the real takeaway in all this, right?! Shift your narrative. Be responsible with your reporting.

Dirty cops deserve every bad thing that happens to them. Innocent people don’t deserve having their lives shattered by looting and violence.

Peaceful protesting never solved anything, that said, this was protesting but utter mayhem. If the people want to make an impact, they better get themselves organized and mobile.

Lock them all up.

Really? Reform law enforcement and the justice system, then. Crush Cop Culture.

Turning L.A. & Minnesota into a 3rd world country won't help anyone. Just go ask any 3rd world country. NoDeath NoViolence PeacefulProtestForFloyd

arson looting and assaults*

maybe you should investigate the deaths that are pushed on a desk and thrown into the shredder at the police station instead of covering a story that the police are concerned about a riot. Do your job the right way

I dislike rioters and thiefs even more than crooked cops.

The police are the ones that concern me, killing its citizens with impunity

There's another reason racism will never end.

No shit, forreal?

they're not showing concerns. showing concern would be taking care of these people. they're fucking cowards, they're scared

Perhaps police can stop killing folks? How about giving that a try?

LAPD murders innocent people, they should be concerned.

That's the only way to be heard. This will stop the day they stop killing people just for their skin color
