If it helps in reconciliation and uniting a nation....

Ok, what do you want more by the police to do? Now all go back to work

Thank you officers for showing you are human. I am a strong supporter of law enforcement. A few bad officers does not make all officers bad. Please stay safe.

Trump hates this. Let's hope all the police do the same.

They should be fired. maga trumptrain2020 pantsupdontloot

That's adorable. Now post the heartwarming images of them gassing and beating the shit out of the same people as soon as the cameras turned off...oh, wait...

идиоты ((((((

Stop with cop propaganda. ACAB.

Democrats rioting, looting, trashing Democrat run cities. Seems the Democrats have a big problem with their base. Not the first sideshow.

The mass media's war on police hurts the average person

Yeah 'grief'… in the form of a ReparationsForty

Every business owner has the right to bear arms and protect your business from terrorist and alike

It’s good to confuse people and thereby divide and rule policy can be implemented.

When will the news media set up a national forum with our leaders who will sit, from both parties, and work out solutions and strategies for the pandemic, the depression, black lives, peaceful protests and violent looters? The nation needs unity. The media only shows the horror.

No, they’re one and the same. The walk with one minute and brutalize the next.

How many of those departments, after getting in their good publicity, turned around and maced/tear gassed their supposed allied protesters? I'll save you the research: it was all of them. ALL OF THEM.

Heavy handed? By putting out fires and stopping assaults by thrown bricks? cnnisantifa

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo paid his respects at a memorial for George Floyd, joining the crowds who came out to honor the slain man.

fake harted!

I guess the police should idly stand by while your CNN building gets destroyed. CNN you are partially to blame for all this.

Anybody still describing the weekend events as being the acts of protesters is simply lying. The actions seen on tv were by vandals, arsonists, thieves and anarchists. State the facts.

并不希望美国变成现在这样子,但愿人们都能平安🙏

Guys, you really don’t need to play nice anymore. “Accused”? They literally out there arrestin and shootin at y’all unprovoked with the protesters. It’s ok to praise some and shame others. resist protests2020

There's a huge difference between crowd control and riot control. Peaceful protest = crowd control Riots = riot control The situation becomes tense when someone within a peaceful protest repeatedly resists or ignores a reasonable request from police. One bad apple as they say!

This is what a democrat America would look like...

Stop the riots now. Anyone seen being violent needs to be shot. Shoot some arrest some and this shit will stop

'Law in Order' is not subject to political correctness. When the stupidity of the Media, uses words like 'heavy handed' they are trying to normalize abhorrent behavior. Burning and Looting must not be allowed. Designate the organizers as Domestic Terrorists and prosecute now.

heavy handed?! Brutal is a more definitive word

CNN sucks

MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

that's great to see

Bring on the black panthers
