"Violence never works, how many protests have we had? How many nights have we gone through like last night? How many times have we burned down our own businesses, our own neighborhoods, and our own communities. Burning down your own house never works and never makes sense," says New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. "It dishonors Mr. Floyd's death. Mr. Floyd was not violent. Mr. Floyd was compliant."
"When you are violent it creates a scapegoat to shift the blame. It allows the president of the United States to tweet about looting rather than about murder by a police officer.

Cuomo: Violent Protests Allow Trump 'To Tweet About Looting Rather Than Murder By A Police Officer'
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
Unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin’ changes
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers ~Tupac~
The legend spoke!!!!
Look where it got him!
@JBL NYC Stay safe. Make sure you watch your hands and mouth. 😂
God I wish this man was running for President!
You and all the sane people my friend
He killed the most people in 2020 so far.
Agree ! that is the only men who may bring back whats lost . hope something will change and he go for it !
everyone in their right mind can make this simple evaluation
Uwe Winkler just killed people in nursing home.no Thank you

Smh
“WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY REALLY ARE, BELIEVE THEM THE FIRST TIME”
pria wilson …..she sure did. Beloved.
Richard Wolfe, a line from my book “CHOSEN” ‘When people show you their true color, dameit go ahead and paint yourself a picture because what you see, is what it is’ God bless.
Cuomo, the guy who murdered how many older people by forcing nursing homes to accept covid patients and he thinks he has a voice in reference to these protests ?
@William H Music 2020 This is the man USA needs for president.
@BKking6 I don’t understand the reason for your question, most elderly and nursing homes are not charities. So, what are you trying to say?
Elect a clown, you get a circus.
@Opira Cast every large city is run by a Democrat
Sounds like the Obama and Biden Administration.
@Troy Stocker Yes, you are right.. and is a recognition that those elected are great statesmen and can handle big issues.. Well, not all elected are statesmen, because it happens that there is one person elected CAN’T handle the nowdays greatest country in the world.. its not surprising because “He who is unrighteous in a little thing is unrighteous also in much” such as his more than 5 businesses that went bankrupt in a VERY SHORT time 🤣
Elect Pennywise, you get a horror movie
@johnny none of them care about you you all are blind we the people need to stand up and vote our own means and measures not let people like sleepy Joe or trumpanator ruin us any more
Bless this man’s words. Unite not divide.
‘
The only people that are divided are racists. Peaceful protest never work and the last 80+ years are proof of that. Attacking there money does and American history is proof of that.
“How a society treats its most vulnerable is always the measure of its humanity.”
Statement by Ambassador Matthew Rycroft of the UK Mission to the UN at the Security Council Open Debate on Children and Armed Conflict
Difficult, it’s already imprint into the DNA centuries ago
Unfortunately this reminds me of the 60s
Me too. 60 years , yet no progress in this “land of the free ” .
Bot
except for the big German shepherds attacking people and cops beating the crap out of people with their batons.
@Ro Ni “How a society treats its most vulnerable is always the measure of its humanity.”
Statement by Ambassador Matthew Rycroft of the UK Mission to the UN at the Security Council Open Debate on Children and Armed Conflict
Yes but peaceful protests like sit-ins were more effective and respectful!! a sit-in on wall Street would be more effective and respectful than acting like thugs and damaging people’s property that may be sympathetic to ones cause or is not even party to ones opposition!!
You want change? Kick him out this November.
Glenn Soriano will do
You must also remove his enablers or nothing will change.
Remember, when Mr.Floyd’s tragic death went viral, along with mayor of Minneapolis requested
the cop who killed him be detained, Trump was silent.
His first message after this tragedy wasn’t comforting Mr. Floyd’s family, nor was there any
promise to bringing down these criminals.
His focus was on protestors, the “thugs” and “looting” and “shooting.”
Oh Boy he didn’t react he said it was a hoax .. so stop spitting that mayonnaise on that hot u call Trump he’s a failure as a president and as a leader
@J Li you nailed it.
Maurice Howard he never said it was a hoax. Go back and listen to what he said and try to comprehend what was said
Maurice Howard no he didn’t. I’ll help you out, read the link and try to comprehend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-remark/
Oh Boy yes he did so did Fox News now the problem is that you remain optimistic about the worlds greatest con artist so u can keep hoping for something good but it’s never gonna happen the only thing he cares about is money and being re-elected .
Wow what an orator. The more I see and hear this man the more I respect him.
You are lying, and your thoughts are fake. It’s obvious, so go sit downstairs and whimper frantically with your Vodka solutions.
Christopher Williams sounds more like you’re the one sitting alone in the basement with a vodka drink. Lol
Christopher Williams
No, even if you disagree with his political views you can still agree that he is a well spoken person.
@Karin Baca Thats funny, I’m choking on my beer. oh no…I can’t breathe Karin!…I cant breathe!
That’s how cult leaders work…
Thank you Gov Cuomo!!–
For speaking with compassion for all.–
Things feel so sad and hopeless, unbearable to me.
“we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard.” Martin Luther King
J Bellamy
Again, “riot is the language of the unheard”
That’s not an excuse, just a fact.
J Bellamy and after Martin Luther King was killed it took a riot for civil right laws to change. After Rodney King a riot to show we would not just stand by. I was spot ion with Mr King “Quote.
yes a sustained, disciplined and PEACEFUL demonstration, use to great effect by Gandhi in India and Mandela in South Africa, NOT a brainless, self serving / looting RIOT! You want to make progress, you need to remain diligent and focused, not just causing rampage like the savage they already think you are! You wonder WHY the civil right movement has stalled after King’s death, it is because most of the leaders are bomb throwers like Malcolm X, Al Sharpton, R Jackson, no one is going to listening to a freaking burning Riot and agree with you even if your complaint is 100% justified! The movement need someone who is not in it for the glory but willing to work in silence for the greater good. If he or she step forward, ppl would follow that person vs all the clowns on TV building their own brands right now
Wrong Martin Luther King was weak from the uk
MLK also stated in that same speech “What is it that America has failed to hear?”
What ever happened to ‘be best’…….🤦🏻♂️
Great speech. Every word he speaks make a lot of sense.
Thats all he does is talk
I’m from Ireland but the Man tells it as it is if he makes a mistake he comes out and says I made a mistake he doesn’t pass the buck like golf course trump
@Tony Babineau bet they didn’t spend 134 million of your tax dollars deluded
@Frank L obviously not Frank the world are laughing at you
@Sean Mcwilliams surely, you know this news regatding cuomo or are you that oblivious to life ?
@Jeff Woods well if he’s that bad why isn’t he up for murder,oh wait that would mean the orange peado Zionist blimp would be up for murder also, get a life get a brain transplant
@Sean Mcwilliams dems have immunity in this country for any crime..Cuomo will not be charged but, for someone to make such a ridiculous decision and then have the audacity to point fingers at the President is beyond hypocritical and dumb..Buy, you support dumb which, doesn’t say much about you..
“let’s not react, so that others can use it against us”, is said by someone that is empathically, yet Blissfully, ignorant to this structural treatment, and hasn’t personally gone through this ordeal his whole life either.
I Understand where Cuomo is coming from. I Understand the logics behind his words.
But when the system, time and time again Prove to fail its own People, when the system Breaks its Own end of the Golden Contract of Society, then Why should the people abide to the same contract? When the society does Not protect the people, Why should the people stay true to the society? That is the Core statement of the Contract of Society since 400 Years back!
I agree that riots and looting is Bad. I agree that violence is Very seldom the answer.
But when it is Enough, it Is Enough. And when the authorities does Not listen, neither to pleadings nor peaceful demonstrations, time and time again,… when they do not listen nor change, sometimes, reaction needs a different approach.
ITS HARD NOT TO LIKE THIS GUY
If you are a thickie I suppose
I don’t have any problems disliking him.
Cuomo, the guy who murdered how many older people by forcing nursing homes to accept covid patients and he thinks he has a voice in reference to these protests ?
Agree, it is very hard, but I overcame it.
Why would you try to hate him?
