As demonstrations and protests around the country spark following the murder of George Floyd, many are critiquing Trump’s response to the national call for justice. In this special report, MSNBC’s Ari Melber analyzes how the call for justice is embedded in America’s history, what many deem an “endless” fight for criminal justice and police reform. Melber reports on how citizens, elected officials, artists and activists from President George H. Bush to Tupac have been addressing issues of race in America. Melber shows footage from an interview, where Tupac discusses the Rodney King beating, saying Rodney was “still fighting for Rodney King still fighting for his and they got it on tape,” drawing similarities in the George Floyd case. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 6/4/2020.

Facing Historic Protests, Trump Fails Standard Set By Obama, LBJ, Bush And Tupac | MSNBC

#bunkerboyhides
😁😁😁😆
Why are we paying pensions to #bullieswithbadges
I hope they all get snuffed out in prison awaiting trial.. It’s the only justice they will get.
Wow that prison that you live has free wifi
Lived like a thug and died like a thug.😂😂😂
To pock died at the hands of another black man
@Johnny Says Nice fake Youtube profile.
Trump never misses an opportunity to throw kerosene on his own Dumpster fire. Hang in there America Trumps going to get a lot more chaotic and divisive before this is over.
@Eddy Hanson Playing clips and analyzing what is happening is definitely holding the flame – obviously it’s not the people actually doing it. We’ve all lied to ourselves on occasion but the delusion right now is incredible.

Bono Budju I don’t know how long this country can hold on.

@Yourlife Endsnow WTF make some sense son.

Police and Justice Reform.
Demilitarise your Police and stopallowing your Police to treat Americans like they’re guilty. The Police should not be above the law
Stop treating AMERICANS like that…
The police should be the law so when they break it they need to get punished.
Yes 👍
I went back and listened to Tupac”s Changes last night. Hopefully, now they will start to happen.
Sending love from Australia.
Only God Can Judge Me – 2Pac
That’s one of the greatest songs ever imo
I too have been going back to Tupac
Well done. Powerful truth to power. Shared to facebook
“Violence is the language of the unheard” MLK, Jr. Tupac is saying the same thing. RIP Tupac.
RIP King
Only Tupac said it worser.
@T R MLK and Tupac were #ADOS
Entity called Tupac is dead?
If trump is not removed,
it will be Democracy saying: ” I Can’t Breathe! “
In America.
God, you are so right! He’s chipping away at Democracy every day, and people just don’t realize it. Believe in a free press and join the ACLU.
How so if he is voted back in?
Trump is Greed! Devil”s CHAIN…..HE CAN BE MOVED. VOTE
Amen🙏🙏🙏 And he WILL BE BY THE GRACE OF GOD!!
Bunker Baby must Go!
Tupac 😥😥😥 miss him the world needs his voice right now. Shout out to him for the Tupac reference.
Tupac ain’t dead
I love Tupac they got it on tape he said
Yea for real, he would probably connect more to the youth than rap artist today
Your so right Tupac ‘ s voice needs to be heard at this time #Facts Tupac if your watching this now is the time #Facts big shout out to Mel for quoteing the G.O.A.T Lol
He’s coming 7
Looked like the first time he’s ever held a book in his hands
Cullen he swore his oath of office holding his autobiography which is full of lies. He preferred his book to a bible. So yes it’s probably the first time he’s held the bible
It was probably burning him as he held it
Illiterates usually don’t have books
he had no idea what it Wass.. his was staring at it like he stared at his rent a wife anchor baby the day it came out.
Trump speaks with a 5th grade vocabulary and struggles with subjects the rest of us find as ‘common knowledge’. Trump is what you get when you purchase an education, instead of earning one. So yes, it’s very unlikely Trump has ever held a book.
One man’s cry of ‘Can’t breathe” brought all of together so that ‘we will breathe’ much easier regardless of color, creed, race, religion after Nov. 2020. Drain the swamp, clean up the stench, Please vote.
Ok
Don’t hold your breath about 2020 I wouldn’t count on any change
@Kevin McNeil If enough people stay home, I guarantee you there will not be change. Please Vote.
yeah but we still at the same space years after Rodney
its got to end. this is not ok.
OAKLAND police officers did that to Pac, not LAPD
All the same racist pigs
Pac did say the Oakland PD. I heard him when he was asked by the black lady interviewer.
@Diva AH Real talk.. I wrote my statement before Pac spoke 😏
So what’s the difference?
I’m just thankful we Ari to keep it real¡👮🙈🙉🙊💀 #TheBeat #Tupac #Legend #JusticeForFloyd #StaySafe #KapItOff #DumpTrump2020
LET ME SAY THIS TUPAC WOULD NEVER STAND WITH TRUMP THAT A INSULT FR
Sorry, I am not from America can anyone translate for me what does it mean? Tupac insulted Trump in France?
He was a phony who cares
No more than Lebron James would.
True. Tupac was more like Malcolm X than MLK Jr.
Tupac Shakur murdered by black thugs. No marches. No rioting. It only counts if the police did it.
Ahhhh….But he is working on the standard set by Hitler!
Palatka, Florida “I CAN’T BREATHE” GEORGE FLOYD.
Decades later and I still miss Tupac. On the day of his death a news reporter said ” This event would change rap music forever ” oh how right she was and it wasn’t for the best.
