  1. There r more than just one person that died. Someone died in another building that they lit on fire

    1. Garrett May there needs to be consequences for looting but shooting them would be too far

    2. @Ghassan AL Hammami Or just burning in general since you idiots have nothing better to do but take out your rage onto the community with your “peaceful protests”.

    1. Nope, i think he put his hand in his pocket in order to put more pressure on that mans neck.

    2. Sanjay Mayani I live in Minnesota what’s absolutely insane is that the murderer cause that’s what he is people need to stop say officer and cop cause he is a murderer has had his address leaked online and his house and block is protected by police and he has not been charged and is free it’s disgusting

    3. What’s disgusting is everyone trying to be judge, jury, and executioner with all this. Yes I have seen all the videos and the cop definitely shouldn’t have had his knee on Floyd’s neck while he was cuffed. The cop should have a trial and with what I have seen he is guilty, and once that has happened and only then will I call this individual a murderer. With that being said we have no idea what all happened, all we know is what the media has showed us, and I don’t care what anyone thinks the media lies to us. They show us what they want us to see to create chaos, and they have succeeded. Why does anyone think that burning down there own city is going to fix anything?? This is the reason cops have become more violent, because everyone else has become more violent. I personally know a cop, and he is a very respectable man. He has told me that his one goal everyday he goes to work is to do his job to the best of his ability, and make it home to his wife and his kids. He has also told me that he will try to detain someone before he has to take that individuals life. If he has to he even said he would grab someone by the balls and pull until they come off before he draws his weapon, so not all cops go to work each day out for blood. They are here to protect us and if weren’t for the men and women that go to work and risk not going home to their families each day, we would see a lot more burning buildings every day and so much more crime in this country that we live in.

    1. @stink 707 your fine with the cops murdering people and getting away you people are very selective with which violence is ok. Maybe if the cops didn’t have this pattern, they wouldn’t be under this threat they need to be scared to do these things. I for one want the police scared of the populous not the other way around.

  2. Folks dont forget: HE CRIED FOR HIS MOTHER ! I was soooooo extremly sad about this. THAT BROKE MY HEART REALLY

    1. @ImJust Easy it wasn’t a bad check. it was a 20 doller bill in question…and by the way the 2o doller bill turn out to be real.

    2. Tommy Thompson we speak in the language that the oppressor understands… thats how you get justice

    1. And what of the average person working at these busineses people who are only trying to get by i dont see how this helps.

    2. @Kenzie Ritger It’s not even “THE police”, it’s a police officer, the other police-involved didn’t even do anything out of ordinary. The one cop who killed him should have put his knee on his shoulder since they were trying to get him contained. At most those 3 cops should be responsible, not every goddamn police officer.

  3. this is my state this happening just miles away from where i stay this its scary to hear guns shots and bright lights coming from out your window this is out of control

    1. @Brandon Parlee because it’s horrible, it’s a riot. People are dying due to this protest. Entire stores have been destroyed and burnt down. Of course, we would disagree with that.

    2. @O_ bsession this is Indians.. Yo imagine they wouldce all came here and didnt do all that bogus sit they did???? And non of this was goin on.. N we was just all able to smoke bud n eat shrimp rolls in peace n go back to being able to sit in the damn sushi restaurant!!!! In peace damn it!!!

  4. When I was a kid my father used to quote a writer that said “it’s the same thing happening to different people”.. now I’m old enough to know what it means…sad

  5. bruh, i’m like |—>| this close to becoming an astronaut and moving to mars so i don’t ever have to come back.

    1. Wendell Beverly old enough to know what should and shouldn’t be said because it will offend people ✨•👄•✨

    2. Amy Covers No, most fairytales are old European stories (many are German and most are older than 1800s) passed down through the generations, during a time when you rarely if ever came in contact with someone of a different race.

    1. It might be even worse…Rodney at least was still alive…but George….this is gonna be worse than what happened in LA

    1. Minneapolis is just one of many Weimerican imperial cities that is being sacked Visigoth style… Ain’t Balkanization FUN??

  6. funny how CNN sent a black reporter instead of a white one. LLOOLLL I applaud them. Justice must be served.

  7. how to deal with a death
    Protester: uhhh there might be people in the building we’re going to burn
    Other protester: screw it kill em all if you have too

    1. @all4onw42 they could have done it peacefully without violence, trust me I think the cop was in the wrong and I want something done about it but I wont hurt businesses that had nothing to do with it, costing people their jobs and livelihoods for this, this whole protest about 1 man dieing caused another protester to be shot and killed, there is no excuse for that
