The only explanation is that Trump has a small gentleman's vegetable

need to be fair here some protestors are acting disgracefully aswell attacking officers, the majority however are not.
Some police are acting disgracefully, others are not.

Also is there any numbers out there for how many are protesting, i think a large % of america have still confined themselves to their homes, i supect theyll have the voting power numbers wise

I can totally understand the actions of the protestors. Listening to Trevor Noah give reasons why it comes to this was something I found incredibly interesting.

I highly recommend everyone read (or reread) 1984...

I dont understand attacking police and looting businesses and attacking owners who try to stop it.

The rest are fine though.

Maybe bringing in the army would be good as nobody seems to like the police? The army likely holds more respect and would be less likely to want to attack their own familes. Just a thought

You can totally understand the protesters need to act with violence and loot? The officer involved has been charged with murder, surely the right thing to do would be to carry out peaceful protests, as opposed to acting with the same mindset as the murderous officer?

IMO, the vast majority are just using it as an excuse to be violent themselves.

Trevor spoke about it so eloquently

The Land of the free?
Freedom of speech?

Doesn’t look like it with all curfews etc going on.

It’s just incredible how badly things are being handled imo.

Peaceful protesters protesting against police brutality ( and my God wasn’t it brutal the way they murdered him? ) get tear gassed, beaten and shot with rubber bullets so their president can go for a photo at a church.

Insane, and I don’t see how anyone can condone it.

Terminator, I recommend listening to Trevor Noah talk about it. As Christopher above says, he talks about it so eloquently.

Violence and looting is at the core of his opinion, and puts it into perspective - why it happens, even why it needs to happen.

Trump holding up the bible in front of the church was pure manipulation. That guy is incredulous. And very very dangerous

The “vast majority” ? Really????
Most of them looked peaceful, many on one knee, more with their Hands up.

What’s wrong with your eyes?

Hes probably found videos of the violet protesters, ive seen quite a few doing the rounds of facebook.
Though overall the majority are peaceful, if a few people throw something though the police start going at everybody

I think he means the vast majority who contributed in the smashing up and looting of businesses, are using it as an excuse, rather than the vast majority of protesters.

Practically the curfews make sense, as I’m not sure thousands gathered together is the best idea at this current moment. I know that’s not the reasoning behind it, but common sense suggests it’s the only real option.

Truth is, this isn’t just about racism. It’s people finally having enough of Trump, and just waiting for the trigger.

It’s relevant to both Trumps USA and Johnson’s UK, should be mandatory reading!

I disagree Terminator.

It is all about racism.

"Why the hell did the death of George Floyd, and so many black Americans before him, happen?"

"he is a victim of power hungry and systematic racist policemen who are literally treading on the rights of the black American population."

“If the state governors can’t put an end to the trouble, I’ll send in the US military and put an end to it quickly”

There you go

Stay safe, Thanks for that.

Your comment comes across as a smart ass cheap shot.

No need

Oh I dunno
Women are like gardens they need a good digging every now and again
Before the comment police get their silkys in a twist I’m having a laugh and do not agree with violence against women
