    All caused by the police. The protest was peaceful till they pushed up and moved them back forcefully.

    If the president going to be out in the open a potentially hostile crowd must be moved back. Standard enough.

    Remember when the queen came to visit how much of the street was cordoned off. Well like that only there is a riot going on.

    That's not protesting. That's hooliganism just like football hooliganism. It's being incited by 'BNN' News Channel.

    Louisville will burn tonight and you won’t hear one bad word out of me about it. Sue me.

    Sad. Wonder would you say a word if your mother head her place burned to the ground or was viciously assaulted trying to protect it.

    Yup that's what it looks like. Don't know why they didn't at least wait until the President had made his statement?

    Too much talk about force. Not enough about the murder.

    Gone down the wrong road again

    Funny how he talks about innocent blood being spilled, and lengthy jail sentences handed out. Thats kind of the whole point of the protest donald you script reading clown.



    Also props on standing up for the deranged lunatic with the sword who tried to attack protestors.

    Everyone knew the Trump presidency would be a disaster but I thought it would be in more an incompetent type of way (which it is). And here we are with the President of the United States mobilising the military against his own citizens. Unbelievable.

    If they arrest and charge the other 3 cops, this ends fast, it's all the Floyd family wants.

    Hmm.
    National Guard and US Military being deployed.
    If cities and states don't immediately stop riots, he says military will.

    i don't think he did enough to seperate those with underhand aims from those black protestors with a totally legitimate aim.

    Instead of idiots marching during a pandemic why don't people boycott American goods and companies ..companies like Mc Donalds ...google etc. Stop buying anything American.

    You think people in the US care if there is a march in Ireland?

    That's kinda what you need when you have 30+ cities on fire for the last 4 nights and absolute anarchy and lawlessness on the streets.
