Peaceful protests have been happening for 40 years and the media called it un american or didn't pay attention to it, I might still support peaceful protests but you gotta understand why they're so scared and angry
Continue protesting.. Why do you protest? For your own selfish motive to feel you have done something and have a goodnight sleep? No!! It's to get attention and you will get attention but with the violence, its only gonna be negative one.. Belive me for a tibetan refugee who has been caught, beaten and warned they will make me disappear if we didn't stop.. It's tough but we need to power on.. India won its freedom not from violence but an old man with a stick who refused to wear western cloth. So it's been successful before there is proof in history.. You just need be patient and wise
You're wrong. There absolutely HAS been progress, and my life and the lives of others like me are a testament to that. It's not all going to happen at once, but emotional people want instant gratification. Burn down your home, your schools, your grocery stores, your whole community - makes a lot of fucking sense!
Right, wrong or indifferent...riots only make white people fear and distrust blacks even more. This will accomplish nothing but more anger on all sides. This is an inconvenient and tough pill to swallow but be real with yourself.
You should actually listen to what is being said in a video, then think for a few seconds and then realise what the person is in fact saying. You got the mayor's words completely wrong.
Everything she said I agree 100% the Love I felt from her in her voice you can tell she was devastated with what happened to George Floyd then her city is a mess. She really really hurt and has the right to be she trying to keep us focused. What happened was not an free days to destroy someone living. This is the time we demand change we act like criminals giving them the opportunity to keep doing us like they have been from day 1. To all my Brothers and Sisters keep yal heads up no matter what I love yal.
Then you will have more of this nonsense - that u see It seems this is primarily happening in Democratic states I live in Arizona- everyone is just fine we goto work city is safe Law & Order The Democratic states have Looney trigered people and politicians so they are a lazy group - they cant even take responsibility for their own actions- looking at who to blame- (start with yourself fool)
"....by any means necessary. " when the president of the country doesn't respond to the peaceful protest of one person taking a knee.... Well, I guess he likes the smell of smoke.
@vilan sun I can see buildings related to the police being burned. I have a problem with these rioters when they start destroying property and livelihoods that are not even connected to the police or the corrupt government system
Yeah but you can't speak against it. You get pointed at more than the guy who had his knee to the man's neck! But we shall overcome??? Yeah, ok. We are.
MLK was the driving force behind the Civil rights act of 1964. He made clear demands, was organized, non-violent, persistent and negotiated with political officials to make real changes. What change has burning buildings created?
I don't agree with the looting. But, as much as I'd love for things to be peaceful, rarely does peacefulness get the attention of the people in power to affect change.
SHE IS A PRODUCT OF THE WILLIE LYNCH LETTERS -- SHE THINKS BY LIVING WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF MASTER -- THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR SONS SAFE -- SHE ISN'T SAYING SHE CARES ABOUT OTHERS THAT DO NOT LIVE UNDER THE PERCEIVED SECURITY SHE HAS BY BEING A MAYOR --- OTHER MOTHERS CAN'T PROVIDE THAT SECURITY -- OTHER MOTHERS ARE LEFT TO THE FORCES OF THE COPS -- THAT FREELY ROAM THE BLACK COMMUNITIES TO USE THEM TO VENT OR MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL AS GODS.
We had over 40 years of MLK and the result was a cop’s knee to a black man’s neck and his eventual murder. The result was: Philando, Sandra, Oscar, Treyvon, Eric, Micheal, Terrence, Samuel, Freddie, Tamir, Walter, Alton, Jamar, Jeremy, Eric, Akai, and that’s not even scratching the surface. We’re having a Minister Malcolm “powder keg” moment right now.
Martin and Malcolm laid the foundation for us to continue on. It was set up for us. They both passed the baton to the next generation. That’s the job of the older generation is to make way for us then it’ll be our turn to set things up for those we will one day leave behind. It’s not about what will work. It’s about putting things in place for us to come along to finish the work. Martin and Malcolm created the door that we now get a chance to walk through. They passed it on for us to do it our way.
What are you talking about? A riot has followed just about every black man killed by the cops. The only difference here is the scope and scale. MAYBE the solution isn't to make your methods more drastic, but more appropriate? How the fuck is it 3 random officers in Baton Rogue and 5 random officers in Dallas are dead, but the cops who killed all those people you mentioned are still alive. Justice is the marriage of actions to consequences, a system where people who COMMIT THE CRIME suffer, not random innocents. No one is more against the idea of justice than these protestors.
well considering that not all of those names were people killed by cops or were, but weren't innocent victims, i'd say i doubt you're scratching the surface, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to come up with enough of a reason.
@@mhopps12 put it this way - until a few years ago in Washington State the requirement for convicting any police officer of homicide was that the prosecutor had to _prove_ to the jury, that he acted with _malice_ which requires proving what someone was thinking so unless they said "I'm going to kill that guy" and did it, he'd have gotten off. And on top of that, the prosecutor has to have a close working relationship with the police, so how motivated are they going to be to push that?
@Rose Nguyen all of those cops that stood over that man as the life was taken from him should be arrested. If anything they assisted in murder. They could have at any point said or done something to make it stop and they didn't
"This is not the legacy of civil rights" But the thing is people are reacting like this possibly because they feel the legacy of "civil rights" hasn't worked.
I disagree. MLK got a bunch of old white men to vote against their own self-interest TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION. Think about how profound that is. It takes a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives as well as 2/3 of the Governors across the entire nation to change the Constitution. MLK is rolling over in his grave. He laid the blueprint for acquiring real social change. It's a damn shame no one wants to pay attention.
Yea but they're burning down black businesses too how is that helping the community. I wish black people will wake up and realize this isnt gonna solve anything just ruin the community
Dont scare the investors away, unintended consequences could happen where local people will have travel farther for basic necessities, i travel all over usa and seen it with own eyes, especially st louis where i could not find a gas station for miles in certain run down hoods cause they all closed down, finally found one and ask the attendant lady what happened in this town, i swear to god she "all the white folks left" not kidding, first time i ever heard that before.
root She said, “We’re asking for peace, NOT patience.” She whole heartedly supports black rights. However, looting and blowing up cars plays right into the hands of those who don’t support civil rights, for they will try to perpetuate the lies about blacks and minorities being criminals. We require firm goals, organization and solidarity. Without them we become sporadic isolated spurts of anger that won’t do anything except potentially harm others and those who would have supported us.
She needs to be updated.....MLK's ways and tactics are not for 2020. She sounds like a mother reprimanding her children. Voting has nothing to do with whats's going on. Speak to the overall establishment as such and the police department in the same fashion. Glad she's not my mayor. She needs to be enlightened.
@@ClassyName my thoughts exactly. But i suppose i got what i asked for in my comment. Some people wont even truly listen to a democratic, black woman politician
“Riots are the language of the unheard.” I keep seeing this quote people are posting by MLK. Which makes a valid point. He understood why riots occur. BUT he’s not saying it’s okay, he’s simply coming from a place of understanding. MLK always stood for peace. Many people do not understand his message, it goes right over their heads. All this violence and chaos will continue to happen time and time again, over and over, until humanity learns it’s lesson, peace and love is the way. Violence is NOT the answer. All it does is continue the cycle of hurt and abuse. Break the cycle. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” MLK. He spoke the truth! People simply do not understand... you cannot fight fire with fire and expect the fire to go out. It will just continue to burn.
Loving a city only goes so far if the protectors of the city don't love you. All this vitriol should have been spewed at the murderers looong BEFORE it got this far. Buildings can be repaired. Lives can't be given back. That comes from a mother of 3 black humans in America.
skunkie110 Without the rioting MLK’s “peaceful message” wouldn’t work, the government knew they better listen to the diplomats and “fix” the problems before it impacted them personally. MLK was eventually killed so where’s the peace in that? You always expect black people ( the victim) to be the bigger person and forgive the violence they’re experiencing but not all people will surrender to violence without fighting for their lives. White people showed they can’t give any freedom and respect to black people unless they’re forced by laws or violence. It took a war to end slavery, en entire movement that led to death to end segregation and yet still the government never changed. It’s still oppressing black people and asking them to understand. Why don’t you stop killing and discriminating against black people. We can either live peacefully together as brothers and sisters or die as enemies.
sometimes your emotions drives spiritually.we not only at war physically black people wake tf up stop being submissive cowards. need that nat Turner and yes he was a educated black man who knew how to read and still used his common sense and emotion.Eye for eye duh that's the only way we did all that peaceful stuff already
Go ahead and use your brain. When you come up with a better solution then tell the rest of us about it...because obviously we are all dumb from expecting idiots up there to to the right things.
Miss Jay I do not think you understand what an eye for an eye means. Do you really think riots and destruction has helped the cause in ANY way?!? She’s 1000% right and the only thing this has done is fully overshadow the cause and disrespect Floyd’s (and SO many others) life and memory.
@@shannond7437 This isn't about Floyd. The fact that so many of you fail to understand this is the problem. This is about decades, centuries even of black peoples lives being constantly in danger. He was a match that lit the fuse but he was not the bomb.
The Wraith Do you think George Floyd printed the fake $20 bill? No but that is irrelevant just like his previous arrest record. Try holding your breath for nine minutes that's how long the officer had his knee on his neck and then get back to me...
That is a fact MLK said "perhaps I was wrong when I spoke of segregation what we do need is separation" shortly after speaking those words Hotel Lorraine
It’s just been institutionalized and disguised. It may not be as overt and open but it is an underlying systemic problem, but this isn’t entirely about racism so much as basic human rights and civil liberties. There are plenty of white people involved in the peaceful protests and riots as well.
This is definitely not a nightmare. Things can obviously get much better, but for African Americans this is the best TIME and place in the history of the world (with the possible exception of Mali under Mansa Musa). The future will belong to Asia, any clue on how blacks are treated in Asia? Russia? Will black lives matter in a world dominated by the Han Chinese? Get real!!! Things CAN and will likely get worse. Instead of burning your own homes and businesses now is the time to VOTE, build businesses, gain influence. Sure it's hard...as it was for all peoples who have been subjugated, but no one is coming to save you. You have to figure this out yourself. Here's a hint EDUCATION.....Burning your own city to the ground wont get you the respect you're looking for....Running the police department, the city, state, banks and businesses will.
Just like everything, unions need to updated and reformed. Unions are important, the good far outweighs the bad and tossing the baby out with the bathwater would be foolish. It is in the public's best interest that our public employees are well trained, paid and supported.

As a Black man l have been terribly mistreated and cheated. It happened in Pocatello, ldaho where l worked hard and had the respect of many Whites and the few Blacks that were there. I helped Whites who needed help. I was told l made significant improvements in the workforce. But 2 White men, for whom l did favors wretchedly turned on me over a minor disagreement and l lost my career. They felt it necessary to go to unwarranted extremes, and they publicly humiliated me. No Whites came to my aid. Something similar happened to me in Howard County, Maryland. Both times I went through the proper channels to remonstrate, but l still lost. My point is, non-violent protests have been demonstrated, but it seems America does not hear. It's the squeaking wheel that gets the oil. Joshua peacefully marched around Jericho for 7 days; after that he and his army aggressively went in and took the city. Peaceful tactics don't always work on this planet.
Yeah the problem with that quote and why it doesn't even apply is because nobody stopped you people from peaceful revolution. The trouble came when the 90% of you who don't even care about some drug dealer with a lengthy criminal record named George who got caught passing a fake 20 at a liquor store for booz and smokes started burning everything around them. Fukkin people need to stop looking at the reality that Democrats and the Media put in front of you and start looking at the reality in front of your face.
we? don’t say we, but your ancestors. don’t try to say we because it is actually disrespectful to the people who actually had to go through that stuff back then
One can be unheard, and foolish at the same time. Basically he's saying it's the language of the angry. Retaliation. Anger can be run off of irrational decisions. Toddlers with tantrums display similar behavior. Dr. King was a brilliant man. And he wasn't wrong about that. But there's deeper meaning to it.
They played mind games and people not affected fell for it, if people do not take action the cops will do worst and more, they killing us at home and killed Tamar rice so wtf the line is crossed over and over
Oh please. I doubt half the people even remember the guys name. Just ignorance. Same city, a black cop killed a white woman and it took 3 years to arrest him. No protestors for that tho. Twice as many white people have been killed by cops. But no no. One guy is killed, the cop is fired and arrested. Everyone was on their side. But no, we still need more justice! So now they riot and burn down their own cities, so everyone that was on their side, now hates them
Johnny Murillo nah your ignorant, most police killings are justified, if somebody looks like their going to try to pull a gun on you and kill you your going to shoot them. Police have seconds to react in these situations they aren’t gonna wait 5 minutes to see if he’s really reaching for a gun in a possibly life or death situation
j p twice as many white people are killed by police because theirs is twice as many of us my guy. You have to do the numbers per capita. And in doing so, being a black citizen in American, you’re 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police officer than a white citizen.

@none none burning down your own community and setting your own community back to square 1 isn't the answer. Go outside to your politician's home, their property and boycott, protest, do it , even if it takes weeks, months.. Doesn't matter until they do something. When they see the number outside of their own home, face to face... they know they need to change. Like Denzel Washington said, if you hang around the barber shop long enough, the sooner or later you're going to get a haircut.
Actually, that does not help, because those black chiefs and mayors feel shy to be call reverse-racists for standing up for black human rights. Just like Obama was shy to stand up.
@none none And like you mentioned, I don't believe that writing letters and calling is going to do anything. Show up in their property, in peace though. Politicians needed the visual image of human interaction and face to face. When they know, we no longer will stand for their bullcraps and if they don't, they will be replaced. Look at Mike Freeman, district attorney of Hennepin County in Minneapolis. There was a separate protesters, protesting outside his home with speakers and essays in tows. He knew he needed to act fast or those people will never leave his home. 4 days later, they charged Derek Chauvin. I know more justices needed to be serve because the other haven't been charged, but in the history of America, no police officer was ever charged that fast after a plain murder. I don't believe in tearing down my own community and setting it on fire. They are the foundation that create the community. If you're angry, take it to the politicians property.
60 unarmed black people killed per year by police, 60 black people killed a week in chicago, 20 cops killed by blacks a year. If you gonna generalize cops its gonna get very ugly when people start looking at african america statistics.
She need to take that energy out against the corrupt police...especially the undercover cops who are inciting the riots and violence." It's like that Billy Joel song, "We Didn't Start The Fire."

@@RtRt-qh9hq no but his dream didn't include a structural system of racism fueled by oppression toward his people neither. You can't have it both ways.

Do you?
BULLSHIT. Everyone was against him. The FBI a was already investigating it. He never would be free. These riots have only made people angry at the rioters. Everyone was on their side before. Not anymore
No he wouldn't I live in Chicago when laquan McDonald was shot and killed there were no riots here and the cop is in jail right now. There were some protest movement nothing like what's going on there I was surprised how quick it was took about a month for them to charge the cop in laquan McDonald death.
Atlanta doesn't even have a history of police brutality. And it's not even about the deaths when these clowns are hitting up Gucci and Louis Vuitton stores. Noting but a bunch of new slaves going after personal gain

Why ask mayors or any top how they feel about it, they won’t ever be the next, ask whoever feels they might be the next one, how they feel about it. And then ask top how to fix this
Neither would he have condemned it. He would probably be more critical and less forgiving of the mayor’s attitude than the rioter’s actions-the rioters are acting out in response to injustice; the mayor is a two-faced hypocrite. You can’t claim to understand the gravity of and be opposed to injustice while condemning its exasperated victims. Speaking psychologically, it’s hardly plausible that those two attitudes can coexist.
Sure mr. Conspiracy nut. Sorry dude but a the words of a rambling conspiracy nut cannot be taken over actual evidence and the people there with him but try agin later :D
“Let’s get back to the context of why this is happening.” Okay. Why aren’t there any laws set in place to protect citizens from corrupt law enforcement?
Get real,90% of these people just want to loot. The police officers should be imprisoned,but most of those people lost sight of that, they just want free stuff.
@@1DangerMouse1 he will be, if not then it would make more sense to be upset but justice is being served so the riots are just destroying everyone, how does burning down your city help besides helping to keep,construction crews busy.
Because there's a system in place that guarantees people who have been classified as non white are going to suffer at the hands of those white people who believe in practicing white supremacy. That's why this keeps happening over and over again. Like a broken record. These evil people are still livin large and doing their thing. They live!
Clearly taking a knee at football games and waiting to vote every 4 years doesn’t do anything, so come back when you have an alternative method of inciting change...
Huh? Only around half the country actually votes, which is ridiculous in a modern democratic nation. Democratic principles can't survive if only half the population only participates. You want change, register to vote, ask for mail-in ballots, get your friends and family to do the same.
Maybe I was wondering, if Don Lemon when he talked to that sheriff about baton rouge, guess what, he totally predicted it. Look it up from three years ago. The sheriff was spot on.
Its been 30 yrs since Rodney King and nothing came out of peaceful protest. Sometimes change comes out of violence. South Africa and Ireland are two of many instances. The man in the Whitehouse is a Neo Fascist as are his cohorts. Time to demilitarize the police. The system is in place to protect corporations and their property. I didn’t hear a call for justice and the arrest of the other 3 that stood by and watched a lynching.
This ain’t in the spirit of MLK it’s in the spirit of Malcolm X. We tried talking and asking for change for YEARSSSSS now it’s time to show you how strong we are. We refuse to die at the hands of cops
Exactly!!!! Trevor Noah said, they’re looting stores because black bodies have been looted for centuries. Why should they care when no one cares about them?
ya but malcom X was smart, he did not riot. He had 100 well dressed black men, without criminal records, stand in line in front of the police station for hours till the black guys got out.
The only thing we are proving is how weak we are. The most valuable Strength isnt shown in demonstrations of force. We are hurting the core principles of what we aim to achieve by burning and looting places.
Miss Jay Actually she isn’t. “We’re asking for peace, not patience.” Essentially, in order to achieve change, we must be organized and have our sights set on a unified goal. Otherwise we have sporadic spurts of anger, which cannot only harm those who would have supported us but can also be exploited by those who do not wish for us to succeed.

Green M pardon me but you have no knowledge of how the legal system works and what it takes to bring charges (charges that stick) against a person. You also have no real knowledge of the circumstances that went on at the scene. All you know is what you can see inside a 2x3 screen on your phone so there has to be an investigation. Just as we can’t have mob riots-we can’t have mob courts that convict people on the public’s say so. I AM NOT DEFENDING THE KILLER! There is a lot of evidence that this was murder but there is also more involved that we can’t see and don’t understand. If we want justice for Georg Floyd then things have to be done in a legal manner or the case will fall apart and the cops will go free. Does anyone want that?!
Maybe she should have that much emotion on calling for Chauvin and his henchmen to be arrested and prosecuted for real. Looks like she's got a bright future on CNN after she loses next election.

He's a mediocre QB who was going to get released due to poor preseason play and used the protest to keep his $15M contract since the 49ers couldn't release him because of the PR disaster it would ensue. Then he signed millions more in endorsements for no work. He refused a $9M contract from Elway and the Broncos because it wasn't enough money. When the Ravens wanted to sign him, his wife called their owner a racist for no reason. When the NFL gave him another shot, he turned it into a charade for himself. Cry me a river. He capitalized on this. He's a scumbag imo. The worst kind of snake oil salesman.

@@derekthehalfabee7942 agreed. They charged him with 3rd degree because they know they can get a conviction. Anything else, and he walks free. Murder in the 3rd is easy to prove, "beyond a reasonable doubt", because he is dead. He will also get the max sentence, because, he was supposed to protect and serve, not destroy and violate. I think they charged him with the right crime.

When King was assassinated he had spent 10 years as a socialist he was giving a speech less then 10 people attended because his message was no long relevant
Not only that, they rioting because police are always starting it. See they don't put that on the news. They were peaceful and then police come and shoot rubber bullets and spraying things so again police are starting things and blaming it on us period.

I feel like the protesters are poor and upset because they've been walked on for too long. I hope they get justice. The rioters and looters are poor and upset because they feel personally affected, and are using the social breakdown to look after their own pleasure and instincts to let out anger.

It's to get attention and you will get attention but with the violence, its only gonna be negative one..

We had over 40 years of MLK and the result was a cop’s knee to a black man’s neck and his eventual murder.
The result was: Philando, Sandra, Oscar, Treyvon, Eric, Micheal, Terrence, Samuel, Freddie, Tamir, Walter, Alton, Jamar, Jeremy, Eric, Akai, and that’s not even scratching the surface.
We’re having a Minister Malcolm “powder keg” moment right now.
Martin and Malcolm laid the foundation for us to continue on. It was set up for us. They both passed the baton to the next generation. That’s the job of the older generation is to make way for us then it’ll be our turn to set things up for those we will one day leave behind. It’s not about what will work. It’s about putting things in place for us to come along to finish the work. Martin and Malcolm created the door that we now get a chance to walk through. They passed it on for us to do it our way.
What are you talking about? A riot has followed just about every black man killed by the cops. The only difference here is the scope and scale. MAYBE the solution isn't to make your methods more drastic, but more appropriate? How the fuck is it 3 random officers in Baton Rogue and 5 random officers in Dallas are dead, but the cops who killed all those people you mentioned are still alive. Justice is the marriage of actions to consequences, a system where people who COMMIT THE CRIME suffer, not random innocents. No one is more against the idea of justice than these protestors.
well considering that not all of those names were people killed by cops or were, but weren't innocent victims, i'd say i doubt you're scratching the surface, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to come up with enough of a reason.

There's a simple solution
Cops need to be held accountable for the laws they break

I agree
That's all we're asking for?
Getting arrested is only the first step. What happens at the end of his trial will be the real story here.
@@mhopps12 put it this way - until a few years ago in Washington State the requirement for convicting any police officer of homicide was that the prosecutor had to _prove_ to the jury, that he acted with _malice_ which requires proving what someone was thinking so unless they said "I'm going to kill that guy" and did it, he'd have gotten off. And on top of that, the prosecutor has to have a close working relationship with the police, so how motivated are they going to be to push that?
Thank those 4 criminal cops, Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng for all the chaos.
Agreed.
Thank all of the cops, judges, jail keeps, GOPers who have done this...Oh, and let's not forget the Karen's and MAGAs
You really think that this 4 cops are the reason? This like drinking 20 beers and blame the vomiting and hangover on the last one.
@Rose Nguyen it was 3 officers on George floyd
@Rose Nguyen all of those cops that stood over that man as the life was taken from him should be arrested. If anything they assisted in murder. They could have at any point said or done something to make it stop and they didn't
"This is not the legacy of civil rights" But the thing is people are reacting like this possibly because they feel the legacy of "civil rights" hasn't worked.
Spot on!
I disagree. MLK got a bunch of old white men to vote against their own self-interest TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION. Think about how profound that is. It takes a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives as well as 2/3 of the Governors across the entire nation to change the Constitution. MLK is rolling over in his grave. He laid the blueprint for acquiring real social change. It's a damn shame no one wants to pay attention.
Yea but they're burning down black businesses too how is that helping the community. I wish black people will wake up and realize this isnt gonna solve anything just ruin the community
The Atlanta Mayor is 100% spot on.
Dont scare the investors away, unintended consequences could happen where local people will have travel farther for basic necessities, i travel all over usa and seen it with own eyes, especially st louis where i could not find a gas station for miles in certain run down hoods cause they all closed down, finally found one and ask the attendant lady what happened in this town, i swear to god she "all the white folks left" not kidding, first time i ever heard that before.
I'd love to hear the people who actually support the rioting react to this mayor's words
i'd say if you want peace prepare for war ! . We would not be heard if we dont make loud noise !
root She said, “We’re asking for peace, NOT patience.”
She whole heartedly supports black rights. However, looting and blowing up cars plays right into the hands of those who don’t support civil rights, for they will try to perpetuate the lies about blacks and minorities being criminals.
We require firm goals, organization and solidarity. Without them we become sporadic isolated spurts of anger that won’t do anything except potentially harm others and those who would have supported us.
She needs to be updated.....MLK's ways and tactics are not for 2020. She sounds like a mother reprimanding her children. Voting has nothing to do with whats's going on. Speak to the overall establishment as such and the police department in the same fashion. Glad she's not my mayor. She needs to be enlightened.

“Riots are the language of the unheard.” I keep seeing this quote people are posting by MLK. Which makes a valid point. He understood why riots occur. BUT he’s not saying it’s okay, he’s simply coming from a place of understanding. MLK always stood for peace. Many people do not understand his message, it goes right over their heads. All this violence and chaos will continue to happen time and time again, over and over, until humanity learns it’s lesson, peace and love is the way. Violence is NOT the answer. All it does is continue the cycle of hurt and abuse. Break the cycle.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” MLK. He spoke the truth! People simply do not understand... you cannot fight fire with fire and expect the fire to go out. It will just continue to burn.
How about break the cause...y'all so worried about the response then don't do what causes it.

Without the rioting MLK’s “peaceful message” wouldn’t work, the government knew they better listen to the diplomats and “fix” the problems before it impacted them personally. MLK was eventually killed so where’s the peace in that? You always expect black people ( the victim) to be the bigger person and forgive the violence they’re experiencing but not all people will surrender to violence without fighting for their lives. White people showed they can’t give any freedom and respect to black people unless they’re forced by laws or violence. It took a war to end slavery, en entire movement that led to death to end segregation and yet still the government never changed. It’s still oppressing black people and asking them to understand. Why don’t you stop killing and discriminating against black people. We can either live peacefully together as brothers and sisters or die as enemies.
We will gain more using our brains more than our emotions.
sometimes your emotions drives spiritually.we not only at war physically black people wake tf up stop being submissive cowards. need that nat Turner and yes he was a educated black man who knew how to read and still used his common sense and emotion.Eye for eye duh that's the only way we did all that peaceful stuff already
Emotions are a bad idea sometimes. They get people in trouble... use logic instead!
Go ahead and use your brain. When you come up with a better solution then tell the rest of us about it...because obviously we are all dumb from expecting idiots up there to to the right things.
Miss Jay I do not think you understand what an eye for an eye means. Do you really think riots and destruction has helped the cause in ANY way?!? She’s 1000% right and the only thing this has done is fully overshadow the cause and disrespect Floyd’s (and SO many others) life and memory.

As a Black man l have been terribly mistreated and cheated. It happened in Pocatello, ldaho where l worked hard and had the respect of many Whites and the few Blacks that were there. I helped Whites who needed help. I was told l made significant improvements in the workforce. But 2 White men, for whom l did favors wretchedly turned on me over a minor disagreement and l lost my career. They felt it necessary to go to unwarranted extremes, and they publicly humiliated me. No Whites came to my aid.
Something similar happened to me in Howard County, Maryland. Both times I went through the proper channels to remonstrate, but l still lost. My point is, non-violent protests have been demonstrated, but it seems America does not hear. It's the squeaking wheel that gets the oil.

j p twice as many white people are killed by police because theirs is twice as many of us my guy. You have to do the numbers per capita. And in doing so, being a black citizen in American, you’re 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police officer than a white citizen.

And the cash reserves don't even take into consideration the offshore dollars the have in the tax havens. Capitalism is eating itself alive. If everyone at Apple made an extra 25k they would buy more Fords/Chevys/etc. Then those companies can pay their employees more and those employees would buy the newest iPhone. But all these companies hoarding $$, dodging taxes. Income inequality is real.

Yes, but the system hasn't changed how many black mayors or chiefs do you need?
@none none burning down your own community and setting your own community back to square 1 isn't the answer. Go outside to your politician's home, their property and boycott, protest, do it , even if it takes weeks, months.. Doesn't matter until they do something. When they see the number outside of their own home, face to face... they know they need to change. Like Denzel Washington said, if you hang around the barber shop long enough, the sooner or later you're going to get a haircut.
Actually, that does not help, because those black chiefs and mayors feel shy to be call reverse-racists for standing up for black human rights. Just like Obama was shy to stand up.
@none none And like you mentioned, I don't believe that writing letters and calling is going to do anything. Show up in their property, in peace though. Politicians needed the visual image of human interaction and face to face. When they know, we no longer will stand for their bullcraps and if they don't, they will be replaced. Look at Mike Freeman, district attorney of Hennepin County in Minneapolis. There was a separate protesters, protesting outside his home with speakers and essays in tows. He knew he needed to act fast or those people will never leave his home. 4 days later, they charged Derek Chauvin. I know more justices needed to be serve because the other haven't been charged, but in the history of America, no police officer was ever charged that fast after a plain murder. I don't believe in tearing down my own community and setting it on fire. They are the foundation that create the community. If you're angry, take it to the politicians property.
60 unarmed black people killed per year by police, 60 black people killed a week in chicago, 20 cops killed by blacks a year. If you gonna generalize cops its gonna get very ugly when people start looking at african america statistics.

I agree with her 100 percent! Martin Luther King Jr. would never have approved of this.
Neither would he have condemned it. He would probably be more critical and less forgiving of the mayor’s attitude than the rioter’s actions-the rioters are acting out in response to injustice; the mayor is a two-faced hypocrite. You can’t claim to understand the gravity of and be opposed to injustice while condemning its exasperated victims. Speaking psychologically, it’s hardly plausible that those two attitudes can coexist.

Its been 30 yrs since Rodney King and nothing came out of peaceful protest. Sometimes change comes out of violence. South Africa and Ireland are two of many instances. The man in the Whitehouse is a Neo Fascist as are his cohorts. Time to demilitarize the police. The system is in place to protect corporations and their property. I didn’t hear a call for justice and the arrest of the other 3 that stood by and watched a lynching.

This ain’t in the spirit of MLK it’s in the spirit of Malcolm X. We tried talking and asking for change for YEARSSSSS now it’s time to show you how strong we are.
We refuse to die at the hands of cops
Exactly!!!! Trevor Noah said, they’re looting stores because black bodies have been looted for centuries. Why should they care when no one cares about them?
ya but malcom X was smart, he did not riot. He had 100 well dressed black men, without criminal records, stand in line in front of the police station for hours till the black guys got out.
The only thing we are proving is how weak we are. The most valuable Strength isnt shown in demonstrations of force. We are hurting the core principles of what we aim to achieve by burning and looting places.

I AM NOT DEFENDING THE KILLER! There is a lot of evidence that this was murder but there is also more involved that we can’t see and don’t understand.

This is an effort to take down the United States, it’s more than George Floyd, who was definitely murdered R.I.P.
He's a mediocre QB who was going to get released due to poor preseason play and used the protest to keep his $15M contract since the 49ers couldn't release him because of the PR disaster it would ensue. Then he signed millions more in endorsements for no work.
He refused a $9M contract from Elway and the Broncos because it wasn't enough money. When the Ravens wanted to sign him, his wife called their owner a racist for no reason. When the NFL gave him another shot, he turned it into a charade for himself.

@@cloroc right. Its humanity. Humility. That mayor is 100 percent right. But I'm sorry. I blame all the news stations for fueling this movement. Something else is going on. Antifa and other groups organizing to tear down what was built by hard working Americans of all races. But what sickens me is the destruction and violence being done on people of the same race! U see the black man business owner crying and yelling over his business being burnt up what is wrong with these people. It is anarchy
Political party has nothing to do with what is going on...
Lol stupid
Thank you ma'am! You have the platform to get this message out and therefore it is your duty to Express this properly! We need the same message we need to go back and listen to Dr. King's speeches!
MLK protested peacefully and we still dying by these people he wanted us to unite with
Thank you.
facts. we've seen what happens when you protest peacefully the way MLK did. we've seen what happens when you protest peacefully the way kaepernick did. don't let the media convince you that peaceful protest is an option. these people don't get it. enough is enough. they don't want their brother to be next, their son to be next. they've had it!
"those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -JFK.
And they Murder Dr. King..... so what's ur point... die peaceful!!!
@RyRy the point is, people were BORN and RAISED here. Their ancestors built their country. They have a right to live here without being scared of being murdered by the police. When the colonialists started a the violent boston tea party the british govt said they were wrong. same with the french revolution. sometimes you gotta kick ass to make change, because talk hasn't worked. just look at all the countries the US is at war with...how come the US govt doesnt follow Dr. King's teachings?
@@damwilkir284 She brought up MLK. MLK was violently shot. All places protested except for the city RFK did a speech it.
Of course, this is totally irrelevant.
This b*tch went on national TV calling for people to stop taking action. CNN gave this coconut a voice while ignoring why people are so angry in the first place. Not only was a man suffocated, but it went on for nine minutes. The offender was not arrested until the prescient was set alight. The other present officers on duty have received no punishment. Clearly she does not fin it concerning that they think that this appropriate conduct.
Then protesters turned up to CNN towers in Atlanta to make their voices heard but were attacked with tear has by the police. Nobody wants to address the big elephant in the room.
Poor taste.
Dear Lord we need many more like this woman ! She is more than a role model!
Yall love dem mammies huh?!?! Jeeeezzz
I'm sorry but Mayor Bottoms is so out of touch. I hear the same rhetoric for the past 3 decades and NOTHING CHANGED. OTING DOESN"T SOLVE NOTHING.
The best way to have change is to have blacks practice GROUP BLACK ECONOMICS.
WATCH Dr. Claude Anderson about group economics on link below, HIS WORDS ARE POWERFUL and LOGICAL!!!
