People are fed up with Police and Racist Justice System.

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

Don't let this movement be de-fanged or co-opted. It can only be defined by the people on the streets.

[@theciakilledjfk5973]

All of these young people need to understand that the system is most afraid of precise economic demands that we never stop demanding. They want to get away with some kind of CEOs Against Racism b*******. We have to go much farther.

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

@@theciakilledjfk5973 I'm thoroughly impressed by this movement's inability and conscious resistance to getting co-opted so far though.

@@tonyfat2458 if you still believe it's about liberal vs conservative and Republican vs Democrat, you're not paying attention. Corrupt interest have bought out both parties and Pelosi and Trump just stole FIVE TRILLION dollars, then gave it to their friends. The same friends. Wake up!

I really hope that these brave people win the day against racism. I really it hope BLM comes to Australia where the Aborinigal is treated as a foreigner in their own country. This is not only an American problem but a global one.

The horse has the bit between it's teeth. I am delighted. Finally. Been waiting decades for this.

Thanks, DN!

[@sharonletts88]

Beautifully done. Thank you :)

[@baronharkonnen1217]

This is all fine and dandy but will anything change? Just like the Yellow Vest protests in France where the government let the protests continue for months but in the end nothing was changed. The Yellow Vests protested for over 12 months but nothing changed. The government in the United States is just going to wait this out.

Thank you for portraying the truth. Crypto currency is a gates ponzi scheme to replace the ten year market crash cycle.

I think the only reason this protest is so big is because so mny folks are out of work so they have the time to protest now

Wish this Brother had removed his rag from his mouth for us to loudly hear his much needed words! Let's also wake up to believe "God's" blessed air is perfectly healthy and vital important for us to breathe...without masks!! Here we are protesting much for George Floyd, as well as Eric Garner, who both spoke their last words in despair "i can't breathe," but yet in still the masses miserably fail at appreciating the very thing they both last begged to have and receive! Hosea 4:6.

What a shame you are backing riot. Your vision is blind. Up yers

[@universalacousticradio5540]

This is not a riot.... its a march for human rights..

[@MyMomo17]

What Riot this is called Protesting it is legal under the Constitution here in the USA.
