It is time that the news media stops referring to those who vandalize, loot or attack police officers as protestors.

For California politicians and police departments to step back and let stores and property be looted and destroyed over a tragic event in Minnesota is unacceptable. We have learned that our state and local municipalities don't have the manpower to stop these thugs from ruining our cities and the property of our neighbors. It is a sad day when anarchy and violence rules the day.

White people Hear the cause but they're not listening otherwise there would have been progress, and there is no progress.

For people who want to make this about anything but race, it’s like do y’all really not understand what’s going on here?

Keep it real. Admit something’s wrong in this country, admit that this is about race, and let’s build a way forward.

Excellent points. It is too bad we have a President that encourages police brutality, supports white supremacist views and tries to ignore the constitution like a third world dictator.

how about we let people feel the way the want to feel instead of telling them how to feel. Liberals are really good at telling you how you must feel. No thanks, don't need any advice from you.
