the police training manual says a person restrained needs to be in the side recovery position and to be monitored until ems arrives. They leave it to common sense that “monitor” the subject means that if the body goes limp and not breathing during restraint, remove your knee from the neck
Heay VICE News!! You need to follow up with an AFTERMATH special laying out how much these misguided BLM rioters cost neighborhoods, businesses, cities and states!!! Whoever’s left of BLM must be proud to have driven out grocery, retail and drug stores after their tirades…right?!?! They only hurt themselves long term but interviewing these people now to see what their lives have devolved into is something to see!!
@@Nickname-hier-einfuegen No, its oppressed black americans fighting back for the first time because they dont want to see their mothers and fathers sons and daughters killed anymore and people are mad about it. I guess it went over your head, but I guess where you live has a perfect history. But what do I know right?
@@jameschauvet3140 first time do you no how many roits the usa had the 60s make make them look like jokes. like 3rd of city on fire and fire fight with cops very 10 or 20 year we roit
They caused it. He said they are gonna make it look like doomsday and then clean up. That's not helping his cause. He spoke about cause and effect. Should have thought about the effects of his actions. I'm not American and even I know Trump 2020 is gonna happen now
Yeah police should have prioritized stopping the crime and destruction instead of wasting resources on breaking up peaceful protests and arresting the press. It's not that hard to tell the difference. Shows you what their priorities are. Honestly the message we should all take from this protest is that it needs to be the other way around. The police we have are violent vigilantes who care more about social hierarchy than social justice or public safety.
@brian h You destroyed property & people. Looted & burned. You asked for everything you got, and more. You should all be banished to the wilderness like the wild animals that you are - unsuitable to be present in a civilised society.
4:56 "Some people call it 'looting'." Why is he trying to play these people down? Right before that scene there were people destroying and looting a bank. I seriously do not understand how people can justify that kind of behavior. Protesting is one thing, but the rioters and looters need to be called out on their actions and prosecuted.
Destroying a local bank is like destroying someone's life because they lose all their savings in that bank....So this looting isn't for the people lol....
Yea peaceful protest have gotten sooooo much done! Please even MLk protested peacefully and accomplished nothing.. It was only after he was assassinated that things got done..
How would you handle the looting if you were in charge and it was your ass on the line? Please explain? When the looters are done with stores they will start breaking into peoples houses were there are small children asleep. What if they break into your house? if you owned a business that you spent your whole life building and they destroy it what would you say to that? How would you feel if no police came to help you? They are shooting tear gas into innocent protesters because ther are looters mixing into that crowd. It is all on the peaceful protesters to leave the area when they see these looters around them.
The woman says she has no problem with the looting and rioting. Does she also no problem with those poor people jobs that has been lost due to the destroying of businesses. I am asking for a friend.
@@s.c4n618 so rioting and causing more damage over a person's death is acceptable? So you think it's okay for small family business to be looted, which consequently cause them to lose their jobs, their income, and their whole business? You think damaging someone's car, burning buildings, damaging billions of dollars in property is worth it for the greater good? I agree that George Floyd's death was sad, and the police officer needs to be prosecuted. But don't you think the riots are too much? Especially when the police officer who killed George Floyd is in custody, and his charges has been upgraded from manslaughter to murder?
@@s.c4n618 also, don't you think the riots hurt more people, compare to one person? The protestors could have protested peacefully. After all, as long as a protest is peaceful, it's fine. But when the price outweights the reward, then is it something we want to continue? Riots causes damage to infrastructure, and to the economy. Our economy is doing pretty bad right now because of the coronavirus. If riots continue, wouldn't it hurt our economy even more?

they're marking shops as "black owned" to help and support black businesses, not to destroy every other business. the marking is not there for the sole purpose of saving their shops from looters. the people who are there to loot will loot from any business. i don't know where you got this idea from but this isn't in the slightest comparable to the boycott of jewish businesses during the 1930s if that is what you were implying.
@Vlad Impaler its not racist its to support black owned businesses because i don't know if you are aware but black people are a largely oppressed minority that are being killed by the police who are supposed to make you feel safe. Having a sign that says "black owned" isn't racist.
No Name they only arrested them after that video got leaked. The system is broken. How about Breonna Taylor? The officers that killed her have still not been arrested. These names that we know are only a few upon the thousands of victims of police brutality. We’re not cry babies, were actually doing something instead of blinding ourselves. BLM
This is all both scary and sad. We´ve seen this happen before in places where minorities and/or poor people have been oppressed by the state. First they protest peacefully, get nothing, then protest violently, get more violence back, then get even more violent, as in insurgency, then sooner or later the majority of the people and the minorities themselves get tired with the whole story and you end up with a lot of dead people, mostly on the side of the minorities, and a lot of people in jail. Maybe some guy who is smarter and less principled than the rest can make a career, but everything remains the same. It happened in Northern Ireland, in the Basque Countries, you even saw the same pattern with left- and right-wing insurgency in Italy and Germany in the 70s and 80s.

Looting for self gain because there is nowhere else to turn.

No. It’s a side effect that comes along with taking control by force and making a change. It would also be a huge help if you could take the spotlight off of looting because of what the press shows and focus on the actual problem so that we can make the change that we need, thus ending the riots and the looting.

@OBEYTHEWALRUS G59 maga. A simple idea for people that believe a simple president. We have to do better in Discerning what is good for our country or everybody suffers
Basically. Between the racist cops that can’t control their urge to kill black folk, and Trump threatening to mass murder American civilians. Yeah kinda.
This is the problem, we can't let the rioters and looters distract from the goals of the movement. The police have already been caught pretending to be protesters and trying to start riots, so its clear thats what they want. Reform the police
@@ueuuehhh9748 could you dm me a source for that being proven? Not trying to start an argument, I just want to read up on it if/when I speak about it to others.
@@mekskraptrakkz5718 ua-cam.com/video/wgAOPKpBzCc/v-deo.html This guy proved to be a cop, he was smashing windows. It is undoubted that there is undercover cops amongst protesters in most cities, (EX:The yellow wristband people in chicago) but this is one of the few times it was proven that they were rioting
@hatter00 "allready set their minds" Just like you have? How do you think America became its own country to begin with? They sertanlly didn't just ask George the 3rd of he could maybe just give it to them?
I live near Minneapolis. I’m not a leftist and pretty conservative actually. There is NO excuse for ARMED policeman who work for the GOVERNMENT to SHOOT OR BEAT completely unarmed men/women or press who are CLEARLY underpowered and under equipped. I’m no fan of the police but it’s common sense to say that violence only makes things worse. They could easily just guard protestors, be nice and win them over. How about the police offer them water? Snacks? Food? Way cheaper than weapons. Do you think the popularity of police wouldn’t go up and the protests wouldn’t stop if they showed kindness? I guess compassion isn’t the American way.
That's a few opertunists. Not all the thousands of people protesting. I could say the same of the police force, since a few of them are responsible for the death of George then all of the police in the entire city state should be arrested for killing him?
@ShushDontWorry What if those items are the very things keeping you alive! LOOTERS IN MY VIEW ARE KILLERS. KILLING PEOPLES LIVES AND RUINING THEIR LIVELIHOODS. They are no better than the cops who got George Floyd Killed. Don't go...oh everything can be replaced, because of insurance. Do you guys even know how insurance work?
@@hmsdemolition8588 The rebuilding efforts? The community mostly. There are tons of funds that are either allocating money to rebuild or have been created for that specific purpose. We Love Lake Street has already raised over $4 million.
Let's join together and loot and pillage our neighborhoods because someone will always rebuild it right? Keep voting for Democrats and expect different results.
Do they have as much available information as they did with George Floyd? When George Floyd died, his family shared his life and story with everyone. No one has said shit about Chauvin.
I was not in the protest, but I can guarantee the cops didn't just roll up and start popping off tear gas. He completely forgot the part when the cops was telling them to disperse over the loud speaker because that was an unlawful assembly. Also, where's the justice for the cars owned by innocent bystanders that they burned down? And the shops they looted, shops they destroyed, and lives they disrupted.
@@TapalKuda hong kong is a very different place, with different values, morals, city planning, and transportation. the only city in america that could reach even close to hk's level of organization is NYC. that being said, some organization tactics have def been used here.
That George Floyd was such a GREAT guy! And BLM, such a great organization. They really put that money they raised to good use to help the black community. How many mansions did they buy for themselves again?…
Being angry isn't an excuse to be hypocrites concerning violence, danger and a disrespect for human life. Tossing a brick that might hit anyone and cause death isn't getting justice either.
I see nothing wrong with burning my own city to the ground? That might be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Her lack of empathy towards people who have there things burned down is sick. Everything’s okay until it affects you.
David22092001 No. Thats what public parks and sidewalks are for. Or you get a permit to shut the street down. Blocking public streets is dangerous as we saw over and over during the Floyd riots.
@@makerstudios5456 lol that sounds awfully authoritarian, youre only allowed to protest if the city allows it and in parks? You know that every important revolution in the past happensd by doing something that matters. such as when the american revolution meant shooting at brits, instead of kindly asking the brits if they can petition to stand in a park
David22092001 It’s not authoritarian at all. It’s simple public safety. You can’t just have a parade without a permit. Right to assembly means you can peacefully assemble. If you are now saying these are revolutions/insurrections and not peaceful protests then the government and loyalists are allowed to shoot them. Be careful what you wish for.
@@makerstudios5456 lol what? So youre not allowed to have dissenting opinions if you dont have a permit and if you still do so you will get shot ? And its for public safety? Thats literally what fascist germany or soviet russia would say
Anyone else noticing in the videos that it's usually State/Federal agencies needlessly escalating situations? More so than the local agencies from what I've been seeing. When they start arresting looters with anywhere near the number of otherwise peaceful protestors being arrested you might see my attitude change. Every otherwise peaceful protestor arrested instead sees just how easy it is for the state to use its stick on all of us.
Those looters are out of their mind. Destroying everything around them, their city, their neighbors businesses and livelihoods. And good people need to clean up their mess. It’s just insane. They are so far away from reality they don’t realize how much harm they‘re doing to their community or they‘re just evil.
What “change” do these people want? Also, I find it racist when people generalize to all “white folk”. The definition of racism is: “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.” Don’t fight racism with racism, this is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue, it is a bit too simplistic to make it a “white vs. black” thing. Lastly, violence solves nothing other than bring more violence and undermine a movement which is trying to overcome violence. Like what I learned when I was in kindergarten, “two wrongs don’t make a right”.
This comment reeks of privilege. What do these “people” want? Is that even a valid question. I’m sorry but if you were peaceful for decades after decades you wouldn’t snap back eventually? Of course violence and looting isn’t the answer but you can’t be surprised.
Farhia Mohamed and your comment reeks of excuses and being caught up in semantics. In other words, it is shallow and pedantic. If I can’t use the word “people” to describe human beings Farhia what word should I use? I certainly welcome you to offer up something useful other than throwing shade. I guess people calling for non violence and human rights are privileged. Ah yes, and I must have recent history wrong too. It was the ‘incredibly violent civil right movement led by Dr. MLK that brought about huge legislative change in our country’....or was it successful because it was peaceful? Hmm?
I respect the reason for protesting, but i Think its the Wrong time for that, cause every live matters and These Protests are perfect to spread the virus.
When the Vice crew was told to get on the ground and the main journalist started reiterating what just happened, there was a moment where I realized "Oh shit, the guy is black. He's documenting it clearly because there's a very real chance that he will be killed the same way as George Flyod. Laying on the ground at the order of Minnesota police." and it fucking hit me like a train. There's being aware of your privilege as a white person, and there's realizing that you've never felt that kind of fear in your whole life, for the *ONLY* reason that your skin is not dark. I've never wanted to be a proper ally for a movement as much as I do right now.
The cop got charged he's in jail not to mention the others and yet there still protesting there in no point in violent protest because the cops did nothing, the cops that did something which were the 4 in jail are already dealt with getting other cops in danger and the protester over something has already been dealt with is really stupid.I wish people would understand that.
thanks for coming from the suburbs and burning the infrastructure in south Minneapolis! We're all so proud of people like you who destroyed our neighborhoods. 👏
0:35 - and there’s the whole problem, beautifully annunciated. For as long as there are ‘black’ and “white folks” there will always, always be a racial divide.
This is crazy but I feel like violence is never the answer or robbing banks and stuff there is a difference between protesting and and breaking the law. God made this earth made different people for a reason respect all of his creations God made them for a reason. Pray to God that these issues can Improve. In shorter words RESPECT everyone even if they don't respect you Thank you for reading my comment ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿💕
LMAO if everyone was praying instead of protesting, Derek Chauvin would be lying in bed right now. It took 3 days of riots for him to get arrested....before that he was only fired.
Djilali Benderbous you can pray anywhere I am not saying don't protest I am saying don't ruin the the country by robbing banks and lighting things on fire
This is what we need to amplify. Almost no media attention has been placed on the community coordination and dedication to wellbeing. Many have only seen the headlines of these protests, without looking any further than that. This is the real, thoughtful, on the ground journalism that shows the real voices and stories of the community. Food redistribution and makeshift medics never take the spotlight, but keep the movement pushing.
False, nothing will change if there are no protests. The status quo is not acceptable and the police forces are incapable of reform themselves. They need to be preasured and lawmakers need to be held accountable. Nothing less. Remember how kneeling during NFL changed things? It did not.
Isn't that nice how they wouldn't arrest those doing the destruction but they would destroy those legally allowed to be there recording this for the world. Unreal.
Respect for peacefully protesting police brutality against the people they are supposed to serve and protect. Who pays for the police these days and do we need a new private police force to protect us from police as they are now? This is terrible.

Yes, a class war. It's been simmering for a while, now it's boiling over
Basically. Between the racist cops that can’t control their urge to kill black folk, and Trump threatening to mass murder American civilians. Yeah kinda.
Despite an “exemption” for the press? HOW ABOUT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS? That is an unforgivable violation of the first amendment.
If you stand for peace and police reform I’ll stand with ya but it is extremely sad more people are getting hurt.
This is the problem, we can't let the rioters and looters distract from the goals of the movement. The police have already been caught pretending to be protesters and trying to start riots, so its clear thats what they want. Reform the police
@@ueuuehhh9748 could you dm me a source for that being proven? Not trying to start an argument, I just want to read up on it if/when I speak about it to others.
Buddy, there are thousands standing in peace. See you at march tomorrow.
@@mekskraptrakkz5718 ua-cam.com/video/wgAOPKpBzCc/v-deo.html This guy proved to be a cop, he was smashing windows. It is undoubted that there is undercover cops amongst protesters in most cities, (EX:The yellow wristband people in chicago) but this is one of the few times it was proven that they were rioting
@hatter00 "allready set their minds"
Just like you have?
How do you think America became its own country to begin with? They sertanlly didn't just ask George the 3rd of he could maybe just give it to them?
I live near Minneapolis. I’m not a leftist and pretty conservative actually.
There is NO excuse for ARMED policeman who work for the GOVERNMENT to SHOOT OR BEAT completely unarmed men/women or press who are CLEARLY underpowered and under equipped. I’m no fan of the police but it’s common sense to say that violence only makes things worse. They could easily just guard protestors, be nice and win them over.
How about the police offer them water? Snacks? Food? Way cheaper than weapons. Do you think the popularity of police wouldn’t go up and the protests wouldn’t stop if they showed kindness?
I guess compassion isn’t the American way.
Idk maybe don’t break windows stores cause fires 1 million dollars of riots and maybe they’ll be nice
Police can’t offer cheez its to people rioting
Interesting sense of justice to loot stores, set cars and even houses on fire. Owned by innocent people...
That's a few opertunists. Not all the thousands of people protesting.
I could say the same of the police force, since a few of them are responsible for the death of George then all of the police in the entire city state should be arrested for killing him?
Majority of the looters aren’t actually protesting. Besides that, items can be replaced- life’s can’t.
@ShushDontWorry What if those items are the very things keeping you alive!
LOOTERS IN MY VIEW ARE KILLERS. KILLING PEOPLES LIVES AND RUINING THEIR LIVELIHOODS. They are no better than the cops who got George Floyd Killed.
Don't go...oh everything can be replaced, because of insurance. Do you guys even know how insurance work?
The justice is in the protests, not the loots. The looters should be imprisoned and forced to work in prison, for the people they have harmed
"burning the city was long overdue" so sad the reaction these people are having.
if the government stopped murdering and oppressing black people then these reactions wouldn't be justified

How are you in there
@@nocontext9635 he dead maybe
I worked during the riots, as long as you dont draw a ton of attention to yourself people just carry on with their business.
Again I ask Vice, when are you making a "Who was Derek Michael Chauvin?" docu series
Why would they
Do they have as much available information as they did with George Floyd? When George Floyd died, his family shared his life and story with everyone. No one has said shit about Chauvin.
once he got incarcerated he will become history
Never forget his name but nobody cares who he is.
@@DunderKlomp i really want to know more about him. Like lets look at what is allowed to be a part of the security of our nation.
I was not in the protest, but I can guarantee the cops didn't just roll up and start popping off tear gas. He completely forgot the part when the cops was telling them to disperse over the loud speaker because that was an unlawful assembly.
Also, where's the justice for the cars owned by innocent bystanders that they burned down? And the shops they looted, shops they destroyed, and lives they disrupted.
Apparently they've been taking advice from the HK protesters
doubt it, the hongkong protestors looked more sophisticated and organized than they are
@@TapalKuda Nope, they really have been look at r/HongKong.
@@TapalKuda they should invite the "leader" of HK protesters to US to teach them
@@TapalKuda hong kong is a very different place, with different values, morals, city planning, and transportation. the only city in america that could reach even close to hk's level of organization is NYC. that being said, some organization tactics have def been used here.
Hong Kong were fighting against communism. BLM is funded by Chinese Chinese Communism.
Sad the Military wasn't called in to put down the rioters
thanks for bringing us the behind scene story
That George Floyd was such a GREAT guy! And BLM, such a great organization. They really put that money they raised to good use to help the black community. How many mansions did they buy for themselves again?…
well.
its not our concern by mansions.
it how they handled the need for there placement
*I'm hearing disturbing rumors that stealing merch and burning down cities does not solve police brutality? anyone have a source on this?*

@@jakerobert3118 cringe and bluepilled.
You got to get a job pay your bills and stop being weak minded
Protest? Yes. Looting and burning and destroying community owned businesses? Nope. Gonna end up with bullets flying. I got my popcorn ready
Being angry isn't an excuse to be hypocrites concerning violence, danger and a disrespect for human life. Tossing a brick that might hit anyone and cause death isn't getting justice either.
Please do not destroy your communities. You should also stand out to against the looting and against the one who set fire @ other people’s property.
it wasn't south Minneapolis residents burning south Minneapolis infrastructure for "justice"
I see nothing wrong with burning my own city to the ground? That might be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Her lack of empathy towards people who have there things burned down is sick. Everything’s okay until it affects you.
Think about the small business owners.
yep they destroyed infrastructure here which in 2023 still isn't fixed
Blocking public streets without permits isn’t peaceful. Not to mention “you didn’t build that”.
fucking lol if you start labeling that not being peaceful, so much for the right to essembly
David22092001 No. Thats what public parks and sidewalks are for. Or you get a permit to shut the street down. Blocking public streets is dangerous as we saw over and over during the Floyd riots.
@@makerstudios5456 lol that sounds awfully authoritarian, youre only allowed to protest if the city allows it and in parks? You know that every important revolution in the past happensd by doing something that matters. such as when the american revolution meant shooting at brits, instead of kindly asking the brits if they can petition to stand in a park
David22092001 It’s not authoritarian at all. It’s simple public safety. You can’t just have a parade without a permit. Right to assembly means you can peacefully assemble. If you are now saying these are revolutions/insurrections and not peaceful protests then the government and loyalists are allowed to shoot them. Be careful what you wish for.
@@makerstudios5456 lol what? So youre not allowed to have dissenting opinions if you dont have a permit and if you still do so you will get shot ? And its for public safety? Thats literally what fascist germany or soviet russia would say
while my friends are protesting and getting arrested
im here chillin' with my PC games lol
What does that say about you?

I don't understand how the police can arrest the press for doing their job?
Using this guys death just for an excuse to loot makes me sick af.
If this was in China, they would have used AI based Face recognition technology and caught each one of them, within hours
I'm sure in due time, it will happen.

The Purge
Glad Vice news is back
Anyone else noticing in the videos that it's usually State/Federal agencies needlessly escalating situations? More so than the local agencies from what I've been seeing. When they start arresting looters with anywhere near the number of otherwise peaceful protestors being arrested you might see my attitude change. Every otherwise peaceful protestor arrested instead sees just how easy it is for the state to use its stick on all of us.
Those looters are out of their mind. Destroying everything around them, their city, their neighbors businesses and livelihoods. And good people need to clean up their mess. It’s just insane. They are so far away from reality they don’t realize how much harm they‘re doing to their community or they‘re just evil.
... is that all you got from watching this?
I would like this year to end quickly .....something is wrong with it
Do you think next years is going to be better ? Hell maybe even worse..
It not the year it's us
This is my favorite vice video now
What “change” do these people want? Also, I find it racist when people generalize to all “white folk”. The definition of racism is: “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.” Don’t fight racism with racism, this is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue, it is a bit too simplistic to make it a “white vs. black” thing. Lastly, violence solves nothing other than bring more violence and undermine a movement which is trying to overcome violence. Like what I learned when I was in kindergarten, “two wrongs don’t make a right”.
This comment reeks of privilege. What do these “people” want? Is that even a valid question. I’m sorry but if you were peaceful for decades after decades you wouldn’t snap back eventually? Of course violence and looting isn’t the answer but you can’t be surprised.
Hey, look up Jane Elliot on UA-cam.
Fr tho, no hate, just look her up.
Farhia Mohamed and your comment reeks of excuses and being caught up in semantics. In other words, it is shallow and pedantic. If I can’t use the word “people” to describe human beings Farhia what word should I use? I certainly welcome you to offer up something useful other than throwing shade. I guess people calling for non violence and human rights are privileged. Ah yes, and I must have recent history wrong too. It was the ‘incredibly violent civil right movement led by Dr. MLK that brought about huge legislative change in our country’....or was it successful because it was peaceful? Hmm?
Such thorough documentation. Bravo vice
Just a glimpse of what life is like in the middle east.
It is way more bad! Hahaa
Wtf how looting business is not wrong according to her

When the Vice crew was told to get on the ground and the main journalist started reiterating what just happened, there was a moment where I realized "Oh shit, the guy is black. He's documenting it clearly because there's a very real chance that he will be killed the same way as George Flyod. Laying on the ground at the order of Minnesota police." and it fucking hit me like a train. There's being aware of your privilege as a white person, and there's realizing that you've never felt that kind of fear in your whole life, for the *ONLY* reason that your skin is not dark. I've never wanted to be a proper ally for a movement as much as I do right now.
"peacefulness will only get you so far"... exactly! Non-violence is a privilegie
The cop got charged he's in jail not to mention the others and yet there still protesting there in no point in violent protest because the cops did nothing, the cops that did something which were the 4 in jail are already dealt with getting other cops in danger and the protester over something has already been dealt with is really stupid.I wish people would understand that.
Why r yall reposting pieces of the full documentary
na its so that ppl not in america can see it. Us Europeans can't view it
what a beautiful sight to be hold...
Don´t harass the prosecutor - he´s doing his job and whatever he can
I experienced this first hand and i will never forget. Minnesota im so fuckint proud of you
thanks for coming from the suburbs and burning the infrastructure in south Minneapolis! We're all so proud of people like you who destroyed our neighborhoods. 👏
Necks on our neck? Was that a threat? I didn’t know I personally killed the dude
I know right so peaceful and loving
imagine how it feels to be a street journalist. They arresting VICE now? wtf?
wow, the way that cop walked up to the reporter! Then to still arrest when they were press and exempt from curfew? What are you guys hiding?
Sorry but thus is a riot not a protest
'peaceful protest'
keep making more videos like these I really like them and there really informative too!
yep they fulled the people that lit and police station on fire and destroyed buissneses i hope the suppliers r proud
0:35 - and there’s the whole problem, beautifully annunciated. For as long as there are ‘black’ and “white folks” there will always, always be a racial divide.

I appreciate the vice documentary on the January 6 insurrection. This riot was just as bad
This is crazy but I feel like violence is never the answer or robbing banks and stuff there is a difference between protesting and and breaking the law. God made this earth made different people for a reason respect all of his creations God made them for a reason.
Pray to God that these issues can Improve. In shorter words RESPECT everyone even if they don't respect you
Thank you for reading my comment ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿💕
LMAO if everyone was praying instead of protesting, Derek Chauvin would be lying in bed right now. It took 3 days of riots for him to get arrested....before that he was only fired.

am not saying don't protest I am saying don't ruin the the country by robbing banks and lighting things on fire
sir we need more like this plezz

I feel sorry for the people who live in Minneapolis, after the riots there will be so much damage
People who lived in south Minneapolis didn't want our doctor's offices, grocery stores, police stations and infrastructure torched or looted.
cleaning up is so dignified Thankyou
This is what we need to amplify. Almost no media attention has been placed on the community coordination and dedication to wellbeing. Many have only seen the headlines of these protests, without looking any further than that. This is the real, thoughtful, on the ground journalism that shows the real voices and stories of the community. Food redistribution and makeshift medics never take the spotlight, but keep the movement pushing.
most liely looted goods. They dont have the money to provide the terrorist with food, so they loot instead
yeah they burned down low income housing units, doctor's offices, minority owned businesses, grocery stores, they don't live here. They don't care.
THIS WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT of 2020
Heroes don't wear capes.
Thank you vice for covering this. No to racism. No to violence. No to looting.
This country is SO going to ROAR back....you wait... it’s called coming together
THANK YOU VICE NEWS
Reminds me of Hunger Games more than anything. The "peace keepers" beating people that don't obey every command. Smh this is America now
Yeah except looting isn't a very noble cause. Nor is burning down buildings.
The protesters are just giving the cops a reason to do what they want.
False, nothing will change if there are no protests. The status quo is not acceptable and the police forces are incapable of reform themselves.
They need to be preasured and lawmakers need to be held accountable. Nothing less.
Remember how kneeling during NFL changed things? It did not.
god bless them frr❤️
God bless Trump. 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
A K naaaah
These were riots.
The irony in screaming " I cant breathe " dw you will be whispering it when you catch corona virus
Isn't that nice how they wouldn't arrest those doing the destruction but they would destroy those legally allowed to be there recording this for the world. Unreal.
Respect for peacefully protesting police brutality against the people they are supposed to serve and protect. Who pays for the police these days and do we need a new private police force to protect us from police as they are now? This is terrible.
