    1. The vote will be set for whenever America forgets about it. Probably after professional sports start up again. That’ll be a big enough distraction for everyone to stop caring.

    1. Samller?? Whu? Because the evil Republicans want it small so they can steal from the people and enrich the 1%? If the USA was a corporation and the government was it’s HR department then the USA government is too small for 300 million people!

    2. @Dedrick Lucious you have no idea what I care about so dont act like you have all the answers and that you know what I think and feel.

    3. @The Tangerine Tyrant Smaller government has always been about cutting taxes for the wealthy. After tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, OMG, suddenly, we don’t have the taxes we need to fund social programs. We must reduce the size of government, therefore. When the wealthy pay less than their fair share in taxes, the middle and lower class pay for it through increased fees and reduced or even abolition of needed services. Smaller government is nothing less than the massive transfer of wealth.

    1. The Left – You don’t need Guns, Call the Police
      Also the Left – The Police are racist, Abolish the Police..
      The Hypocrisy of the Left knows no bounds & has no ceiling

  1. My heart aches for all families that have lost those to the abusers of power positions. Change in human to human interaction needs to happen now.

    1. @Kyomii if you were paying attention when all of Washington wanted trump to go to war with Russia over a fake grainy video of a staged chemical attack while he decided against war and imposed sanctions. Or the fact that democrats have been making middle eastern policy for years that involved regime change and proxy wars. Obama destabilized Libya and implemented the most drone strikes of any president. And not forgetting when Hillary threatened war with Russia over the lie that they hacked into the dnc servers. Name one conflict or war trump has started. I can name lots that liberal neo cons lile John Bolton have started. He is a man who trump fired because all the guy wanted was war war war while trump wants trade. So your argument is nonsense.

    2. @Kyomii yes. Bush was the original warmonger. He was liberal neo con whose whole family pals around with obama and promotes leftist causes. George bush is a friend of Ellen degenetes ffs. Him and Clinton and obama all worked towards the same goals. Hilary was going to be the one to take down America. Trump saved the country.

    3. @Cropper Copper please show me where anyone said that the murder of an innocent man is cool. That is insane. every conservative and republican was equally horrified by the event. No one said it was cool. And there is zero evidence of that. You are hysterical.

    4. Andrew M Why would Trump go to war with Putin? Given he has private talks with Putin constantly, given that every intelligence bureau both in the USA and around the world have categorically stated Russia/Putin interfered in the elections (and not just US elections) and given we know how much Trump respects Putin, your point that he wouldn’t go to war with him means zero. Obama dealt with 3 pandemics and a recession and positively upturned the economy. Meanwhile, given the news is just out that the US recession began before the lockdown, and the poor leadership Trump has shown, history will earmark him as one of the worst presidents in US history.

    1. Yes but they work for everyone in America and they are not above the law and hurt people
      They should treat everyone the same and that’s it
      If they do something wrong then they should be hold accountable that’s like in any job in the world if you do something wrong you hold accountable for it it’s common sense

    2. That’s kind why George Loyd shouldn’t be walking the streets to begin with. Making a martyr of a man who held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach is a disgrace

    3. Thousands??? CNN told me it was trillions. Trillions of unarmed black people were killed by police last year alone.

    4. Murderers in uniform should be locked up first. Killer cops are worse than the lowest street scum gang murderers.

    1. @Greg B the mass media reports what they want to report. Like I said the police are not hunting black people! I’ve been arrested before, the slightest squirm while being cuffed is considered resisting arrest, and will likely escalate the officers reaction. So my advice would be ignore the “resist” bumper sticker meme and comply. A night or 2 in jail, is better than additional charges or physical harm.

    2. Dude…only some black lives matter.
      You know, high on meth and fentanyl and passing counterfeit money. That black life matters.
      Not an Uncle Tom Police Captain.
      Man…don’t be racist by assuming those 2 guys are equal.

    3. Today is a great day for Dorn. He should be happy and smiling down on us. He would be very happy abou whats taking place. Today is a great day for everyone…

    1. nibba yee Ridiculous. Politicians ensure our voices are heard. Take your fascist self elsewhere, lobbyists…, you can take with you.

  2. These black democrat politicians and mayor if democrat cities remind me of samuel L jacksons character in Django

  3. I wonder how much of this legislative reaction will be emotional knee-jerk, instead of calm, impartial, analytically-driven problem solving…

    Edit: hey by the way, was it ever established that the Floyd killing was actually a racist incident? I realize that the trial hasn’t even begun- so no facts have been established- but all this uproar has been predicated upon the incident being racially motivated. (I recognize the separate police brutality element, but most of the focus has been on the racial element).

    1. Kind the same thing with making a man into a martyr that held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach

    2. It’s not so much Floyd in particular, it’s that this has been going on for decades, and statistically speaking, black people are much more heavily effected by police violence than white people. To be quite honest, I’m proud of them for taking the fight back against their oppressors, and would gladly join if such protests were going on near here. It’s hard to call it a knee-jerk reaction when it’s been 150 years since the civil war and we still have this many racists calling the shots. That’s absolutely unacceptable, and needs to be changed. We’ve given them plenty of time to do it, and we’re done waiting.

    3. @ROB112 So your plan is to copy and paste this everywhere, until people decide that it was totally cool for the cops to MURDER a man in the street?

  4. What about the black lives in Chicago? How many black lives have been lost there since the horrendous senseless death of Floyd? 16 year old in Saint Louis? Why aren’t their deaths in your prayers Nancy?

    1. The Tangerine Tyrant

      You do realize that in 2019 twice as many unarmed whites were killed by police than blacks correct? It’s wrong all around no matter who and those responsible should be punished. Here’s one case you probably are not aware of on video. Let me know what you think?

    2. If he does it will be homicides across the county. Democrats haven’t come out with an intelligent idea since the dawn of time.

    3. I can’t believe that old idiot(mitch McConnell) said states should just file bankruptcy. 😂😂 seriously. could you imagine? he’s really too stupid to be holding his position. someone more intelligent needs to being doing his job.

    1. Excellent Idea! Soulflxx, for a Putin bot. We the People will be Starting at the FoxHole. Murdoch and his pack of fascist dogs need a trip to the pound. Bad liars! sit, and stay. 11/3/2020 We the People outlaw lying on TV FoxHoles go on unemployment. Excellent! New order looks great to me.

  5. Why isn’t CNN mentioning George Floyd’s mile long violent police record?
    Or that he was a hardcore ex-con who was committing yet another crime when he was choked.

    1. What does that have to do with how he was handled by the police? He wasnt resisting arrest, and was murdered on camera? That doesn’t justify his past, but him being a felon does not excuse the excessive force of the police department or what these protests are about

    2. Because that doesn’t give police the right to do harm, nor MURDER, especially a person not resisting arrest.

  6. “A profession where you have the power to kill should be a profession that requires highly trained officers who are accountable to the public.” ABSOLUTELY ! ! !
