  1. Mitch McConnell is going to make sure that no one gets any “heroes act” second stimulus government money. At least not for a very long time

    1. That’s a very good reason to make sure Mich McConnell and the rest of them don’t get re-elected again. They are putting off the bill because it doesn’t contain there tax cut will allow them to cut social security and medicaid. The bill supports vote by mail and the post office. Neither of which they want so they can suppress votes .

    2. @Jack Maley Download and read the bill I did we all can. Pelosi is not to blame here
      Although I agree the bill for direct aid to states the virus and the people should be separate and not contain what the Republicans want either gutting social security and medicaid and voter suppression.

    3. @Alicia Taylor exactly, you can see how much they care. Rather push agenda then help people

    4. @Johnny Casteel You guys are so stupid.it’s PELOSI who’s holding up things.
      In all this chaos you constantly see the demons as good and the people working for you as bad.
      You need discernment.

  2. They did think it’s bad now wait until the verdict comes out saying he’s free or getting 5yrs 🤦🏾‍♂️ they’re gonna burn everything down

    1. We all don’t live PRIVALAGE lives we live in OPRESSED society.. One lady had the nerve to say we should learn so we can earn a good living. Would some one tell her that’s been done we have no chance when good jobs an opportunity are given to the PRIVALAGE white ..

    2. @Linda Love violence will only exacerbate what’s already a dangerous situation. Keep the protests peaceful. The second you restort to violence, you lose the cause.

    3. @Michael Moore Even if he didnt technically strangle him he still caused the heart attack by his actions. He is the cause of death and those other police officers being complicit during the situation are responsible also. I watched the video. That Human did not resist at any moment that I could see. That type of force was unwarranted. All people must be held accountable for their actions regardless of race. This goes on more than most realize even outside of the black community. This is reminiscent of the Tony Timpa murder by police in Dallas a few years ago but, mainstream media doesn’t talk about these murders. There are many. It is such an issue in the black community because it happens at a disproportionate rate for them because there are way fewer of them than whites in this country. But, those same police that are racist have the same view on low income people that are white. This has gone on far too long. No one has ever faced up to them so it has just grown worse. Everyone needs to stop with the race Issue and band together as one. We won’t accomplish anything until we do. The higher powers want races to fight. If we fight each other we won’t have the time or resources to fight them. Nor do many realize that we are all manipulated in to this. I won’t be apart of this until people can come together as One. And as a nearly 50 year old person, I see hoo this country has collapsed. It is time for change. The United States had a good run but, no nation lasts forever. People change, times change, morality changes. We are in a new era.

    1. Oh they don’t even want to touch on that… Tulsa is a made up story all us Black people made up 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️.. we really just made up that story… yeah ok
      Hold this L AMERICA …💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

    2. Horrible. Such misdirected hatred and anger. Riots resulting in violence are never justifiable.

    3. @nancy jeanne prohaska thompson What’s your point? 911 was 19 years ago. We remember those who were sensually murdered then. Are you implying that we should get over it? Majority of Americans either don’t know about Tulsa, don’t believe it happened or think it’s just a plot to the TV series The Watchmen.

  3. When is positive change really going to happen!? All these years of lip service. It’s all blah, blah, blah now to me. Enough words!

    1. Our country will change when all the elder white people who are angry and entitled and think the world owes them something die off and the new generation take over

    2. When black folks stop being indoctrinated by the Democrats. The party of the slave owners and the kkk want you to stay in your ghetto(plantation)
      You don’t vote for Biden you ain’t black!
      Let the weird white people from Antifa act like the pide pipers for black people.

  4. Yes! Creating a national and public registry of misconduct among police officers is a darn good start.

    1. @Mark Hoover Bulls-eye! With a public and national registry, bad cops won’t be able to move to a new city for a ‘fresh start’ without a good hard look at their records from the members of the community they vowed to serve and protect.

    2. @John O how is Trump responsible for riots? I mean, exactly how is Trump responsible? I see a bunch of fellow Americans destroying communities across the country, causing billions of dollars worth of property damage, puting innocent peoples lives at risk, and a lot of small businesses and companies out of business for ever. I’m ashamed to have watched the video of that cop murdering George Floyd with bystanders just watching and video taping it all. I’m ashamed that not one of my fellow Americans had the courage to clothesline that cop to prevent a murder! I’m ashamed at what my fellow Americans have become! I think it’s safe to say Mr Floyd and his family are also ashamed by their fellow Americans.

    3. @ROBERT TAYLOR Beg to differ, people r sik of weak inaction by democrats, while all this is happening China is raping th world, Democrats r destroying black communities, wake up

  5. “A riot is the language of the unheard”
    If you dont like what you see, support ending racial violence, inequality and injustice.

    1. LMAO, I heard alot of political stuff. How is trump the blame. It’s your governor your mayor’s your city council, your senior. They are the people that control your police. Not trump. If that’s the case how many people died by police hands under Obama. Hell of alot more than trump.

    2. @David Webb and now Biden has just given the green light to destruction and WILL BAIL YOU OUT…so the chaos continues

  6. They’re killing us through police brutality as well as with Corona. WE CAN’T BREATH 😷

    1. @N W I’m not about politics I’m about Justice, and in this case, Justice has not yet been served and we’re running outta patients……💀⚔️

    2. Fabion King cop was arrested and charged with murder. Everybody agrees the cop was of piece of crap. I feel bad for the mom and pop places that people are looting and burning…many of whom are owned by black folks.

    3. You guys are going to HAVE to develop discernment.
      CB is NOT your friend.
      He is part of the same group of people who brought this series of chaotic events on us.
      They fear what DT will expose and eradicate their corruption and they work hard night and day to keep the public anxious, alarmed and controlled.
      You dont have to like DT but he won…for a reason.
      They desperately want to prevent his re election. So, its..
      1) Impeach 2) Scamdemic 3) Organized Riots = Rig 2020

      If you have the stomach I will tell you WHY the oppose him like the demons they are.

  7. “In order to lead the people, you have to love the people…What does love look like in public?…It looks like justice.” ~ Sen. Cory Booker, 2020

    1. The mindless sheep are very easily controlled and manipulated. Thanks to them, the government now has a reason to lockdown these major cities, again, in which the riots are taking place. A reason to bring in the national guard. A reason to roll out martial law.

    2. @A R Can I not post a direct quote in peace? Not everyone is here for gatekeeping or triggering pointless debates. Move along, please. Thanks.

  8. How can a person be good, if they remain silent and neutral, when in the face of injustice?

    1. Mark James
      Mark they’re not neutral. They live the dream of living at Trump plaza. Trump and his family, a man who is pilfering the coffers of the
      American people. They know exactly what they’re doing. They just lead a bunch of idiots and suckers who believe their lies. Hood winked and lied too.

      .

    2. Unfortunately the violence and destruction seems to be the only way that the government takes the citizens seriously

    3. @Marla Hill I agree. And it has always been this way. Some people don’t understand, you don’t deserve anything you’re not willing to fight for.

  9. I’m in tears hearing Cory Bookers words and Jake Tappers face covered in sadness.
    What happening in our country ?

    1. Kevin Mezentsev it’s happening in “liberal” cities because the Republicans DO NOT CARE! 🙅‍♂️

    2. Nicole Brown All done said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  10. Senator Booker,
    Thank you for your level-headed, eloquent expression of the reality we are in as a nation as well as the challenging call to all of us to take an actrole role in working to correct and heal the societal cancers that are eating away our country.
    I know as a white male, I am not just sympathetic to the vision you express, but challenged to take more action to truly work for the changes we need both in the structures of our nation, but perhaps even more importantly, in all our hearts so that these changes are truly an authentic expression of who we are as a people. Thank you sharing these thoughts with us and for your hard work in the Senate.

    1. @Bflo BriBean Thank you for your initial response. It’s one of the most thoughtful comments I have read on YouTube.

    2. @Alla Veles Honesty speaking if his IQ is only 45, but we know thats a lie! Really truly speaking you sound like your IQ might be 10, and that really being to generous! Seriously don’t talk about anybody else IQ, just don’t!😄😄😄😚

    3. @Jade Star how can you judge me about my IQ if you born with extra chromosome. seriously, your nurse allowing you to be that late on youtube?

  11. So I look at every one not as just a race but as a American. Cause thats who I really am

    1. Now aren’t those words reassuring? What a stupid thing to say, where are the leadership words? Where are they, not said because Dump does not want peace and harmony, he was chaos.

    1. Like most Americans Jake is exhausted in having to deal with the Bizarre Reality of Trump and his Cult. We are all sick and damned tired of the Bullshit, lies, diversions, damage and destruction of our country and Constitution! If you aren’t tired/exhausted, you are not paying attention.

  12. Why is it that when there are complaints about how situations are being handled there are never solutions offered?

    1. For starters, create a national and public registry to track complaints issued to police officers or something better. Integrity, honor, and fairness among other characteristics must be part of the registry’s best practices of public oversight when it comes to creating a public and national registry that describe what kind of police officer complaint was registered (race-based, gender-based, homicide, excessive force, and so on). Jobs can be created to hire watch dogs who can make sure the complaint is legitimate. The registry can be used much like BBB has ratings. Police districts can be rated according to the number of legitimate complaints. It will be useful information for black families, Asian families, Hispanic families, gay community, and other groups to decide whether they want to live in that police district. If there is a disproportionate amount of racial injustice, it should be investigated. The registry can serve as a public record as to what type of action the community took and what resolution was arrived. People will know what kind of community they are living in and the kinds of people that live in that community. The state governments can use that registry to determine what funds need to be allocated to the districts based on their public service record such as educating the community that racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and other offenses will not be tolerated.

    2. Because they are all making sure that trump has plenty of rope to hang himself with. And trump will oblige

    3. @John Patriot eagle freedom boner Does your statement mean you plan to vote for Joe? Just curious.

    4. @John Patriot eagle freedom boner Every CITIZEN needs to do just what you said. One of our most sacred rights/responsibilities=our vote, our voice. We need to have our election process protected, so we can all trust the results.
      Sad to see how, for a couple days we were ALL on the same page regarding the horror visited upon Mr. George Floyd. Now, chaos rules every city. What this cop did is UNQUESTIONABLY inexcusable. But this insanity is wrong. How the msm frames it as “justifiable understandable ‘protest’!” is typical. They won’t call a riot a riot. How do we “fix” anything in this Nation with such blatant misnomers & outright lies, both in what’s told to us, and what’s left out? There should be zero tolerance for cops who act this way(& from what I’ve heard Chauvin has had several complaints against him) but let’s also include the so-called “free press” as to ‘zero tolerance’ for lies & misinformation. I’m sick of it! Let’s also include zero tolerance for lying, crooked pols. I also heard the cop you see standing to the side, on the vid just happens to be the brother-in-law. (don’t know if it’s true; I also heard the Chauvinist and Mr. Floyd weren’t strangers, & in fact worked at the same nightclub for years.) I’d sure like to know the whole story, wouldn’t you?

    5. @Josh Jacome ReallY? Seems more like, to me, there’s been a concerted effort to hang Trump by the Democrats and the media since before he was inaugurated.

    1. U must vote this racist Republican Party out of power plz help and don’t let them change ur mind with lies and fake news. Vote this republican part out before civil war

    2. My faith is renewed when there are people like Cory Booker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in government to name a couple but there are others.

  13. “A change is gonna come “1964!!!
    The late great Sam Cooke, bless his soul. A plea to heal, and move forward. AIN’T NOTHING CHANGED!! In 56 years! Give it a listen ,and let it wash over you like
    a Baptism!

  14. “It’s not like we don’t know what to do Jake, It’s that we haven’t manifested a collective will to get it done…”
    🙌
