Minneapolis victim of police brutality, george floyd. And demand Police Practices not only in minneapolis where a Police Officer is charged with killing floyd, but around the country.

Too often some of those demonstrators and protesters turned to violation, to arson, to vandalism, to looting, to assault and even murder. Given leave to take the streets by radical dem leaders, leftwing activists and the alwayscompliant and sometimes cheering socalled news media and, of course, hollywood.
