Mayor Jacob Frey did not over react and protected lives in Minneapolis.

The issue of last night was due to the murder of Mr. George Floyd. Everyone knows that. Mayor Frey did not call for police and/or national guard intervention that would have caused more injuries and deaths. He did exactly the right thing and he also understood the pain of the people.

The people weren't alone last night. Trump said a lot of very ugly things. They were based in hate and q wish for the promulgation of violence.

...Twitter placed a click-through block (click here) on a tweet from President Donald Trump that it said was "glorifying violence."...

There is no reason for control. Nearly every African American death by police is protested. This is the right action for American citizens to take. In Minnesota last night, there were no police injured, there was no citizen injured and there is plenty of room for reflection for the anger in the streets of Minnesota.

There must be a redrawing of the line of police abuse and power. Death of an unarmed, non-violent citizen is definitely a reason for arrests of officers and an investigation to the cause of the death. When a suspicion of guilt is realized by prosecutors, there are normally arrests even without charges. The government has 48 hours to decide about charges before a suspect is released.

These demonstrations are the price that is paid for the injustice of an African American death. The demonstrations are going to occur. Cities having problems with citizens and interactions with police is due to a police culture problem. There is something very wrong when these citizens' murders occur.

What occurred in Minneapolis over the past three days is not due to recklessness on the part of citizens. These were demonstrations of fear and oppression. A man died that should not have died. He died within the methods of the police department. He died at the hands of four officers acting together. They murdered George Floyd. Everyone knows that and any manipulation of the truth will not return trust to the government.

The mayor of Minneapolis (click here) has accused Donald Trump of shirking responsibility and chided the president for insulting him on social media at a time of crisis in his city and the country.

Protests have erupted across the country over the killing of George Floyd, a black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis, that was captured on cellphone video. The city has seen large-scale demonstrations and unrest, as protesters call for the officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck and the three officers who were there during the incident to be criminally prosecuted. Protests, some marred by violence, have also broken out elsewhere in the US.

But, tweeting about an hour after midnight in Washington, Trump launched a Twitter attack on Minneapolis’s mayor, Jacob Frey....
