“It feels like it’s just been an endless cascade of hashtags of black people dying ...There’s always going to be a breaking point. I think right now, we’re seeing the breaking point around the country.” - Christine Ohenzuwa, 19, in St. Paul, Minnesota.pic.twitter.com/DSrbj6OiSH
“This has to change. Something has to give. We’re done. This is the beginning of the end of something. It has to be.” - Aisxia Batiste, 39, of Orlando.pic.twitter.com/O7kKcnkz31

Look at all the protesters socially distancing. lol
Yeah, I'm sure people who were beaten to within an inch of their lives by looters, or had their livlihood ruined have an "obscured vision" of these"protests"......
@AP why aren’t you showing the people beaten and attacked?
Why these photos and ledes as if some of these people didn’t throw bricks, frozen water bottles attacking police?
Because you’re Democrat propagandists.pic.twitter.com/HW6rQ29UVF
Glad to see these protesters are practicing social distancing. It'll help slow the the spread of COVID19.......
Look at the crowd, multi colored, peaceful, multi denomination, multi political. They bring this to me in media. And they are the ones that stand in front of stores and protect the businesses from looters with their outstretched arms.
