I listened to his "town hall" conference call yesterday, and I don't think he's aware of the scale of the police abuse against journalists and protesters. He mentioned police that had been shot, but not David McAtee being killed by the police.
"Something awful happened to George Floyd and that is being handled properly. What is improper is to visit violence on innocent people and businesses and destroy their way of life." Yesterday I joined @JeffKatzshow.

How do you feel about protests in Hong Kong? Do you disavow their struggle to form an independent identity? Do you stand with the repressive Chinese government? Or do you support protests as long as they don't disrupt your apple cart?

It’s not been handled properly. Only 1 of the multiple officers has been arrested, and he was only arrested after protests started. Don’t tell people how to respond to 400 years of being treated like 2nd class citizens.

Something happened to George Floyd? What a weak statement. What happened Denver? Who murdered George Floyd? Can you even say it?

Something awful? Being handled properly? Weak. Either you forgot to start with "I'm not a racist, but...", or you are absolutely clueless about what happened. What is happening. Statements like this are why "something awful" will continue to happen.
