Good morning.With so much going on not sure where to start. First I am feeling hurtful with the protestor and stealing merchandise from stores. Is this America, no it is not.We have not been brought up with violence that is happening around here.Then you expect us to fill sorry. I feel sorry about the incident here and sorry the lost of a person. But I do not feel sorry for the hoodlum that is crashing in stores and stealing. These people are innocent and had nothing to do with this. Is this America.Is this the way that we act.Justice will be served.Destroying property not the right thing to do.How sad is this.Give it time .

Peaceful demonstrations and protesting are one thing. Violence and destruction is another.

I'm sorry to hear that. Whether they are hooligans or a people who simply have nothing to eat? Given the current situation, all business has stopped

@amadeo Maybe it's better that they are hooligans, the police will arrest them, I believe there are security cameras, the bigger problem would be if ordinary people do it because of hunger

Stealing merchandise was not a good way to protest. Now its a big situation going around the world so everyone must stay safe. Like this activities in such a time will surely cause serious trouble.

"Is this America.Is this the way that we act" Sadly Alfredo it is--all through our history there has been violence and demonstrations end up with that along with looting and killing! Look at any movement in the USA and that is there!

Just dropping by to say Hi and send you my good wishes and hope you are keeping well. It is a disgraceful act of disobedience and out right stupidity. Yes protest by all means but peacefully and without violence. The minute they riot rob and pillage then that is when they lose. I am so sorry for the loss of life of that poor guy no one deserves to be treated like that RIP the poor man but the morons are seriously damaging the country. I hope all four officers lose their job the other three for not stopping the other cop killing him. What a waste of a life. Keep well Alfredo.
