Default Peaceful Protests for George Floyd and to end Police Brutality

The following peaceful Protests will be held in close proximity to the Villages over the next several days. As a great President once said "There is nothing to fear but fear itself". Hope to see you there.

In the 60’s I believed I would see an end to racial discrimination in my lifetime. We were getting close, then in 2017 I began to see this issue slow down, and now it is going back to the 60’s. I will be there.

Thank You for the warning. I will make sure I stay in my home. Cause there is no such THING as a “peaceful” protest. Not in this day and age.

And you shouldn’t blame all Police I find it offensive to bully my policemen and women. It isn’t their fault this happened so why punish them? It didn’t happen here. And the policemen is getting charged. Justice is happening why do you have to continue to protest?

That's fine with me. As long as they remain "peaceful". We'll see.

The issue for most Americans is that the 4 police officers involved in the death, should be charged. No one is blaming all police. Also, it DID HAPPEN HERE. This is the United States of America.

I believe that without the right to protest, this would be a bad country to live in.

Nothing wrong with a protest as long as it stays peaceful

There are peaceful protests, and there's nothing wrong with that. The problem isn't the local protesters, it's the professional agitators sent in by Soros, BLM, ANTIFA, Jackson and Sharpton that cause the problems. And before CNM jumps in, Neonazis, skinheads, and the KKK cause the same problems.

Protest! Close down businesses while you protest. Don't these people ever work? Oh, some are getting paid.

So how many innocent police officers have been injured or killed since this thing got started? Think they will receive any justice? Just sayin.

Given that many studies have shown that in general, the younger generations are a lot less racist, bigoted, xenophobic and misogynistic than the large numbers of old white folks, who will be dying out in coming years...there's still hope for this country.

Was anyone present during the protests of the two police officers who were assassinated in New York? What about when the 48 police officers killed in 2019? NO? That's because there was not protest. What about the looting that took place? What no looting? I'm just saying...
