It’s official. Dumpster supporters have infiltrated this site.
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!
tell me again why we need to defund the Police department?
Sorry, but you chose to protest the police murdering someone on video.
Saying police brutality is bad means you are no longer entitled to protection of any kind.
There is no nuanced stance where we can support good cops but not bad ones. It’s all black and white! Maga again!
Crime has already gone up
Thanks protesters! You can solve the crimes
But you know…”de-fund the police”.
Trumpster Scissorhands is back!
Why were the cops even called? I thought people wanted them defunded. Careful what you wish for.
“The suspect is described as black” so when will astoria start to riot and protest? where are all the white people with BLM signs? lol
Oh, no? Doesn’t really relate to George Floyd’s murder I guess.
See the protestors are protesting his murder, not all crimes that ever happen. Wow you’re REALLY out of the loop, google his name.
