    The priest has a long Facebook post describing what happened to her. while there are plenty of people commenting her supporting her and decrying what has happened, there is a percentage who are on there saying that it didn't happen, that it's a lie, that it sounds like a story, that it's George soros's fault. I really don't know how we come back from the divisions that have opened up between ordinary citizens.

    We come back from it by doubling down on the protests, riots and all.

    It’s their job do deal with people on drugs.

    Four cops... if he was by himself with Floyd, he has an ounce of defense.

    Four cops should be able to hold down Shaq.

    He will cancel the election before he loses in November. There's nothing to stop him from doing it. Nothing.

    I don't think this had been posted yet, but it's a hell of a monologue by Trevor Noah. Maybe he goes a bit far in support of people looting, especially given that so many of the looters are white, but it is still powerful in the way he connects the dots of the past couple of weeks and the history leading up to it all.

    Regardless of the alleged crime, his criminal history, his medical issues or his impairment level, the video does not lie. He was not resisting at all.
