Protesters are protesting...
Looters are looting...
Stop lumping them together.

If this man ran for president, I would happily vote for him. Our two party system is not helping us get the best potential leadership we need.

[TheWorld_]

I LOVE this guy.
This is what a leader sounds and communicates like.
He’s honest and he CARES.

Chicago has imposed an emergency alert @7 pm for 9 pm.-5 am curfew including suspending bus/train service, except essential workers

Atlanta cops pulled a man and woman out of their car, dragged tazed and falsely arrested after breaking their windows. All that I know that became of that is the cops were fired. What about criminal charges?

[ronibinshtock]

There’s a huge difference between protesting and violent mayhem.

[gbjwal]

Very convincing person. Is he big enough to turn that government machine around? Difficult. Country needs justice and honesty with its people.

[Phikay]

Talk all y'all want, give all the excuses you can come up with; but at the end of the day remember where all the looting came from, how it all started. It is the very principal on which this country was founded on. Period. End of story!

0:00 to 1:38 Wow
7:51 "Yes we're loving, even in New York, with a NY accent, with a NY swag, we're loving"
Cuomo for president, always.

Cuomo Forgets it's criminality, systemic and otherwise, that led to the 'criminality' of looting.

So now the most important thing is to review are the actions of the police? You should be ashamed of yourself. I would like to see how you would fare standing in the front line of these protests while having projectiles sent your way. How about siting in one of the police cars that got torched? How about be cursed, shout at and spit at, how long do you think you could take that? The police are extremely out numbered and cannot be everywhere and yes we need the national guard to assist. The protests need to come to an end already. That reprehensible officer has been fired and arrested, the same should go for the 3 other cops that did nothing to assist Mr. Floyd and now is the time to allow the system to work. But if we really are honest, the protesters that are there after the curfew are not peaceful protesters, they are opportunists and criminals that should be immediately arrested after the curfew goes into effect. We have no idea how many are local and how many are from out of state. My heart goes out to the many business and property owners that have suffered through this continuous devastating loss to their livelihood. If you really care about George Floyd, stay home, if you have teenagers and young adults, have them stay home as well, enough damage to all involved has occurred.

I totally agreee with this man. He is right. He should be encouraging change and proper action. We need more good people like Governor Cuomo in our political system--not Trump, not Barr, not Mitch McConnell. We need good, intelligent, compassionate people.

[NSMAG]

Coronavirus? Oh yeeah, I forgot all about that. 🤣

[jayr]

The exploitation is the only reason this is getting so much attention. It MAY be necessary.

[flyfrt]

This man is needed ....as president but he won’t

[andreaharrell]

This man is on point he is absolutely right. ☮☮☮❤

[shauntaybelton]

He is my only reason for missing New York.

[azzibenalal]

Cuomo for president that man is the best?? The president US is a shame

[chriscook]

When the looting starts we start shooting is appropriate meaning if I own a store and you try and loot it and rob the store you're going to get shot by a big scary gun.

We need to reconvene the legislative session this week and pass the bill to repeal 50-a (A2513/S3695), the Police STAT Act (A5472A/S1830B) and the rest of the #SaferNYAct bills. In light of the recent police violence in NY, we are counting on the legislature to move this critical police transparency measure. EMAIL your representatives.
