Without accountability, there will never be equal justice for anyone.

Its amazing that both the left and the right absolutely despise this man. It just goes to show you how terrible a leader he is.

[MrHyde-wvwi]

Amplifying HATE and DIVISION isn't going to go good for you... God Bless America Long Live the Republic...

[blahblah]

Start a protest

MAKE MY CITY SAFE AGAIN!

[mvttblvc]

why is the sign language interpreter blocked by the logo

[klondikeblame]

City's gonna burn and De Blasios just gonna watch.

[Aspeneatscheese]

NBC. Move your symbol off the face of the sign language interperator. WTF is the matter with you!

[freitas]

sue de blasio for not protecting peple's business and property.. What are people paying tax for

[chrismoses]

“Hi, I’m Bill Deblasio. I’m a total dumbshit when it comes to governing a city and knowing how to stop looting and mayhem, but I am making sure your drinks aren’t full of too much sugar!”

[grendel]

They sure have the cash when it comes to paying "Tens of thousands of police to protect your right to protest peacefully " But not a dime for police accountability .

[jam]

The NBC logo is blocking the sign language.

[tiangong]

Celebration? celebrate what? celebrate NYC at the top of COVOID death toll? or looting is breaking another record?

[mauricewilliamsreborn]

NBC has to do better job with the video presentation of the conferense. It will be much smarter to do NOT put TV channel logo on the figure of sudotranslator. I assume that it was done unintentionally, and probably is an easy fix.

“Pick a knee. The one that knelt on a neck or the one that knelt to try to prevent it.” This is a borrowed post but, to valuable not to repost a zillion times.

Para cuándo reabren los restaurantes? Información por favor gracias

[bkjane]

Can’t believe this guy had the audacity to run for president. What a joke🤦🏽‍♀️

[notdamomma]

Everything of value has been stolen. How many have been arrested for the looting?

[annamendoza]

Why did it take the video footage to be displayed on news coverage of these injustice acts by again Crooked Cops for you to do something ??? Isn't that a part of what these protest are about or do you still NOT want to see it either ! ! But, you are now forced to see it & speak about it because the footage was publicized. You should of put your foot down before hand and spoke with all them Crooked Cops demanding that those type of actions would not be tolerated before they were put on the streets to over see the protest!! So, are you stepping down from your position, seems to me like you should !! Such a bunch of BS!!!

[ilovegigixo]

Nbc you really put the logo over the interpreter?

[garygrant]

Now that you mentioned how bad certain police officers behaved and the investigations, what are you doing about the looters, leaders of the looting and those who promoted major disturbances.
The police had their hands tied during the looting and yes some may have reacted wrong due to what they were seeing and the behavior of many protesters.
Who sent messages on where the police were and weren't to loot and destroy many stores.
Without the police Mayor, your city will fall to anarchy since the police are now too scared to make an arrest in the future, and may just as well turn their backs to crime.
Your briefings, with that attitude toward your police, will come back to haunt you and will make visitors think twice before visiting your city.
