Peaceful protests turn violent

Joining us on The Morning Show to discuss the protests that turned violent last night over the death of George Floyd, is the leader of the Jacksonville Northside Coalition, who spearheaded one of the peaceful protests, Ben Frazier.

Police reform is badly needed. This was the tipping point.

How about burning down the unemployment office?

I like this man. People should be like him.

Everyone has forgotten God, turning to their own ways.

Small oddity in how we got here.
Officer Derek Chauvin and George Floyd both worked as security guards at the same Latin nightclub as recently as last year, but its former owner says she's not sure if they knew each other. What she is certain of is how aggressive Chauvin became when the club hosted events that drew a mainly black clientele, responding to fights by taking out his mace and spraying the crowd, a tactic she told him was unjustified "overkill."

Love the way the newscaster asked the questions and how the activist message was conveyed to the public. No one here chasing ratings or membership drives. Thanks gentlemen for setting the record straight and for a civil exchange.

Take Heed Washington, people are stressed, broke and Fed Up with our Government

Yeah, I just don’t get the lack of humanity shown by all four officers letting a man be choked to death while crying for help because he may have used a counterfeit $20 bill. And if there were no cameras, all of the cops would have lied, and there would have been no consequences. And instead of solving this problem, cops have been working hard to protect themselves. They wear body cams now, but they can turn them on and off whenever they feel like it and they can edit whatever they release to the public. They say it’s unfair to the officers to leave the interpretation of video evidence up to the public. But it’s apparently fair to take every police report as 100% gospel truth. Yes the camera might not give the whole picture, but at least it doesn’t lie and is unbiased.

Anybody else notice how quiet Congress has gotten after Floyd's death? Usually they have something to say about everything unless I'm just not seeing it.

Violence and looting doesnt help we need to stand together not loot and get violent

THER HAS NEVER BEEN A PEACEFUL PROTEST....LET US CALL RIOTS...

[junepagan]

Thank you Ben Frazier for your message.

[TurnerFoster]

Mr. Frazier has a conscientious vibe and his voice is super powerful and available. He could seriously be a voice in this conversation that is both clear and understanding.

I like how the Onion and channel 4 have the same intro music😆

Materials can be rebuilt the man laying on a slab of ice in the morgue can’t rebuild his life

On the bright side property taxes going down in these cities

It starts as a peaceful protest but eventually one of the protestors will feel disrespected by another one of the protestors and they will start shooting at each other.

What’s this about body cam videos not being allowed to be released?

When Law not being accountability there are no Law.

(Just opening up, ) and suddenly? this bad event with someone dying in custody takes place. Are there "instigators" in these crowds stirring it up ??? It certainly does not help a "cause" using violence. Romans 13:10 to live together, it doesn't work out if we harm one another. Many donot believe in the Word of God in the Bible. But if we are honest; we see the life of Jesus; "very good" no violence and helping others. And he died for everyone. Mr. Ghandi was non-violent. And how many others?? Let us resist peacefully any attempts by others to *provoke/push us via words, actions to harm others or things. Some are mindful, that possibly** this has been a further "set-up" operation similar to co-intelpro, which now has armed guards on the streets basically reminiscent of the 60's?? Romans 12:20/Romans 8:29. Lord bless, sorry to see that the law enforcement could do a simple task...KEEPING A HUMAN ALIVE in their custody. Certainly a huge!! lack of confidence now, in that part of society.
