Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) requested on Thursday that “protesters” in the City of Lakes practice social distancing and wear masks to reduce coronavirus transmission. The municipal government claimed to provide hundreds of masks to the public for this purpose.

Frey’s comments came during ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd, a man who died after a municipal police officer placed his knee on Floyd’s neck while handcuffed.

The city government issued a statement on Thursday via its website with the mayor’s request.

“The City encourages everyone to exercise caution to stay safe while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” the statement reads. “The City has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week.”

what a little bitch Frey is.... is he gay, because he looks like a fruitcake?

[cgbg]

This is the Babylon Bee, right? ;-)

[G Larry]

There is nothing wrong with using tear gas and water canons to stop the RIOTING and DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

This notion of "give them room to vent" is an invitation to anarchy.

[JBW1949]

I thought this was from Babylon Bee....

Is this mayor for real???? What an idiotic and stupid thing to say to people who are stealing and burning your city down....

[Striperman]

Like these idiot protesters,(rioters) really gives a rat a##!

[Texas Eagle]

Ha haaaaa! Arrest those non-mask-wearing miscreants. That’ll learn ‘em. Mess with the tiger and you get the tail, yo. Errrr, is that how it goes?

[facedown]

The comedy just writes itself.

“Is this mayor for real????” Yup! Just as real as the half-wits who put him there.

But not to worry, ‘Mr. Taxpayer’ will rebuild for ya!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yeah I wonder about that too is this the Babylon bee?

Did he really tell rioters to maintain social distancing?

This reminds me a bit of the mayor of Baltimore saying that she was giving room to rioters to Riot.

[1Old Pro]

Yep, all Democrats and their decades of Leftist policies have come around to bite them - their solution, blamed this on the previous 400 years, not the previous 40 years. Blame, point fingers, never take responsibility, it’s the liberal way.

[walkingdead]

Bwaahhhaahaaa, I have been waiting for this. Corona trumps all!

[the OlLine Rebel]

This is pathetic.

What may be more pathetic is the fact that early on, rioters WERE wearing medical masks! (Or was that just Anti-Fa criminal masks? Another reason to hate this dictat that all must wear masks....)

[the OlLine Rebel]

He definitely seems like a weak girly-man, in body, hair, speech, and posture.

[LeonardFMason]

Hmmm. What do they have in common?

Stupid looks on their face?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Exactly. These petty tyrants (I refer to the politicos, not rioters) DESIRE laws that make it easy to pump up their arrest/jail numbers by arresting normal good citizens, so they can look better because they jailed more “law-breakers”!

But meanwhile, do SQUAT about REAL time-tested CRIMES like murder, robbery, rape, etc.

Make sure you stay six feet apart from your fellow looters, er, non-traditional shoppers.

Interesting - haven’t heard yet from that Moslem on this.
