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.”

No mask gonna get in the way of them and a flat-screen..
LOL. So true. Be safe while you are looting and burning.
Also please wear thick gloves as you enter a business to loot.
as you might cut your hand on broken window or door glass.
The Mayor is wasting his breath feral people don’t listen.
Distancing yes, mask no. Healthy people wearing masks is insane.
I read the headline and thought it must be the Babylon Bee.
I checked to see if this is the Babylon Bee. Sadly it is not.
Showing real leadership no doubt
The Mayor is conducting the press conference while hiding under the bed.
LOL!
what a bunch of wuzzies…. a scene coming to a place near you soon....BMA
In this case, the people wear the masks to conceal their identities from any operating video cameras and security personnel. No, the people are demonstrably not healthy; they exhibit a particularly contagious strain of a potentially lethal cocktail of social and mental disorders, including criminal behavior and adherence to the Democrat party.
One of the Rioters said we’re heading to the Suburbs because there’s nothing left here
The politically correct term is undocumented shoppers.

Look up “snot-slinging morons” in the dictionary and these are the photos that are posted as the best current examples in the definition!
he wants the looters to wear masks so they can’t be identified later.
That was my reaction when I saw the headline.
..and use proper pronouns....
Translation: “It’s OK to burn things down, attack old White ladies in wheelchairs, and to steal merchandise, as long as you stay 6 feet apart and wear a mask. And it’s OK to attack Whitey.”
He doesn’t plan to stop them.
This is the same city that gave aid and support to the muzz cop who murdered an innocent Australian woman. There was no mayor giving a news conference groveling and begging for forgiveness. The murderer got 12.5 years in prison.
Your city is being torched and you worry about masks and social distancing. Priceless!!
God help you Minneapolinians.. You’re gonna need it.
The MN National Guard and the Governor have both just HAMMERED the boytoy mayor for his lack of leadership.
There is NO excuse for this police officer to do what he did - he should be fired and imprisoned for manslaughter.
However, George Floyd had a history of violent crime, armed robbery and home invasion. He was not the innocent gentle giant as the looney leftists claim.
It’s the same as Michael Brown who assaulted someone just prior to his attempted arrest. He also tried to get the gun from a police officer in his car, assaulting him the progress and then was shot when he launched an attack against the officer.
There are always two sides to these stories and having watched several versions of the surveillance videos, some are edited and all end just as he is going to the ground catching the one officer by surprise. It also shows him dragging against the officers as they approached the police vehicle.
Passing counterfeit currency is a federal office and with his previous convictions could have meant life in jail for him.
