The mayor of Minneapolis told individuals protesting that their anger is understandable and right" but urged them to make sure they are wearing masks and practicing social distancing during their demonstrations.
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, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Freys office wrote in a statement addressed to individuals who took to the streets following the death of George Floyd while in police custody. The City has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week.
On Thursday, Frey expressed empathy by telling protesters their anger was right.
What weve seen over the last two days, and the emotion-ridden conflict over last night, is the result of so much built-up anger and sadness, anger and sadness that has been ingrained in our black community not just because of five minutes of horror but 400 years, Frey said. If youre feeling that sadness and that anger, its not only understandable. Its right.
Frey continued: Its a reflection of the truth that our black community has lived. While not from lived experience, that sadness must also be understood by our non-black communities. To ignore it, to toss it out, would be to ignore the values we all claim to have. That are all the more important during a time of crisis.

HAHAHA! I love it!
What a joke the Minnesotan Scandicucks have become, electing gayboi Frey and Omar!
They really hate themselves. What spineless wimps, letting everyone else walk all over their “white privilege” LOL.
Be safe while you destroy civilization!
They had a line of resistance composed of National Guard, state police and local cops. As soon as the “protestors” approached, it was withdrawn and the rioters had their way. This is what happens when Democrats are in charge and give orders.
And rapists should wear condoms ... for their own protection, and to avoid leaving incriminating DNA.
Only in Minnesota would we have a surviving Farmer-Labor Party (Maoist-Leninist) ruling the roost.
While rioting and looting
Anyone notice the fawning leftist media coverage the rioters are receiving vs. the hateful coverage the people protesting the lockdowns and wanting to open their businesses?

Exactly.
People who wanted to go back to work were SELFISH.
Rioters stealing and destroying property are victims.
Dangerously stupid...
Last fall he tried to make the Trump team pay a huge fee (about $500,000 IIRC) at the last minute, to pay for security around a Trump rally in Minneapolis. Trump did not let him get away with this attempted breach of contract.
Mayor Frey is definitely in over his head now. What started in MN and is spreading over the country is outrageous and sad.
So glad Fauci and Birx are finally gone.
The mayor of Minneapolis is an idiot.
He (and other Democrats) will NOT be truthful. What he calls “demonstrations” are truthfully “riots”.
He says it’s right to riot, except he won’t use that word.
Then he encourages social distancing and wearing masks. Oh, brother (eyes roll). It’s OK with him to have thousands of people out rioting but not OK with people going to church.
Trump going
“Full Retard”,
.
as long as Trump Winked
After every Presser
I’d enjoy It!
As is,
Wuhan flu,

Stay Strong Trump.
OMG..what a dumbass .....
Amen!
.
I’ll miss the Bandanas!
OMG! LOL!
To the mayor: Two wrongs don’t make a right, stupid. I thought that your mother would have taught you that, imbecile.
**************
A classic example of word salad. Totally thoughtless.
This passes for leadership?
LMAO......Did he also add..obey the speed limit and vote Democrat?
But, he's a lib, so that will never happen.
Yeah, keep even safer by soaking your mask in germ-killing alcohol before you light the incendiary device you can’t wait to toss into the nearest building!
