CNN anchor Chris Cuomo raised eyebrows on Tuesday night when he suggested that the George Floyd protesters don't have to be "polite and peaceful."

Cuomo blasted those who believe the national "problem" is the riots that have taken place following the death of George Floyd and not the police brutality that prompted the nationwide protests.

"Now too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets: persistent, poisonous inequities and injustice," Cuomo told his viewers. "And please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Because I can show you that outraged citizens are what made the country what she is and led to any major milestone. To be honest, this is not a tranquil time."

So Fredo is for mob rule and Michael will have to kill some of them if he wants to keep his job. Next time the loser Cuomo brothers do their Smothers brother routine should be interesting.

Or is this CNN lining up behind the RIOTERS? More support for the anti-American, lawless left?? How can it get any worse?

That’s exactly what I meant by “useful idiots”. That phrase has a history.

...please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

Amendment I, “... the right of the people to peaceably assemble.”

CNN is ATT

It’s ATT that’s inevitably endorsing the rioting.

"Now too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets: persistent, poisonous inequities and injustice," Cuomo told his viewers.

No, it is government employee unions that protect bad apples like the cop that killed the man in question.

A cop that is investigated by Internal Affairs 17 times and is not fired because his supervision is afraid to take on the union, that is a problem.

Democrat politicians that are beholden to the government unions and provide cover to the unions, that is a problem

"And please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

Ah, another Ivy League idiot that doesn’t read the Constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

If you are not peacefully assembling to petition for redress of your grievances the government is free to throw your tuchus in the klink.

I agree with you and have for a said for a long time that what the black community needs is intact traditional families.

Fathers that enforce discipline and Jewish mothers that make sure that learning is a family value.

The reason that I say Jewish mothers is that no community in world has suffered longer or more universal discrimination than the Jews and yet they have successful learned people everywhere they have a community.

There influence out strips there numbers everywhere.

If the Black community were to emulate the Jewish community they could not help but improve their circumstances.

Paging Chris Cuomo. Memo for Chris, we’re all fed up to HERE!

“Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, [Chris]. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.” — A very wise person from some time in the future.

Mentally #SMH

I was hoping the attack on the CNN office would turn the network against the rioters. As the saying goes, “A conservative is a liberal who got mugged the night before.”
