Just another communist WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION PROGRAM from the Dung Beetle Partys’ turd rollers. That’s all communist pigs do, steal from those who work for a living. Bass Turds.

Gee, I thought from the headline they were going to have to pay out to innocent citizens injured by the rioters that the cities allowed to run rampant. Paying the rioters is just a sick joke.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m guessing this is black people getting paid by white tax payers because black people did bad things to the black people. Because racism. Or Climate Change.

“Racial justice protests”? Code word for “violent riots by the left”.

[Magnum44]

And what of the billions in damages these miscreants foisted on small business across the country? Oh, wait, thats insured... /s

[Rurudyne]

They should have used lethal rather than non-lethal force of AntiFa and BL(don’t really)M rioters and looters.

[Bon of Babble]

Money should be used - and it won’t be enough - to repair the destruction done by these violent anarchists.

at least 19 US cities will pay more than $80m total to protesters who sustained various injuries as a result of law enforcement action, ranging from being teargassed to being shot with projectiles, and have filed dozens of civil lawsuits.

That'll teach those cops not to go about enforcing the law just to protect people and property. /sarc

George Floyd was not murdered. He died of a self-administered fentanyl overdose.
The whole escapade is a dishonest sham. Officer Chauvin restrained a drug crazed
addict, an addict who would later die form his own overdose. This was confirmed
by the medical examiner's autopsy.

Floyd was a violent career criminal with a long history of arrests and convictions and prison time.

Fools and their money soon part company.

[asinclair]

Question: how many of those cities have Democrats running their government?

[D_Idaho]

“Fools and their money soon part company”

Correction. Fools and YOUR money are soon parted.

[[The brutal murder of George Floyd]]

Disinformation!

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Does setting fires earn entitlements?

[Cobra64]

You can’t fix stupid.

[bobbo666]

And, this is all paid for by the states. These are Covid relief funds that were promised by the DNC — if an only if BeijingBiden is installed into the WHouse.

[Carriage Hill]

“The brutal murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers...”

Quit reading right there.

[vpintheak]

More government grift and fraud going to their preferred people.
What crap.
