NBC is prohibiting reporters from using the word “riot” in its coverage of violent outbursts in Minnesota that have occurred in response to the killing of George Floyd.

“While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as ‘protests’–not riots,” NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.

if white people ‘protested’ and looted stores, libtard media would be correctly calling it ‘rioting’

[VideoDoctor]

Instead of “riots” we’ll be “politically correct” and refer to them as “aggressive gatherings.”

[BBQToadRibs]

I was unaware protestors walked away with a new 50” flat screen smart TV.

[cgbg]

Think of it as diversity in action....

[al baby]

Be great to see someone photo shop Mary Richards tossing her hat up amongst the burning bulidings

[Leaning Right]

They should just use that popular Minnesota phrase “some people did something”.

[Bullish]

You won’t get any truth or sense out of the communists at NBC news.

[stuckincali]

maybe someone will get a Nobel for stealing the most flat screens.

[lee martell]

Shades of Bengazi!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Without their latest race war, the democrats have no chance of winning in November.

So, how many more cities will they burn?

[Ed Condon]

n.
A violent disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled for a common purpose.

This definition works for me. Maybe Craig Melvin needs a dictionary.

[lee martell]

These people are fouling their own nests.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Well then, she should talk about that wryuts then.

[xp38]

The Clash did their best to reverse the trend

[butlerweave]

Omar’s People ?

[Bullish]

We can all hear you without SCREAMING in all-caps.

Riot definition is - a violent public disorder; specifically : a tumultuous disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled together and acting with a common intent.

Protest definition is - a solemn declaration of opinion and usually of dissent:

Someone needs to send this clown back to school.

[Old Yeller]

Ok, no rioting. Looting is more appropriate anyway.

[butlerweave]

Well it is distracting from the Dem’s lock-downs

[Menehune56]

Maxine Waters insisted on the term “uprising” for the Rodney King riots as I remember to this day.
