The White House was under a brief lockdown Friday night, as protests over Minneapolis man George Floyd’s death expanded nationwide.
Fox News and other members of the press were immediately moved inside as the White House went into lockdown. A dozen reporters were said to be inside the West Wing.
Floyd, a black man, died in police custody this week after a white officer pinned him down by pressing his knee into the back of Floyd’s neck while Floyd repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was fired and on Friday charged with murder. Three other police officers were also fired but have not been charged.
Protests have broken out across the country. In Atlanta, demonstrators spray-painted and broke windows of CNN’s headquarters.

One protestor climbed up onto the CNN building and waived a “black lives matter” sign as hundreds of other protesters pelted police with bottles.
Police officers reportedly backed their lines away and ordered the protesters to leave, threatening arrest if they did not.
Several of the bottles thrown contained accelerate, and an American flag was lit on fire as protestors yelled at the police, “Quit your jobs.”
President Trump reportedly spoke with Floyd’s family.

Why’d they burn down CNN? They are playing the race card.
They wanted to make the news. Most probably have family that got effd by CNN over the years. It’s not their infrastructure.
That was supposed to be a reply to Katie.I
Someone forgot to keep the crowd following orders. A leader emerged with a different idea and the sheep herded. Like sheep do.
8.0 for style but a 6.4 on technique.
This won’t help:

“Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease,” the report states. “The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”

Hey! CNN got their name on the news!
One of the few rare times any msm agency and the word ‘news’ can be honestly used in the same sentence.
They burned themselves down years ago.
So now that the corona virus scam is fizzling out we can look forward to official martial law and more lock down with ‘the military and other forces’ (words of Don the Con) deployed and at the ready to push the vaccine
‘White House on lock down’ Oh Paleeeeeeeeese!
Don’t be ridiculous … he died of the corona virus.
