Protest going through N. Wilkesboro

Good grief. There WAS a permit and the march was led by a police car (maybe even more than one, I'm not sure) and followed by a police car. As far as shutting down streets, it's not any different from the many 5ks, half marathons and marathons I've been a part of. Streets get shut down for HOURS for marathons and no one complains. What's the difference?

Unfortunately 1048 blacks are expected to stand in line. In the back of the line, and taking a knee isn't acceptable. The teachings of times passesd about whites being the superior race is still alive.

1048 - what happend to Mr Floyd was murder but...we need the police. Should they be held accountable? Absolutely. Should the power structure be reformed? Yes but you are advocating for choas.

You can't win a revolution by standing in line and waiting your turn.

Mich,
See there you go again, without obtaining the proper permits and allowing the police to prepare the planned route bad things can happen.

Well go ahead and drive through protestors and get a murde charge. Best thing I can tell you is find a way around or stay away from areas of protest. Inconvenience doesn't give you the right to harm.

je pense vraiment cela. maintenant le policier a été licencié. également accusé de meurtre au 3e degré. la protestation n'est pas nécessaire. rentrez chez vous, détendez-vous. regardez un bon film, prenez un bon repas du soir. côté État militaire américain. est prêt à être présent. RENTRER CHEZ SOI.

I don't understand the reason for impeding traffic and walking in the middle of the street. A peaceful protest is a First Amendment right. However, it is and should be a crime to destroy/burn businesses and attack innocent people who are trying to go about their day. By the way, the murder of George Floyd wasn't a race issue, it was a crime. The media is all too happy to make everything about race and create hate with the citizens of this great country. No one would have any issues with protests if they didn't turn into riots!

That's why you get a permit, let the police assist by shutting down streets and getting a parade permit and obeying state law, it prevents something bad from happening even if by accident.

Oh no....that you dont do. The last six months i spent in the Army while i was waiting on my medical discarge, i had the honor of serving on a military funeral detail. I probably did 40-50 military funerals in that time period all over NC. If i saw someone trying to disrupt a military funeral, they would be met by a pissed off veteran armed with whatever i could pick up and a lot of righteous violence.

Mich,
Could you imagine driving down a city street rounding a corner and come face to face with a mob, there's plenty of videos out there of rioters attacking people in vehicles, even some being dragged from their vehicle and beaten, the protesters are lucky some of their group wasn't injured. I can promise you this, me and my family won't be dragged from my vehicle.

I'm shocked they haven't had one yet granted I'm sure they've been roughed up a lot over the years. Rightfully so.
