I saw this over on reddit, someone who works for an NBC TV Station said this email was sent around and high ups are trying to get NBC local news stations to participate in their scripted Black Lives Matters PSA while passing it off as 'organic'
I'm not too sure seen as the original OP is over on reddit but I found this article just now:
Los Angeles to defund police department by $150m and instead invest in minority communities
I just saw this on reddit and felt I should share it here as well, apparently it's from 2016 but they he speaks and the words he uses it could be about recent events....
100% Trump is trying everything he can to unite the nation while it tears itself apart. I similarly hope this gets seen by those that need it. I'm also surprised he didn't share this to his twitter, a bit odd that.
I'm loving the 80s synth vibe!
POTUS is a true leader in every sense of the word, I had a tear in my eye while watching this clip!

Here's the full article if you can't get past the paywall:
George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis has revived the Obama-era narrative that law enforcement is endemically racist.
Former US president Barack Obama tweeted on Saturday (AEST) that for millions of black Americans, being treated differently by the criminal justice system on account of race is “tragically, painfully, maddeningly ‘normal’.”
Obama called on the police and the public to create a “new normal”, in which bigotry no longer “infects our institutions and our hearts”.
Democrat presidential contender Joe Biden released a video the same day in which he asserted that all African-Americans fear for their safety from “bad police” and black children must be instructed to tolerate police abuse just so they can “make it home”.
That echoed a claim Obama made after the ambush murder of five Dallas officers in July 2016. During their memorial service, the president said African-American parents were right to fear that their children may be killed by police officers whenever they go outside.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz denounced the “stain ... of fundamental, institutional racism” on law enforcement on Saturday. He claimed blacks were right to dismiss promises of police reform as empty verbiage.
This charge of systemic police bias was wrong during the Obama years and remains so today. However sickening the video of Floyd’s arrest, it isn’t representative of the 375 million annual contacts that US police officers have with civilians. A solid body of evidence finds no structural bias in the criminal-justice system with regard to arrests, prosecution or sentencing. Crime and suspect behaviour, not race, determine most police actions.
Police officers fatally shot 1004 people last year, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53 per cent of known homicide offenders in the US and commit about 60 per cent of robberies, though they are 13 per cent of the population.
The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites last year, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, New Jersey, who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1 per cent of all African-Americans killed last year. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.
On Memorial Day weekend in Chicago alone, 10 African-Americans were killed in drive-by shootings. Such routine violence has continued — a 72-year-old Chicago man shot in the face on May 29 by a gunman who fired about a dozen shots into a residence; two 19-year-old women on the South Side shot to death as they sat in a parked car a few hours earlier; a 16-year-old boy fatally stabbed with his own knife that same day.
This past weekend, 80 Chicagoans were shot in drive-by shootings, 21 fatally, the victims overwhelmingly black. Police shootings are not the reason that blacks die of homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined; criminal violence is.
The latest in a series of studies undercutting the claim of systemic police bias was published in August last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers found that the more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that a member of that group will be fatally shot by a police officer. There is “no significant evidence of anti-black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police”, they concluded.
A 2015 Justice Department analysis of the Philadelphia Police Department found that white police officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects. Research by Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer Jr also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings. Any evidence to the contrary fails to take into account crime rates and civilian behaviour before and during interactions with police.
The false narrative of systemic police bias resulted in targeted killings of officers during the Obama presidency. The pattern may be repeating itself. Officers are being assaulted and shot at while they try to arrest gun suspects or respond to the growing riots. Police precincts and courthouses have been destroyed with impunity, which will encourage more civilisation-destroying violence.
If the Ferguson effect of officers backing off law enforcement in minority neighbourhoods is reborn as the Minneapolis effect, the thousands of law-abiding African-Americans who depend on the police for basic safety will once again be the victims.
The Minneapolis officers who arrested Floyd must be held accountable for their excessive use of force and callous indifference to his distress. Police training needs to double down on de-escalation tactics.
But Floyd’s death should not undermine the legitimacy of American law enforcement, without which we will continue on a path toward chaos.
Being outsider watching what's occurring in the USA I'm shocked... a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer!

Trump is treated like an enemy of the people for suggesting rioters are criminals even though his predecessor got a hall pass for the same thing??

Obama on Baltimore: Violent Rioters 'Need to Be Treated as Criminals'
This is from an Aussie satire site but damn, it's too close to the truth seen as the CIA fund terrorists around the world
It's satire, but because the rioters are vandalising monuments and memorials it'll likely mean money will be spent on improvements to fix the mess
Don't worry it's only Corona Light ;)
Do you have a copy of the picture? I haven't seen that one
Here's the original link if you're interested in having a read - https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/gtkqiw/the_fact_that_two_weeks_ago_you_were_considered_a/
Some of the highlights from comments were amazing
It’s actually kind of fucked up and scary just how powerful media and social media has on people.
Agree. A week ago Elon Musk was treated like he was Satan because he wanted to reopen a factory but would allow anyone who wanted to to stay home. Now the media is openly encouraging people to go out and riot for justice. I'm sure if there is a big uptick in COVID-19 in two weeks they will just blame it on Trump though.
They are potentially killing people while protesting about a dude that was killed. Makes no sense.
As someone said, Covid-19 is like the Vietnam war - at some point it became too expensive so they pretended it was over.
Brought a tear to my eye, POTUS is a real legend!

100%, if this is coupled with the uncle joe/dementia videos, plus the shoulder touching/hair sniffing of kids clips on top of the sexual assault allegations. If all that doesn't change peoples minds, nothing will!
This guy is such a deepstate plant. As much as they try to cover it up, it is coming out.

Epstein island, Little Saint James is a private island of the United States Virgin Islands, off the coast of St. Thomas
Water Island is a 500-acre spit of land in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In May 2005, James Biden and his wife, Sara, purchased a one-acre plot of land in the middle of the island, according to property records. Tax records describe the view from the property as “excellent.” The price: $150,000. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/28/james-biden-lobbyist-virgin-islands-099318
Scott Green, a lobbyist with close ties to Joe Biden, purchased Virgin Islands property from James Biden and then extended him a private mortgage. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2020/01/28/lobbyist_bought_tropical_land_from_bidens_brother_499491.html
A new theory has emerged speculating that Ghislaine Mawell could be hiding in a submarine after it was revealed she had a licence to pilot "submersible vehicles" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jeffrey-epsteins-alleged-madam-ghislaine-21607415
While the rest of the Danish West Indies were purchased by the United States in 1917, Water Island was not purchased by the U.S. until June 19, 1944, when it was purchased for $10,000 to protect the submarine base on Saint Thomas during World War II. http://www.waterislandhistory.com/militaryhistory.html
