I had on ABC world news for some ungodly reason just now. They literally said that Trump said during his speech today that it’s a good day for George Floyd today because of the economy. That is an absolute flat out lie. I watched the speech live and in the context he was speaking saying the protesting for George Floyd would make him very happy today. They clipped a section from another portion of his speech and put it with the one he was speaking of George Floyd. This is even bad for ABC and this is a small portion of how horrendous and disgusting the media is right now. They are a flat out embarrassment and a disgrace to this nation and the world.

Maybe it is time to change the 1st Amendment in regards to the media.

It’s completely out of control. Media is supposed to report facts without opinions, and they can’t even get the facts right. It’d make a healthy buzzard sick.

They need to be fair, but they never will be. Too much big money behind it. The big companies need to be broken up and dismantled. Maybe they should be banned from putting their opinions into stories and be forced to report both sides. Right now they only care about 2 thing and they are their agendas and their ratings.

You are right. There was no curfew. But, they was still protesting a hour and half past their permit and there was some small violence.

Correct.

Exactly. The other poster lied, there is and was no curfew. And there was no violence by protestors, but that didn't stop them from being shot at and gassed. And if you think that is an appropriate response, I don't know what to tell you.
Editing to add, please don't like posts that are just obviously lies. It reflects poorly on you.

Wasn’t a curfew but the protest permit ended at 6:30 and they wouldn’t leave, the police tried for 60 mins to remove them peacefully. The police had to use force since the “ peaceful” protesters would obey the rules.

Actually there is no curfew in Huntsville. There permit expired at 6:30...


Earlier, in Huntsville, protesters were marching in the streets after their permit expired at 6:30 p.m. Police ordered all to leave. Police did not act for more than an hour. Then came the the influx of trooper cars and gas. Some protesters fled into one corner of Big Spring Park. Reporters were kept from the site but helicopters were overhead and more gas was used. Rubber bullets were fired. Armed officers blocked access.
