Reporting from Minneapolis, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi described rioting over the tragic death of George Floyd as “not generally speaking unruly.” At the same time, a building burned behind him, and the chyron mentioned the destruction of a Minneapolis police station.
WATCH:
MSNBC reporter says “I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly.”
As a building burns in the background…

While the vast majority of protesters have been peaceful, unrest is affecting daily life in parts of the Twin Cities. Five hundred members of the Minnesota National Guard arrived late Thursday to “protect life, preserve property and the right to peacefully demonstrate.”

Townhall’s Matt Vespa reports:
Craig Melvin tweeted, “This will guide our reporting in MN. “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.’”

Craig, the National Guard is not deployed for protests. Let’s try and get a grip here. Our own Julio Rosas is on the ground in Minneapolis right now. He was near the police headquarters before it was overrun by rioters. He’s covered multiple protests, some with very hostile crowds, and he’s never seen anything like what he’s experiencing in Minneapolis.

This is the mainstream news media in 2020.

STFU!!! LIAR!!!!
A riot is a riot and if the local police cannot find out who is doing it we need to send in the FBI to investigate. It was horrible that Mr. Floyd was murdered by the police officer who was acting maliciously as well as his fellow officers that stood by and did nothing. I respect the police and I back them every day but this guy was a rogue element and must be tried for murder. These riots are no done by local mourners and I respect their right to protest. These riots are done by outsiders and opportunists and they need to be put in prison. They can investigate who they are by looking at the multitude of camera shots taken during the riots. This is exactly why companies don’t build stores in low income areas, which is sad. I will bet that the majority of black people that work every day and follow the law are embarrassed by these peoples conduct and it doesn’t help anybody. Two wrongs do not make a right!
Ali must be a muslim. To muslims, such “protests” are mild. I wonder what it would take for him to get upset???? LOL
Folks, how do muslims get a say on our news and TV reports? Why those who declare that we are their enemy take such prominent positions?
I will tell you why. We have left God, Jehovah and serving Jesus Christ. We are now under judgement. And what the muslims do to just about everyone most certainly is JUDGEMENT.
Is this guy on the same planet as me? Maybe there should be a “protest” in his neighborhood.
I just got finished making a post to another story (about Biden not actually saying “you
ain’t black”) accusing the person of visiting us from an alternative universe. Planet/Universe
it seems we are thinking alike! Perhaps in the infinite alternative universes there is one where
the protesters are conducting candle vigils and Biden did not say “You ain’t black” to a man
of color who happens to favor Trump. Have a good day.
I have seen Bidens video 10 times or more and he did say you are black… Whre do you dems live?
Do you ever proofread what you post?
Like those scumbag communist propagandist ever tell the truth!
MSNBC is not capable of telling the truth I live in Minnesota and these are riots not peaceful protests. Most of these people aren’t there for the man who died they are there to burn and loot period. These so called reporters need to cut the bs.
All he needs is the emperors wardrobe, a fiddle and a calculator to be able to add up all of the 800 lb elephants in the background.
Blacks never protest they riot, burn, destroy and steal.
I was a Police Officer in Los Angeles County for over twenty years, saw the Watts Riots, the East L.A. riots, the Pomona Riots, and another various and sundry protests. Looking at these via TV I do not see any difference. Regardless of the so called cause, despite what Ali Veshy sees, these are rioters, arsonists, burglars, and numerous felons to numerable to mention. The media should cut the crap and describe what is really happening. The blacks have used this excuse for being totally felons for years, accompanied by many white want “a be’s” they stupidly loot and burn their own town down and later blame others that they have no shopping areas or services. Get REAL.
A new Bagdad Bob!!!!
Any one who’s been watching this guy Ali Velshi is a Muslim
communist sympathizer American hater that is raised here in America. Just look who he works for and he’s #1 Trump hater. Listen to all his comments about our government and especially the current administration. Nothing good come out
of the bald headed facelips. Tries to disguise his Arab bloodline
by shaving his head. Not good.
funny how most of these riots are cities and states run by democrats.i bet nobody hear knows who was the prosecutor who didn’t file charges against this rogue cop after as many as 10 complaints were filed against hi over the years including one shooting death.i for one hate to see riots but peaceful doesn’t seem to fit their narrative.it justs keeps the racism going!
Would you be referring to the governor of the great state of Minnesota?
A newsie lying.
What a shock…
It’s no wonder we refer to these people as MSLSD.
