Former President Barack Obama on Monday published a piece on Medium addressing the nationwide protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd -- laying out his ideas for how the country “can sustain momentum to bring about real change,” while also deriding the violence and looting that have occurred on the fringes of some demonstrations.
“The waves of protests across the country represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system in the United States,” Obama wrote. “The overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and inspiring. They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation.”
Thousands of people have gathered in cities across the country over the last few days to protest the police brutality and racial injustice following the death of Floyd, the Minneapolis man who died in police custody May 25 after Officer Derek Chauvin pinned down Floyd and kneeled on his neck for more than 8 minutes in a moment caught on cellphone video.

There. Fixed it.
If only he were President, I’m sure he’d lead this country to racial nirvana. Matter of fact, lets give him a prize even before he gets elected.
Not.
Translation: “Confiscate all guns from Americans and give them to Antifa”
Obama, VJ and Holder are running this show.
Q: How did VJ get her security clearance?
Q: Why has Holder been hiding in San Francisco for 3 years?
Obama, you had 8 years.
You fanned the flames of racism.
You weaponized the intelligence and justice departments.
You had the worst economic recovery in decades.
If they truly follow the money behind the looting/riots, I’d bet good money this SOB is involved.
What he means is he wants to fundamentally transform the United States of America PERMANENTLY into a Communist Country, and you know what, they are very close to doing just that, closer than I ever imagined possible
GFY, Barry. Instead of running off at the mouth, you really should be thinking about leaving the country.
ESAD, Licorice Stick.
No doubt that jackass is part of the instigating cabal.
8 years of blaming the cops and Whitey sure helped everything.
Oh. Okay. Duly noted.
What about the underwhelming minority that have been rioting, looting, setting fires and pelting cops with bottles? What do they deserve?
Obama’s DOJ showed the type of corrupt change he wants in this country.
Doesn’t obama OWN at least one of those “ decades of failure”?
C’mon people, wakey wakey
NBA great Dennis Rodman called for an end to looting in response to the death of George Floyd, telling his social media followers Sunday that “we’re human beings, not f–king animals.”
He had his chance, and intentionally screwed up race relations. Now he wants to “solve” it. Typical for a politician, especially at ‘rat politician.
Take a hike, Bammy.
