Target CEO Releases statement supporting protestors: This has "unleashed the pent-up pain of years"

To those who've been critical of the protesters who are looting and burning down Targets -- please, shut up. The CEO of Target has officially issued a statement in response to the nationwide protests in the wake of the recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Geoge Floyd. The CEO, Brian Cornell, penned an open letter in support of the protesters and communities across America that are constantly dealing with police brutality.

"We are a community in pain. That pain is not unique to the Twin Cities—it extends across America. The murder of George Floyd has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. We say their names and hold a too-long list of others in our hearts. As a Target team, we’ve huddled, we’ve consoled, we’ve witnessed horrific scenes similar to what’s playing out now and wept that not enough is changing. And as a team we’ve vowed to face pain with purpose," reads the letter.

It’s hard to see now, but the day will come for healing—and our team will join our hearts, hands and resources in that journey. Even now, Target leaders are assembling community members, partners and local officials to help identify what more we can do together and what resources are required to help families, starting right here in Minnesota."

What’s “ACAB”?

Did the “protestors” only learn three of the 26 letters before they dropped out of school?

His photo explains everything — and I do mean every thing — you need to know about Target’s “open restroom” policy ... everything!

CEO Floyd sounds like the battered wife who finds excuses for her husband’s behavior, or the sexualy abused daughter who defends her father. A sad victim of the Stockholm Syndrome. Who in their right mind would invest in a company run by someone like this?

Know your TARGET!!!

This is my own research that I posted yesterday on another thread. Since this thread speaks specifically about TARGET, I feel it worthwhile to add it here!

Target Corp. is the evolved entity that was the Dayton-Hudson department store chain until renaming in 2000. The home base of Dayton’s portion was Minneapolis where it was founded in 1902 and was merged with Detroit-based J.L.Hudson in 1969. It was in 1962 that the first Target was opened as the discount store version of Dayton’s. The headquarters for Target remains in Minneapolis.

The full-service Department Store division of Target Corp was sold off in the 2000s and eventually became part of the Federated Macy’s chain with many locations closing. Target, on the other hand, is going strong(?) with 1,868 stores world-wide, EXCEPT in Australia where the Target-named stores are unaffiliated and independent.

The immediate preceding Minnesota Governor (2011-19) was Mark Dayton (DFL, Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party), the G-Grandson of the Dayton’s founder. He was also a single term Minnesota US Senator (2001-07) who was succeeded by Amy Klobuchar.

In short, the corporate DNA of Target is LEFT, Progressive & WOKE! Do not shop with the ENEMY!

The Target shareholders won't be happy about this POS. It's time for him to be fired and replaced by a woman with balls.

the goal behind no law enforcement is to create a demand for the UN to “come in” and police

Why weren’t the other ones good enough?

Why this one?

Because media, that’s why.

Target apologizes for being understocked on expensive TV’s and Electronics and being unable to satisfy the needs of all the poor pitiful disenfranchised looters who needed these free items to help soothe the loss of their brother George Floyd.
Target profusely apologizes and is working to quickly reopen stores in affected neighborhoods. The new stores will have no cash on hand, no cash registers, no locks on their doors, and no employees. Customers hereinafter known as looters (aka Targets most valued customers) will be able to just help themselves to the things they need.

This is what you get when Mommy and Daddy put a limp-dicked cuck through college and give him/her/it (depending on their mood and time of day) and MBA degree. You get idiots running multi-billion dollar corporations who have never even operated a lemonade stand or done a day of real work in their life. This is the result.

Precisely why I haven't been in a Target in year.

This imbecile CEO should be informed that rioting, looting, arson, etc. - are crimes against society and Target does not get to decide that they can be ignored.

What a colossal, clueless fool.

I never shop at Target.....their selection is not as good as Sam’s Club or WalMart, and for similar products, Target is higher.
