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."

Great minds........
Why doesn’t he close all Target stores? Is he only closing them in areas that serve a large black population? Is he a racist?
Good point, and yes, he is a leftists, and all leftists are racists.
It’s only 7-8 dollars from 52 week High.
That’s it - give in to the tantrum - that always works. (Rolling eyes)
So I guess I’ll just mosey on along to target get a bunch of groceries and may be a TV sit and walk out! Hey there’s a lot of pain bottled in my person too! What an idiotic answer what a stupid CEO idiot !

Well, bye, AGAIN, Commie-siding Target.
Well, Brian, get your CV ready.
J C was hanging from the ledge for the past year.
Maybe your troubles will be over soon.
Exactly.
What a two-faced Karen this putz is.
This a$$hole CEO is telling the rioters to please continue looting Target stores. What a dope!
How would you like to be a shareholder of Target stock right now?
This CEO wants to lose ALL Target stores, everywhere.
Is hiphopnews a credible source? Not that it doesn’t sound like something Target would say.
Glad he accepted his guilt. Target is the pits. Appeasing the mob, probably will stop the violence....oh...wait...historically it hasn’t.
No more shopping at Target.
