As protests stemming from the death of George Floyd wrack the nation, a number of leading tech companies have offered their support for demonstrators and funding for social-justice organizations.

Twitter Inc. changed its profile bio to read simply “#BlackLivesMatter,” while Alphabet Inc.’s Google said on its main search page: “We stand in support of racial equality, and all those who search for it.”

Google’s YouTube said it would donate $1 million “in support of efforts to address social injustice.”

Major streaming services — such as Netflix Inc.,, Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Video, Walt Disney Co.-controlled Hulu and AT&T’s T, HBO Max, as well as Quibi and Amazon’s Twitch — tweeted that they stand in solidarity with protesters, with Netflix saying: “To be silent is to be complicit.”

They’re hoping that by making these statements that the rioters don’t attack their companies. Good luck with that.

My question as well. Are they saying they are in favor of arson and rioting and Mayhem? Are they saying we have to be tolerant and understanding of violence?

FakeNewsMSM is still ignoring their complicity in the Russia Hoax!

The Federal government should confiscate their wealth to pay for the damages.

Define “protesters.” Does that include rioters and looters? And does “protesters” include people who set up roadblocks on public streets using trash bins, scooters, used air conditioners and other items to impede police advances toward them? They may have not been looters or rioters, but did these "protesters" obey police orders when they failed to disperse? Did these "protesters" peaceably assemble and "protest?"

Depending on who they are giving donations to, they may be supporting terrorists. I hope this ends badly for them.

The country in flames, downtowns destroyed. Major problem for Trump. The left is getting what it wants. This is a coup d etat. The purpose is to get rid of Trump. That explains the extreme hype and obsessive coverage given to it.

Leftist agitators promoted the burning/stealing/assaults in order to destabilize the civil order and pave the way to getting rid of Trump.

Virtually none of them have

A few cases of police “brutality” here and there over the years, yet ignores the daily assaults, murders, robberies, batteries, harassments of Whites, Latinos, Asians, elderly, business owners, etc

Underachievement in the classroom, “acting white’ and other racist cultural practices

And Target, what are the demographics of your shoplifters?
