How to use riots in a sentence?
I want the American public to hear about that, and based on our survey, the American public wants to hear about that. They want to hear the testimony. Brantner Smith know, we have a Las Vegas police officer who is still paralyzed from the Black Lives Matter riots. We have thousands of police officers around the country who are retiring because of post-traumatic stress because of the riots.
I think we need to call this out for what it is: it’s a grift, while there are many good people who associate themselves as BLM activists, the people at the top of the organization couldn’t care less. While the people of Minneapolis, the epicenter of the George Floyd riots, struggle with homelessness, spiking crime, and the nation's largest achievement gap for Black kids, the people sitting at the top of BLM live in multi-million dollar mansions, it’s sickening.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison:
We didn't have to drag all of our officers away from their regular assignments and put them on protests and riots for two, three months straight like some cities, because the protests were peaceful, we were able to keep a lot of officers in communities.
When I started collecting stories, my first few stories were very traumatic. They shook me to the core. I knew riots had happened, but I never knew the scale of the savagery.
One has to remember what the situation was like in Ferguson when I went out there. Street disruptions, nightly riots almost that were occurring, it was a high risk thing for the president and I to decide for me to go out there and see if I might have a calming influence. I think if you see what happened after I left Ferguson, the situation changed and changed pretty dramatically, so I think that was an appropriate thing to do.
