I actually do hate to see it. A lot of these business owners didn’t ask for this

Maybe some are asking for it.
Ok this guy is an idiot.

The merchants “feel they have been the sacrificial lambs” in the city’s response to Floyd’s death, according to the fundraising page.
“In the fight for justice we must not forget the fight of economic justice of (a) once-thriving community,” the page said. “We business owners know that the fight for justice doesn’t just include justice from the legal system, we must also include justice for business impacted.”
Maybe some are asking for it.

Phil Khalar, a member of the group that oversees the memorial, said the merchants’ complaints are part of “a false narrative.”
“It’s not like we are telling delivery drivers or customers not to come in,” he said. “This area has always been violent.” Khalar said Bloods gang members “keep us safe in their own way.”
Ok this guy is an idiot.

No sympathy from me on this one.
Maybe they’re failing because the police brutality problem is actually a personal behavior problem in the black community.

Black merchants near the once-thriving corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue said police have abandoned the blocked-off intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone that has seen crime spike and business evaporate.
Hilarious!
Let them eat cake.

None of this is the fault of black business owners, and I doubt many of them wanted a police free zone.

This seems a little hyperbolic though.

Actions have consequences
This needs to happen more to change the minds of "woke" citizens and SJW's.

Yea - paying someone off to not rob you is really keeping your safe.

I didn't cheer but I was glad to see it.
I am glad he can no longer protect and serve.

I'll bet 90% voted for people that support rioting and looting.

The police left you with no food or water? You can’t walk a block? This doesn’t even make sense
