The mayor of Minneapolis told individuals protesting that their anger is “understandable” and “right" but urged them to make sure they are wearing masks and practicing social distancing during their demonstrations.
“The City encourages everyone to exercise caution to stay safe while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s office wrote in a statement addressed to individuals who took to the streets following the death of George Floyd while in police custody. “The City has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week.”

Mr. Mayor Bozo Clown these are no longer protesters these people are rioters who need gas masks if anything while looting and burning. Social distancing is running from the cops with big screen TVs while drinking booze.
What an idiot.

I felt sure this was a satire piece from The Onion or the Babylon Bee, but no, it’s a real report. And in other news, apparently some are swooning over the mayor’s good looks and comparing him to Justin Trudeau. Good grief! Could this get any weirder?

"...urges looters to wear masks before picking up that tv set at Target". That's probably more like it.

Goofball... panderer... Considering he probably had a hand in planning the protests - check to see if any of her active supporters were harmed. Check to see how many people who spoke out against him and the Democrats, lost their livelihoods.

Are you freak'n kidding me? I had to double check that this wasn't from "The Babylon Bee" or "The Onion."
Nothing like a good Democrat leader to focus on what is really important in a time of crisis, looking out for the "safety" of looter's and pillager's. They can't afford to lose any of their voting base.

This hapless dolt needs to be forcibly removed from his office and Minneapolis needs to start having a clue about who they elect. Shuts the police down, politely invites these organized thugs to burn his city down, then frets about masks and ‘social distancing’ like these animals are going to stand 6 feet apart. I don’t know how he could be any dumber.

It's terrible to live in a City with a mayor who is a blithering fool. Rioters wear masks to hide who they are, not because of a virus.

Say, what!!!! They'll wear masks in order to hide their identity not to be safe. The Antifa group who are controlling these riots are just taunting the police in order to get them to shoot someone so they can continue their lies. The dead will be collateral damage in this war. Yes, I call it a war. This is scary.

Frey is an idiot! It may be ‘right’ to feel angry and sad because of the death of George Floyd!
There is no RIGHT to destroy this or any City! Where are the Police? Where is the National Guard?
There need to be arrests of looters and rioters!

Given the other posting about the women drooling over his Trudeau level looks (allegedly), this guy sounds like he is too dumb to make himself a sandwich. Masks and social distancing? Seriously mayor? To borrow a comment, this would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Has anyone ever observed a weaker, and more ignorant person than Jacob Frey?. The man is a doormat, shoe marks all over his face. Frey believes in violence and rioting. The only thing Frey would ever stand against would be conservatives or church services. Frankly, I no longer care a whit about Minnesota.

Unreal.
"Kids, enjoy yourselves. Work out your understandable anger. But be careful. Wear your masks. Practice social distancing. Let us know when you're done burning and looting so I can tell our cops it's safe to come out again...I mean if you haven't burned down all their police stations."
They really elected this guy as Mayor?! And they think he's "hot"? OK, burn the whole dang place down to the ground. All of it.

What??? No wonder that these weasels move into a city and do complete disaster with their looting, burning buildings and all the rest that they are paid to do. Thank you Mr. Mayor......now what about other mayors. Send them an invitation to come to your city and leave it in shambles. This mayor should be arrested for aiding and abetting the criminals who destroyed this city.
Soros will probably keep this crap going until the Nov. .election in his effort to bring this country down.

Another well trained executive to run our city. Yea, a school teacher. Still better prepared than the President obama was so ill prepared his actions caused the action today. Rule of thumb - do not elect liberals to positions of authority

Here's a hint. When looting the Target store
, be sure there is one big screen tv between you and the other looter.

The city provided masks to the protestors. UNBELIEVABLE!
The good mayor of Minneapolis appears to have his priorities wrong. He should know better. What a fool. The people of Minneapolis will be fools if they ever re-elect this cretin. Its not only masks and social distancing, did Minnesota enact any restrictions on the size of social gatherings? On the positive side, this might be the death knell for all the CV19 restrictions. They will enforce them on Conservative or right wing rallies, but not for left wing rallies? Really? They can't have it both ways.

What this idiot leftist liberal Democrat Mayor was actually saying was be sure and wear a face mask when you go about burning down and looting all the grocery stores and other critical businesses that served your community so that you don’t pass on the COVID-19 virus to other rioters. Of course that is in keeping with that Mayor’s expressed thought that the human life of the rioters is a higher priority with him then business buildings and property. Remember those rioters are just about all members of a liberal Democrat identity based constituency those votes keep that Mayor in office.
