Police didn’t stop the white nationalists they said made a mockery of the George Floyd protests and used real protesters as human shields, but in city after city police forces largely appear to be the aggressors against protesters and even journalists tonight.

"I’ve covered protests involving police," writes @mollyhf from Minneapolis. "I’ve also covered the U.S. military in war zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan. I have never been fired at by police until tonight." https://t.co/v45qwv82S3 pic.twitter.com/7bcUtcLYIs

Let’s hope that on every city things will calm down! That everyone will be safe! But we need to listen, to the many afroamericans frustrated by how Society is treating them… too many black men incarcerated, too many blacks dead week after week.let’s talk, let’s heal! @JoeBiden pic.twitter.com/m9LQ89AFCx

People have a right to be angry about George Floyd’s needless death, but an upsurge in Covid-19 deaths is likely to be a result of the riots, @opinion_joe says https://t.co/UDVv57Z6yT via @bopinion

Despite all of the heartbreaking images being shared of America in crisis, I’m moved by the images of Americans coming together.

Feel free to reply to this thread with those images that inspired you. https://t.co/CJ9xs6bGqp

I hope all this violence stops before anyone else is hurt. And I hope all of you arguing that these past two days are going to show America just how important it is to get rid of Trump are right.
But historically, riots benefit the GOP, not the Democrats. This is a fact.

As is inevitably the case, a bad week for America is a good week for Trump. His only chance is chaos and conflict. If extremes on both sides rule the day, an authoritarian figure becomes more attractive.

Boris Johnson’s defence of his cherished aide Dominic Cummings ⁠— when the evidence against him seems so clear to everyone ⁠— has angered and appalled the public at large, Tory MPs and the Tory press in equal measure. https://t.co/aqiC8lWSqP

UK leading public health professionals say Cummings has wrecked Tories handling of #Covid19 strategy. @BorisJohnson is putting many more lives at risk by clinging to his ‘adviser’.
Why?

Cummings has broken Covid-19 policy trust, say top scientists https://t.co/oBZnM184mG
