Good luck, Mayor Turner.  Progressive Democrat mayors: LETHAL for American cities. That is because the criminals and thugs are their voters. The result is often open lawlessness and destruction.

Houston mayor calls for unity, peace amid protests over George Floyd’s death

By Chron, May 30, 2020

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner implored protesters to remain respectful in airing their frustrations over the death of Third Ward native George Floyd, as an initially peaceful demonstration splintered off into groups that blocked highway entrances and threw objects at officers Friday evening.

The protesters would clash with police at several occasions downtown Friday evening. Earlier, the protesters overtook a cruiser a few blocks away, smashing its windshield and windows.

Crowds gathered with Black Lives Matter Houston to protest the death of George Floyd with chants of “I can’t breathe” and “No justice, no peace,” as they trekked from Discovery Green to City Hall. Some were arrested for attempting to block roads, but no injuries have been reported, Turner said. Some police vehicles were damaged, he said.

“It was painful to watch,” Turner said of the video footage of Floyd’s death. “There is a lot of pain and a lot of hurt .. for people all over this country.”

He said police here are working hard to build relationships in all communities and that the city is working to address racial inequities. He asked for the opportunity to continue to improve the situation.

“The frustrations are running very high,” Turner said. “We see you and we chose not to ignore you.”

He added: “The answer is not to tear down cities … People want to be heard. They want change.”

He reflected on a recent spate of police shootings in Houston, and said he remains convinced that they were justified.

“Sometimes the circumstance dictate what the outcomes are,” he said. “Don’t paint everybody with the same brush.”

Ashton Woods, Black Lives Matter Houston founder, said Friday’s rally was to ensure that “people know that they have a place to come and express their anger and frustration.”

What ‘change’ do these rioters and Antifa/BLM activist actually want? Police to ignore crimes if committed by a black criminal? Purge all white police officers from their police forces? Disarm police so only the criminals have guns?
They don’t have an agenda for change they have an agenda for anarchy.

HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, TX, WE HAVE MAYOR MIKE NIRENBERG AKA NERDBERG HARPING ON COVID 19 WHILE HE SEEKS TO KEEP EVERYBODY IN LOCKDOWN TAKING ACCESS TO FOLKS’ PUBLIC STREETS AWAY FROM THEM! I SINCERELY WISH I LIVED CLOSER TO HOUSTON!
WE CAN THANK THE FAILURE OF THE GOP TO NOT LISTEN TO NINETEENTH CENTURY, STALWART, PRES. ABRAHAM LINCOLN REPUBLICAN, ROSCOE CONKLING OF NYC FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL MAJOR METROS BEING RUN EXCLUSIVELY BY democ-RATS TODAY! CONKLING FORESAW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE REPUBLICANS DIDN’T DEVELOP COMPETITIVE POLITICAL MACHINES LIKE HE DID TO CONTROL MAJOR METROS TO COMPETE WITH THE democ-RATS! WE ARE IN THIS SITUATION TODAY BECAUSE OF POLITICAL MISTAKES REPUBLICANS MADE IN THE CENTURIES OF YESTERDAY! IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY IF THE CLIQUE THAT WAS RAISED UP BY MARTYRED PRES ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD KEPT CONTROL OF THE GOP LIKE THEY TRIED TO DO IN 1880 AND WE WOULD HAVE THE CUSTOM OF THREE TERM PRESIDENTS TOO! THE REALITY IS THAT 2 TERMS TOTALLING 8 YRS REALLY ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY A STRONG REPUBLICAN AND I FEAR WHAT THE democ-RATS MIGHT DO AFTER PRES. TRUMP’S 2ND TERM! SUPER SUMMER TO ALL RIGHTISTS!
