Not even CNN was safe from the George Floyd protests, some of which have devolved into rioting. Minneapolis is instituting a curfew over the weekend, as the mob took over the streets last night. It was mayhem. Looting and vandalism were pervasive. A police headquarters in the Mill City’s third precinct was torched.
In Washington D.C., protesters descended upon the White House, forcing the Secret Service to lock it down for nearly an hour. Luckily, it’s a protest in the capital. It has not become a riot, at least not yet.
In Atlanta, state police had to be dispatched to the CNN headquarters there, as crowds became aggressive. Not even the staunchest anti-Trump network in the country could escape being put in the crosshairs of the rioters.

Remaining rioters are heading down Marietta Street destroying property and breaking glass in front of Centennial Park. Businesses are being broken into as darkness falls.
The police are preparing to end this riot. pic.twitter.com/5q86ZyHkWk

Something tells me the tone of the coverage is going to change once news headquarters getting smashed instead of small businesses in Minneapolis…this is wrong no matter who it’s directed at. https://t.co/cd3yp5U1cp
