A Cincinnati Pastor, City Councilman, and most importantly, father of 4 decried the rioting in his city by calling out the adults trying to push a kid into attacking the police over the death of George Floyd.
His emotional cry for peace went viral on Twitter, and all I can say is the video is enough for you to understand his rage and emotional state.
Excuse my candor but the shit happening down here to police officers that have nothing to do with #GeorgeFloydMurder [1] is so wrong and disappointing. Go home!

I am downtown watching the entire event unfold. I’m in disbelief. This is wrong.

I cannot believe what I’m witnessing.
