    Default The Floyd video

    I can’t watch it any more. I turn it off if I see it starting, because it is so incredibly upsetting. I start to feel nauseous.

    Question- do you think continually showing it is spurring on more protesting? Or rioting? Or have they taken on a life of their own, and the reactions are unrelated at this point?

    I tried once to watch ... couldn't watch it more than 30 seconds.

    I do believe repeatedly airing it inflames the issue.

    However, I'm glad the situation was filmed so there is compelling evidence.

    It will continue to embolden those who post black lives matter stuff on Facebook. And if you say all lives matter you will be attacked much harder and more frequently.
