'Do not demonize the people that are being beat and battered in the streets,' Chance the Rapper tweeted
Chance The Rapper during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Oct. 24, 2019.The Chicago MC took to Twitter on Saturday to address protests in Los Angeles, New York, San Jose, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., where citizens are flooding the streets over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.
"If you hold a pen at a publication, this is the time be carefully intent with your words. Do not demonize the people that are being beat and battered in the streets," Chance wrote."Damaging property is not violent. But the actions of the state have been. It must be documented justly." Earlier this week, a video of Floyd's death surfaced showing Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the neck of Floyd for eight minutes. Chauvin was later charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd.
Some of the protests over Floyd's death have resulted in property damage, looting and traffic disruption, while many others have been peaceful. If you hold a pen at a publication, this is the time be carefully intent with your words. Do not demonize the people that are being beat and battered in the streets. Damaging property is not violent. But the actions of the state have been. It must be documented justly.
