The horrific death of an unarmed African-American man, George Floyd, in police custody has resulted in thousands of protesters flocking to the streets. Curfews have been imposed across many cities in the USA with the rise of the civil unrest. America’s No.1 tennis player, John Isner, also demanded justice for Floyd but he condemned the violent behavior of the mobs.
There is widespread looting going on in various parts of the country and hundreds of properties were damaged over the weekend. Consequently, Isner called for the arrest of all who are violently protesting and vandalizing property.

Earlier, Floyd was arrested for using a counterfeit $20 bill in a shop. The police officer was videotaped kneeling on Floyd, as he arrested the man. The latter begged for the officer to let him up as he could not breathe. However, the cop ignored his plea.
The incident triggered widespread protests across the country to demand justice. Floyd’s attorney and protesters are demanding a strict charge against all the officers present during the incident.
“This is dishonoring George Floyd” – John Isner
The peaceful protest soon turned to a violent one with the clash between the demonstrators and police. Isner also criticized the violent protests on social media.
“Really something to cheer about. Arrest them all,” Isner wrote on Twitter.

John also replied to one of the comments that those officers should be “100%” arrested. However, he explained that this violence is not justifiable and graded certain demonstrators as “terrorist”.
So that makes this justified? What is wrong with you. No shit George Floyd is not with us but this is dishonoring him.
