Hours after Terrence Floyd urged protesters in Minneapolis to channel their anger over police brutality and the killing of his older brother, George Floyd, into activism in the form of peaceful demonstrations and voting, violence escalated in cities throughout the country.
Floyd implored those gathered at the memorial site where his older brother was killed a week earlier to stop vandalizing and tearing down the community.
“I know he would not want y’all to be doing this,” Floyd said, recounting that his brother had moved to the Twin Cities from Houston and loved the city.
“I Understand y’all upset, but I doubt y’all half as upset as I am,” Floyd said. “So if I’m not over here wilding out, if I’m not over here blowing up stuff, if I’m not over here messing up my community, then what are y’all doing? What are y’all doing? Y’all doing nothing! Because that’s not going to bring my brother back, at all. It may feel good for the moment, just like when you drink. But when it comes down, you’re going to wonder what you did. My family is a peaceful family. My family is God-fearing.”
“We’re upset, but we’re not going to take it. … In every case of police brutality, the same thing has been happening: y‘all protest, y’all destroy stuff. And if they don’t move, you know why they don’t move? Because it’s not their stuff, it’s our stuff. So they want us to destroy our stuff. We’re not going to move! So let’s do this another way.
“… Let’s stop thinking that our place doesn’t matter, and vote. Not just vote for the president … vote for everybody. Educate yourself. Don’t wait for somebody else to tell you who’s who. Educate yourself and who you’re voting for. And that’s how we’re going to hit them. … And we’re still going to do this peacefully.”
Those gathered around Floyd were move by his words and raised their voices with him as he led them in chanting for peace and justice.
Nationwide, however, lawlessness and mayhem ensued Monday night.
In St. Louis, Missouri, four police officers were shot last night after protests turned violent near the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Fox News affiliate KTVI reported Tuesday, adding that the injuries were not life-threatening. “Two of the officers were shot in the leg, one in the foot, and one in the arm.” All were discharged from the hospital on Tuesday.

May God bless the Floyd family and give you Peace that passes all understanding!! Jesus declares “blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God!” So grieved over the loss of your loved one….terrible, the evil that was perpetrated, the lack of feeling behind this senseless taking of human life…..I’m beyond mortified. May the Good Lord comfort and sustain you in the days to come, to turn what the enemy meant for evil into something good. In Jesus Name! 🙏♥️😔😢 #justice #healing #lovebeyondourselves

No Jesus, no peace! No Jesus, no peace! Know Jesus, know peace. That is my chant. Amen!
Father I pray Isaiah 58 this morning. “Cry aloud, spare not; Life up your voice like a trumpet”…”why have we fasted and You (God) have not seen?…you fast for strife and debate and to strike with the fist of wickedness. ” Isaiah 58:6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?”
Father God in Heaven, we pray You would break the accusing tongue (or keystrokes) from the Body of Christ whose delivery of Truth may come with finger pointing & judgement. Father, we pray you would break the yoke of oppression over people and systems and high places in our nation. Father we pray that if there is deception about thinking Antifa is a good organization, that looting/chaos gets folks attention… I pray that the spirit of deception would be broken in our nation, in people’s lives, in my city, in my neighborhood. I pray God that the Body of Christ would find ways to loose the bonds of wickedness in interracial conversations with brothers and sisters. I pray that the Body of Christ would look diligently for the heavy burdens, especially in the inner cities, and find new and creative ways to break those bonds in Jesus name.
Father, You have given us this golden opportunity to turn — as the Body of Christ — from our selfish and wicked ways, to repent of our self-centered pleasures and weep with those who weep, to mourn with those who suffer… to humble ourselves, to pray, to seek Your Face and turn from our selfish/wicked ways. We ask for Your Mercy and Your Grace on our land that you would hear from heaven, and forgive us for our sin and heal our land – for everyone. That oppression would be broken, that hate that leads to killing and drive-by shootings would be healed, that reconciliation among races would happen first in the Body and then in community. This is a big prayer but You are a big and Mighty God, able to save. Lord hear our prayer. In Jesus name. Amen.
Father, You are our peace. Restore their souls. May we see Your Kingdom come and Your will being done on earth as it is in heaven .
Forgive us Lord. Lead us into paths of Your righteousness for Your name sake. Jesus we need You. Holy Spirit we need You.
Come Lord Jesus.
