Hi all! Our friends at @PolitiFact have already been fact-checking some claims you're probably seeing surrounding the #GeorgeFloydProtests. politifact.com/article/2020/m…

People on Facebook were saying #GeorgeFloyd's death was staged. Not true! politifact.com/factchecks/202…

Another person on Facebook claimed a Target store in Minneapolis was looted for supporting police by "refusing to sell milk to tear-gassed" protesters. #GeorgeFloydProtests

@PolitiFact didn't find any evidence to support this. politifact.com/article/2020/m…

A post claimed both images within the post were of protesters are from May 2020. Well, one image is from April of this year. Details matter! #ThinkBeforeYouShare @PolitiFact #GeorgeFloydProtests

And as for that video of the woman in the wheelchair outside of Target in Minnesota, there remain more questions than answers. @PolitiFact #GeorgeFloydProtests politifact.com/article/2020/m…
