Just talked to a middle aged guy in the Bronx, originally from St. Croix, who is very angry about what happened in the neighborhood. Especially because the local pharmacy was destroyed, and old people can’t get their medication. Said what happened in MN has nothing to do with NYC
He said the young people protesting don’t care about George Floyd, they just want to go out and have fun after being under lockdown. Also said the Bronx needs the police. He didn’t want to be on video, but I swear to god if he were on Twitter, he’d be denounced as a fascist
I’m also not “cherry-picking.” It was the first guy I talked to. Exact same sentiment was expressed by the first guy I talked to last night in Philadelphia. (Needless to say, both black.) This gentleman says his viewpoint won’t be reflected in the media because it “doesn’t sell”
Here’s the shuttered pharmacy, around the corner from where he lives 
Minority-owned business marked as such. Unclear whether it was looted
Guy apparently took the opportunity to promote his Instagram
