Hey, hope you're well. This video is essentially part two of today's Thursday Philip DeFranco

0:04.3

show. We've been having to split up the videos into different stories just because some like this one are

0:08.2

heavier. And so if you want to watch part one before this video or after the video, it's the top link

0:12.0

down below. Also, you can click right there. But that said, what we're going to be talking about

0:15.8

in this video are the updates and the fallout that we're seeing from the George Floyd situation that we talked about yesterday.

0:21.1

If you haven't seen our breakdown, I hated filming that video, but I feel like we did a very good

0:24.3

job of showing everything that is known right now. Link down below. But today, we're going to start

0:28.5

talking about the protests. It started on Tuesday. We talked about them yesterday, but last night,

1:03.9

According to reports, the looting started a target across the street from the precinct before spreading to other parts of the city.

1:08.5

And there we saw numerous videos in social media of people destroying property

1:11.6

taking things out of the store. Local outlets also reporting that the grocery store and several small businesses were looted.

1:16.6

Very notably there was a man who was shot and killed by a pawn shop owner marking the first and only reported fatality thus far from these protests.

1:22.6

This according to reports when the shop owner opened fire on a man who he believed was trying to loot his store, with it also being reported that at least five people were shot.

1:29.3

Another notable thing here is the fact that police reportedly did not do anything to stop the looters,
