He said: ‘Listen, I’m not gonna sit and act like we’re not kicking up dust. We are pissed and frustrated and kicking s*** up.
‘But I’m telling you right now, little white kids, they’re looting just as much as we are. And we’re gonna get the blame, not them. It’s the way of the world.’
In another video, he said: ‘No justice, no motherf***ing peace. Brought this on yourself. Prosecute or suffer the wrath of the people. The people are fed up. This is your guys’ fault.’

The death of 46-year-old George Floyd in Minneapolis has sparked days of demonstrations across the nation over police brutality against African-Americans.
On May 25, Floyd – an unarmed, African-American male – experienced a horrific death at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In the horrifying video footage of Floyd’s death, he is seen saying that he can not breathe as officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes.
The Minneapolis policeman accused of killing Floyd, Chauvin, was taken into custody Friday and charged with third-degree murder, which was later changed to second-degree murder.
