this is the reporting of "usa today." and the broader issue of who may be involved in the rioting across the country. officials blame "out of state" agitaters, but those at the heart of the protests, they write, are home grown. "usa today" says the narrative offers a simple, tidy explanation for violence that allows politicians to simultaneously support the ethos of the movement and the police officers trying to keep the peace. but they write it's not true. the overwhelming majority of people who posted on social media from the precinct fire and those they arrested on friday night in the protests in the twin cities live in the area, according to a "usa today" review of police jail records and more than 100,000 tweets. they did an analysis, "usa today," an analysis of more than 1,800 twitter users who posted from within a three-mile radius of the precinct fire on thursday and say that 85% had a history of posting inside the greater minneapolis area before george floyd's death. to eric, next up on our democrats line, in mem

the headline in usa today -- or the hill. alex bolton -- that is the wrong piece. i thought i had the other one. "strife turns the heat upon trump, the greatest civil unrest piling pressure on a president who has exploited america's divisions. protests sparked by the death of george floyd in minneapolis have touched at least sony five cities. throughout the weekend -- 75 cities." throughout the weekend, viewers saw aggressive policing, militaristic vandalism on the part of protesters and everything in between. the nation hoped with respite on monday with no clear sense on whether the strife would recede or ratchet up." it is a "sea of troubles that encircles his reelection hopes." here is denise in maryland. caller: good morning, think you for having me. i guess i have two comments, one on how trump is handling this protest and everything going on. i think he is handling it the same way he has handled past crises. way we could have these many people dead ever. this is the first time it has ever happened. as far as the protests are concerned, it is citizens using th

if you still kept it going you got picked up in usa today i don't know if you found this and i want to talk a little bit about what it is i think you attacked and i and i think that these people are. and i know all of them i think they're in the business of selling hope they're not in the business of speaking truth. and it's a false hope as your film i think correctly documents. but i wondered if you could comment on that because when you're in the business of selling hope that's a form of advertising and in many cases a form of moral posturing and self promotion yes selling hope you know this is i think hope weirdly enough is what happens in the business world you know if you get a job for a corporation or a company or a logging company or. you know which of a company you know they don't want to hear the problems they want to hear the solutions and it's it might sound weird to people that's amazingly corporate to be focused on the hope. it's also allows us to just keep doing what we're doing. and i think that's a problem that we're just going to keep doing so we got off the cliff but

joining us, cnn sports analyst, usa today columnist christine brennan.ignificant admission that the nfl was wrong for not listening to those players who protested earlier. i assume he is referring to colin kaepernick. >> absolutely, wolf. this is very significant. roger goodell just said we were wrong. i wasn't expecting to hear that from him. i think it shows the significance of the moment. everything we are going through as a nation, our culture right now, for roger goodell to make this, obviously he did this from his home. for him to do this, to feel the need to do it is a very dramatic statement, very dramatic move, it's correct, some might say, add my voice to this, wolf, it is a long time coming. colin kaepernick was kneeling during the national anthem, protesting the treatment of african-american men and social injustice. he was doing that in the summer of 2016, four years ago. the nfl could have embraced it then. obviously they didn't. they're embracing it now. it's a shame it took this long, it is a shame that colin kaepernick is not in the leag
