The Fox News host added that “once you have someone in handcuffs not resisting, that fight is over” and exploded on the cop for “sitting on his neck for 8 minutes” despite Floyd not resisting.
“Every law enforcement official I know says the same thing – this is excessive and extremely dangerous use of force and none of it was necessary,” Hannity said, noting that he believes the “peaceful protests” that have followed Floyd’s death are “justifiable and understandable.”
While Hannity agreed with the protests and was vehemently against the cops’ actions regarding Floyd, he criticized the looters who destroyed the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota Wednesday evening in the wake of Floyd’s death. (RELATED: Minneapolis Burns As Looters Take To The Streets Following Protests Over Death Of George Floyd)
“The protests, the riots, the destruction of property that we were witnessing last night and we are seeing some more of tonight, as you look at live pictures, is not the answer,” Hannity said. “This is not a way to honor George Floyd’s life. And this incident is sadly being used by some to engage in abhorrent criminal behavior that is putting the entire city and neighborhood at risk.”
The “Hannity” host said reports indicate Floyd “was trying to move forward with his life” and that the looters’ actions “don’t honor his life.”
“Burning down stores, looting, rioting, puts everybody in the community, citizens, children, innocent cops, in harm’s way,” Hannity said. “It is destroying the lives of many working people and business owners who have already been struggling enough. We don’t need more hate and hysteria amid this time of turmoil.”

The USDA Is Considering Lifting Alaskan ‘Roadless Rule,’ Which Could Generate Millions For China’s Economy

As conservatives decry our trade relationship with China after their handling of the coronavirus outbreak , the United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) is considering lifting the “ Roadless Rule , ” an act that protects nearly 10 million acres of the Tongass National Forest in order to open up the area to logging .
The USDA sent out a press release in October of last year listing six alternatives related to action on the Roadless Rule .
They said that their preferred action was to “ exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 Roadless Rule , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million acres ” from Roadless Rule protections , allowing them to be used for logging .
A decision on the Roadless Rule from the Secretary of Agriculture is expected by June , according to the USDA press release .

“ It ’ s wasteful spending , it doesn ’ t help the economy , it denudes a beautiful antique forest to no advantage whatsoever.
