And this is a story why? foxnews CNN SUCKS!

So you can protest in person but can’t graduate in person...

To all parents in all states with the police departments under threat of being defunded.Yank your child now! Lawlessness will be rampant. No 911 and criminals will have NO ACCOUNTABILITY. PROTECT YOUR CHILD. Especially females. Unless you are a liberal. Good luck with that.

Murderers are also sanctioned by law. This time the rioting black people went to the shop to grab things. Can this character be respected by others? Black should protest own character, the bad behavior of the riots, and change oneself to be respected by everyone.

He can't attend his own graduation but he can attend a protest.

Fake news

It's just high school, grade 12

A powerful statement: education is a great step forward!

F.U.cnn.

Standing in solidarity with him. Such a great gesture by the man to some insane animals call themselves as humans by being poor supremacist.

There is right and there is wrong, but all too often there is injustice and loopholes in our criminal justice system that are unjustly accusing black men for crimes they did not commit! If you support BlackLivesMatter then you should support CriminalJusticeReform STFUHillary

Only thing Floyd protester's gave is murder and destruction, I pity you all. Disgusting.

And that’s a police man behind him waiting to shoot/arrest his ass once he’s done with this picture.

So powerful!!

I don’t know why they didn’t attend ceremonies! They all in the streets with no social distancing!!!!

Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.

For me right now, this is the most iconic photo of the times.

This young man is a shining example of all that is good in the world. Good for him and congratulations to his parents ❤️

The killing of that innocent man will affect Triump's re-election bid. Say no to racism and police brutality!

Wonderful.

Proud of you!

Graduation and funerals bad - riots good - what a time

All four cops were arrested and charged. What justice is he calling for?

Poor didums

Respect 🙏so admirable, my heart is with you.

Rona, is that still a thing FakeNewsCNN? When are they going to arrest these 'peaceful' protesters for not wearing a damn mask? Who the hell do they think they are?

Maybe he will stand up against democratic government...

Now he knows the lock down was a hoax and he could have graduated with his friends

Glad he's entering a rebounding and strong workforce. Thank you POTUS!
