Chris Cuomo is showing his support for the nationwide protests.
. Cuomo opened his show Tuesday with a clear message of support for the nationwide protests against police brutality and called for real accountability for police officers who break the law.
"This is not a tranquil time," he said, explaining that the demonstrators are"not here to make you or me comfortable, they're here to criticize, blame and shame. You don't have to like it, but why not focus on remembering the reason for the pain that fuels their purpose?" "Police are the ones who are required to be peaceful, to de-escalate, to remain calm. They are in fact trained to do exactly that," the CNN newsman said."When one kneels on someone's neck for a long time and other police don't stop obvious deadliness, that's the problem."
