Erykah Badu had something to say about the George Floyd protests concerning the protesters' safety.
The soul singer basically told people to stop revolting, because the consequences will be dyre. Her message comes after the National Guard has been deployed to several U.S. cities because of looting and violence.

If taking a knee had any kind of economic profit for the networks during football season and sponsors didn’t pull out , “TAKE A KNEE” would be a new series on Netflix hosted by Kelly Osborne Sponsored by TikTok right now . Lol

We are holding it down here in Dallas. But for the cities experiencing major fall out and injury to the front liners. I stand with you, proudly. How brave of you to STAND FOR US. Please be smart. Fall BACK when necessary to regroup and prepare. NO JUSTICE..

Does Badu have a point or is her message off?
