    "Police in Minneapolis tried to disperse a crowd gathering near the city’s Third Precinct police station on Thursday night, firing “flash bang” shots and then tear gas, according to reports.
    Television images showed several officers launching the warning shots and tear gas from the roof of the police station around 9 p.m. local time."

    Looks like a Festival.
    Kids are skateboarding, teenage girls running around in pairs, everybody taking pictures of each other.

    Lots of guns and Trump supporters staging a protest. No incidents reported (not even a littering fine).




    The protests going on right now





    Then there's this;
    "A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing an American flag from a memorial commemorating service members who have given their lives in defense of the United States, lighting it on fire and then throwing the burning flag onto a police car."
    https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-throws...ry?id=70877124

    Why are armed protests nonviolent and the supposed peaceful protests turn violent and destructive?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    At least the looters are wearing masks, what considerate people they are whilst robbing the liquor stores.

    Why watch them destroy their own city and hurt their neighbors? Many small/minority businesses? ( However....If they looted Target I hope they at least picked up a belt or two....)

    Lefty-run cities always collapse. Unless they aren't multiracial.... I wonder why that is.

    I grew up in this neighborhood. It's always been a minority/low income area, but I suspect it's even more so since I lived there. It's very sad to see what's happening there. I'm confused as to why there haven't been charges, but maybe the county attorney will explain the hold up. There is no justification for the looting, but the frustration that has triggered it is real imderstandable, and it has to be addressed. Sadly, this country is run by an overt racist so it's not likely to happen now, maybe November will bring the needed changes.

    Is that what the masks are for, not spreading the Virus?

    Someone called the area a 'Food Desert'. This probably won't help.

    Yes, then turned tail, and hid under their beds, and let their town fall to looters and arsonists!

    This is one chickenshit police department. Killing innocent people! Causing riots!

    Responsible for the protests! And then responsible for the town getting looted and burned down because they were too chicken to stand up to it!

    Pretty good for hiding your face from security cameras as well!
