Protesters angered by the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who died while in police custody, gained access to a Minneapolis police precinct on Thursday, the third straight night of violent protests spreading beyond the city.

Livestream video showed the protesters entering the building, where fire alarms blared and sprinklers ran as blazes were set.

Dozens of businesses across the Twin Cities were boarding up their windows and doors Thursday in an effort to prevent looting, with the Minneapolis-based Target announcing it was temporarily closing two dozen area stores. Minneapolis shut down nearly its entire light-rail system and all bus service through Sunday out of safety concerns.

It's absurd that mayor and police chief didn't use the force necessary to stop this.

There should be no Federal money to bailout the city.

At least they’re burning a building that actually has some connection to the hideously corrupt and incompetent police department this time.

Speaking as one of the Asians on rooftops with rifles back in 1992 - sorry, not coming. :P

The RIOTERS might not “practice ‘social distancing’” but at least many are wearing masks.

/s

Nevertheless: TIME TO STOP THE SPREAD!

By whatever means necessary, including lethal force.

I’ve noticed that too, watching various news channels , that everyone is calling them protesters. They are not calling them rioters or anarchists or arsonists.

I can only assume that the powers that be at various news channels have put out the word that certain descriptions are not permitted to be uttered on the air.

Minneapolis hasn’t had a Republican mayor or council president since 1973. I’m enjoying this.

Not IF it’s all been planned in advance.

Watching with a smile, I hope. This is their mess, let them cry in the smoking rubble.
