Protesters Enter Minneapolis Police Station, Set Fires

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.

...the third straight night of violent protests spreading beyond the city.

Isn't that called "rioting"?

This may sound crazy, but the powers that be need to fear the people to a certain extent.

One of the reasons we are in the mess we are in is because politicians, corrupt police, ect no longer fear the people. Tar and feathering is just a euphemism for corrupt people being pulled out of their houses and being made to pay for their crimes against we the people.

This is a balance of power that we have lost along the way.

Now looting and burning other citizens stores and such....well that should get you “tarred and feathered” the same as the politician and corrupt police.

It’s similar to calling Islamic terrorists “rebels.”

My sister, who works in downtown Baltimore, wrote to me tonight that the city never recovered from the riots. It played out exactly as you wrote. Stores permanently closed and never came back.

I remember cheering you guys on when it was reported that someone was finally taking a stand out there. You showed up...tip-of-the-hat to you.

Like I said, I didn’t do much. Most of the stores in my immediate area didn’t get too many visits from the mobs either; there was a cluster of Vietnamese-owned stores not too far away, and for whatever reason, they often sounded like they were getting regular visits from persistent mobs for some reason. I never got the full story from over there (having been otherwise occupied at the time and afterwards *nobody* talking to anyone they didn’t know about the events during) but when things had calmed down enough for us to go back to high school, there were some really psychologically messed up Vietnamese kids in my classes.

Rioters, using a man’s unwarranted death to act like animals.

Protestors? Protestors? Them ain’t protesters them are rioters, thugs or terrorists.....why does the media keep calling them protestors? Bet if they were locked up and made them clean up their mess, this wouldn’t happen much any more.

1 other white police officer, there was a Cambodian or Hmong and another man whose ethnicity I’m not sure of.

They needed reinforcements the first night of rioting when I saw a solid line of bicycle cops at the precinct suddenly shrink down and do nothing more than put up crowd control barricades instead of holding their ground and calling for backup.

I think that’s when the choice was made to either enforce or stand down, by “someone.” The Justin Trudeau lookalike mayor is busy sobbing and cowering under his bed.

Presidents should show leadership. Put in motion solutions, protect or empower citizens. Democrats are happy to step back and let their cities burn. Trump should not allow this.
