There will be more looting, burning, destroying, and killing because the cops have orders not to shoot looters and arsonists.

The authorities have given permission to continue the looting, burning, destroying and killing.

What's depressing is that I can understand how one rotten apple makes all the cops in a city look bad, and you have to take that into account when making blanket judgments; but to have one cop killing someone while 3 more cops just hang around doing nothing ... now that's depressing.

Yes, the whole thing is depressing on many levels. The situation is reflective of the situation with the FBI. Corrupt operators within a bureaucracy, instead of being rooted out, get cover. The bureaucracy protects itself, to the point of becoming malevolent. Many within the bureaucracy feel powerless to stop the corruption knowing that if they try they'll be the ones targeted. Corruption then spreads like a cancer.

In this instance, the cop has a history of violence, and low and behold, Amy Klobuchar was one of his enablers.

THEY’RE ANARCHISTS

Yup. As soon as I saw pasty white boys smashing windows and leading the charge you had to know it was soros' army of paid antifa twinks that were fanning the flames.

Relive the year after the Summer of Love!

It’s 1968 all over again.

Two Minneapolis (in Hennepin County) police channels are now blocked on Scanner+ app.

I lived in the DC area in 1968. This is different. Then it was spontaneous, now it is clearly incited and to some degree organized.

The Koreans on the rooftops were from the Rodney King riots in 1992 not the Watts riots which happened in the 1960s.

“Corrupt operators within a bureaucracy, instead of being rooted out, get cover.”

Any organization is as bad as the worst psycho they tolerate in their ranks.

OK so what is it?? did he die on the scene or did he die in the hospital later? We have a poster in this thread who said he died right there on the scene. I keep hearing that he died right there on the scene.

If you read my post, I said, "I don't know what happened...".

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, but the assassination of Martin Luther King wasn’t planned... (Well, not by the rioters)...

The riots that followed were all based on that.

[Pirate Ragnar]

“who later died at a hospital” ...and what did he die from?

This is a riot, not a mere protest. It is a shame that decent local people who had no part of this mayhem will suffer because the local stores were burned by terrorists and thieves. The rioters and thugs? Most of those disgusting losers are probably out of town Antifa and BLM, and they will move on to destroy other neighborhoods.

On utube there was a news segment from a local Twin Cities TV station, in which they posted an image of the report filed by the EMTs, who said that during the ride from the scene to the hospital, they tried & failed a number of times to find a pulse on him.

Probably other reports say "pronounced dead at Such & Such Hospital" because death certificates likely can't legally be issued by EMTs, but only an MD.

I'm guessing that even if the EMT finds my decapitated head a half block away from my torso, my life still "Ain't Over Til The Fat MD Sings".

Great post, thanks.
