The roads need to be kept clear, one way or another.

Twenty-one officers from various Minnesota law enforcement agencies were injured and more than 102 protestors were arrested as a demonstration on the I-94 freeway in St. Paul turned violent Saturday night, with protestors hurling rocks, bottles, fireworks and bricks at law enforcement officers on the scene.
Hundreds of demonstrators began protesting at the Governor’s Residence in St. Paul Saturday night over the police-involved shooting death of Philando Castile earlier in the week before heading onto the I-94 freeway around 8 p.m., local Fox affiliate KMSP reported.
The interstate was shut down in both directions for more than five hours and the protests eventually turned violent, with demonstrators hurling bricks, fireworks and at least one Molotov cocktail at officers, according to the St. Paul Police Department.
Police gave at least 16 orders for the crowd to disperse, eventually using smoke to clear the highway after 1 a.m. Fifty people were reportedly arrested and booked on third-degree rioting charges during the I-94 protest, while another 52 individuals were arrested for public nuisance and unlawful assembly during a separate altercation with police officers around 4 a.m. on Grand Avenue.
In all, 21 officers from several Minnesota law enforcement agencies were injured during Saturday night’s protests.

This the result of having the great ‘uniter’ elected in 2008. As he told Putin, he would make changes in his second term.
When BLM shows up, deploy tactically armored units and lay down supressing fire. Then send in the rest with a good supply of body bags. Lather, rinse, repeat. The BLM movement will wither and die.
Obama calls cop killer ‘demented ‘ as racial tensions heat up
Obama, scheduled to visit Dallas next week, described the gunman as a “demented individual” who in no way represented the African-American community.
“I firmly believe that America is not as divided as some have suggested,” he said during a NATO summit in Warsaw. “There is sorrow, there is anger, there is confusion… but there is unity.”
US politicians have sought to come across as unifiers after the week of violence.
“White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the barriers they face,” Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton tweeted.
That message was echoed by prominent members of the Republican Party, which has often jumped to defend law enforcement amid accusations of racial bias.
“It is more dangerous to be black in America,” said Newt Gingrich, a Republican former House speaker tipped as a possible White House running mate for Donald Trump.
“Sometimes it’s difficult for whites to appreciate how real that is. It’s an everyday danger.”Obama, scheduled to visit Dallas next week, described the gunman as a “demented individual” who in no way represented the African-American community.

THANKS HUSSEIN the KENYAN!!!! THANKS FOR NUTHIN’!!
Well over a hundred were injured in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray party.
Governors need to ignore Obama , call out their own National Guard . Deploy armored personnel carriers and uniformed soldiers with fixed bayonets . Block off rioter ingress streets with razor wire and order helicopters to deploy CS ( tear gas) on gathered groups of ‘protesters’ . Prepare stadiums as holding centers for mass arrests and hold all rioters for a minimum of 1 week under spartan conditions with very high bails .
The Reagan solution to street riots
forget the hand holding and commence with the ass kicking
I would say they need the National Guard, but then, isnt that the type of Federal Government Control that Obama has been pushing us toward for every institution? Security, Health Care, Education, Employment Standards. Closer to total socialism, if I am seeing it correctly.
That would be the right way to do it. But Obama would call in Federal troops if that was even contemplated.
States have ceded too much treasure to the Fed and now are reliant upon it. It is a tragic state of affairs because states have lost most of their sovereignty.
George Soros is very pleased.
The very first time, getting close to two years ago, that BLM blocked streets, intersections, and public access to places, they should’ve been arrested for protests and marches without a permit and for trespass. Instead, idiots like those total tools in Missouri and Baltimore, among other places, pandered to the useful idiots who were out there fighting for the globalist dreams without knowing that’s the ultimate goal. Do they really still think it’s about them, when they participate in these protests?
I have been very critical of the police state and their militaristic-style over presence in the community over the last five or so year. But, I am at the point now where it is about time to break out all of those “mandatory gifts” that were given to these police departments from DOD.
Return fire and this stuff will stop quickly after an initial explosion of violence. BUT, with Obama instigating these fights and taking over local police departments it will just be a never ended festering wound.
And THIS is why Gingrich should be DONE. No running as VP, nothing. I don’t apologize for being a law abiding white person and I don’t need that jerk off doing it for me.
It’s more dangerous for blacks to be blacks because more blacks break the law and act like thugs and hood rats.
However, this is moot because Hillary will be the next President.
Why don’t the cops bring in the water cannons? It would disperse the group and sting them like Hell. Is there a reason why we never see these?
I’m getting tired of the anarchy. Protest all you want, but don’t attack the cops in brutish fashion. I haven’t been worked up like this in years. I’m getting really angry.
Who is orchestrating the anarchy? In every city they move to shut down the interstate freeways. In this town that is a good way to get run over or shot or both.
