NY Times: The place where George Floyd died has become a police no-go zone and a place of nightly violence
Hot Air ^ | July 29, 2020 | John Sexton

The NY Times reports that the area in Minneapolis where George Floyd was killed has become a memorial of sorts for people from all over the country who come to pay their respects. Because of the obvious tension with police, it has also become a no-go zone for the cops. And that has been fine during the day when things remain peaceful, but at night it becomes a different story:

Been playing the Planck Length violin a lot these past few days. Minneapolis wants to "defund the police", so receive the consequences good and hard.

What we have learned from Black Lives Matter is that black lives do not matter to them or their supporters.

The rule of opposites.

In the vast vast majority of cases, it is the police that are supporting black people, not attacking them.

They need to get a priest in there and sprinkle The Holy Water.

I know a guy who lives a block or so from where Saint Floyd died of a drug overdose. He has been told that calling the police will do no good. They won’t show up.

He is a hard working guy who has his own small construction business. He doesn’t want to live there anymore but couldn’t sell his house even if he wanted to.

I wonder if bogus $20 bills are accepted in all the stores now?

No one wants to be accused of being lighting striking twice in the same spot.

George Floyd Avenue will end up similar to Martin Luther King Boulevard.

A slum area where drug sales run rampant as do nightly shootings.

If you ever are lost so you look at a street sign to get your bearings and discover you are on MLK Boulevard ... RUN!

Great to see another spot on the map where you can make that same rule.

That’s because the protestors are building a better tomorrow.

The cops don’t want to go to a place where they know they will be shot.

There's a new claim by the Minneapolis P.D. that the video of a guy in black, carrying a black umbrella, and smashing the windows out of an AutoZone was a white supremacist trying to incite people to riot after George Floyd's death.

"Umbrella Man" caught in viral video smashing windows during Minneapolis protest is a white supremacist, police say

Early after the riots started, Democrat politicians tried to claim that white supremacists were the perpetrators. When these same politicians let all the rioters, arsonists, and assailants out of jail without charges, then I knew the white supremacist claims were false. Same thing goes for this guy in the video with the umbrella. The police department claims they know who this guy is, but haven't released his name. Neither have they picked him up. So if this guy with the black umbrella is supposed to be a white supremacist, doesn't that mean that all those rioting members of Antifa and BLM that are carrying black umbrellas in videos from across the country, are also white supremacists? But yet, Democrats are strongly supporting these people, and the majority of them were released from arrest without charges.

Today, Rep. Clyburn (D-SC) made the statement that white supremacists had infiltrated BLM. I called Clyburn's office, and told the girl who answered the phone to ask Rep. Clyburn, if all these people were white supremacists, then why did Democrat D.A.s, and Mayors in cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, Seattle, New York City, etc. let them all out of jail without charges? The Democrat party is nothing but a bunch of racists and race-baiters.

White suoremacists were blamed in Richmond, as well.
