Minneapolis city workers on Thursday started partially clearing the George Floyd memorial — after complaints, it had become a lawless “autonomous zone” with at least one murder, attacks by vandals, and a shooting just last week.
Dozens of clean-up crew members descended on the now-notorious area known as George Floyd Square from 4:30 a.m., city spokeswoman Sarah McKenzie confirmed.
Videos showed Bobcat equipment lifting away concrete barriers that had sealed off the area from traffic for almost a year since Floyd’s murder on May 25 last year.

The makeshift garden around it is part of what was being removed Thursday to finally open up the area that was previously a major through-point for buses and traffic, the local paper noted.
However, it seems that Antifa didn’t need more than just a few moments to reclaim the square.

The activists that moved to reclaim the square were mostly white folks and part of Antfa!
The unsuccessful clear-up was largely coordinated by Agape, a peacekeeping force that includes ex-gang members that are on contract with the city to keep watch over the area, McKenzie told the outlet.
Police were not involved, with Agape “managing conflict and de-escalating when necessary,” a police spokesman told the paper.
We can't control our own cities and we want to control the world!
City admins-————🙌👏
Look people - this is war.
The government serves to enforce the laws WE have agreed to - when you have a bunch of lawless cretins that not only refuse to honor, let alone obey those laws then they are criminals. When they actively seek to subvert the existing people’s lives and ignore the government you are no longer dealing with criminals but outright enemies to this nation and the Republic.
These are no longer our fellow men.
YOU SAID IT!
Textbook military tactics. Clear out when the mobile infantry arrives. When the infantry leaves, go back and reclaim the territory.
AND HOW! (Lil Rascals)
Leftist idiots have not clue how to do things right. They deserve every problem they have and they do not deserve my tax dollars. They need to be cut off.
Not to start another side argument, but 90% of those laws shouldn't exist.
In fact, without some of those laws... The Rest of US would have more than ample freedom to clean these Marxist vermin out.
I agree. Everything below their ears must go...
We need a Warthog strike on any un-permitted riot or demonstration, anywhere.
Or at least roll up some humvees with Ma Duces.
I hate rioters and protesters of any political persuasion; get the hell out of the streets or die. You will *never* have an issue or personage worth closing down one damned intersection, ever.
The state used antifa and BLM as proxy warriors against their own citizens to get the results that they wanted. A quick look at history shows this isn’t a great idea and generality ends up blowing up in your face.
We’re the chumps for following the “laws”...
SanFran-Seattle-Portland has now captured Minneapolis
What part about beating the living SH...Obamastuff out of these creeps do the politicians not understand? Just look the other way, tell the police to do the same and let some good folks with operational brains administer a proper attitude adjustment. Betcha it will not happen again.
How many decades has it been since the Klan or their ilk could keep the authorities out of any patch of ground bigger than a meeting hall?
So businesses and private property owners rights mean nothing? What did they do to deserve this?
Did they seriously expect a memorial to a criminal to become a place of love, tolerance and peace?
SPJNK.
Antifa has a quick reaction force. Isn’t that just like the Jan insurrectionists still in gulags.
This is not going to be fixed by the political process.
