Unrest Erupts in Minneapolis Amid Protests Over Police-Involved Shooting
The Epoch Times ^ | Jun 5, 2021 | Tom Ozimek

Posted on 06/05/2021 7:30:14 AM PDT by Yong

Minneapolis saw an outbreak of unrest on Friday night, after a vigil and protests over the shooting death of a man by members of a U.S. Marshals task force devolved into chaotic scenes of looting, arson, and vandalism.

The second night of protests followed Thursday’s fatal shooting of 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith Jr., who was wanted on a weapons violation and fired a gun before two deputies shot him.

Time to go shopping! The perp’s family is digging out the kindergarten pictures and dreaming of a big payoff.

Know this about them - they believe, sincerely, they have the right to rob, rape, and murder you. Crime for them is a normal existence.

Another aspiring aerospace engineer gunned down in cold blood by police.

Should be worth $30 million.

Cops can’t do their jobs without sparking some sort of organized citizen thuggery being unleashed. What next, is “BLM” going to riot and burn the town down when a black person gets a traffic ticket?

Dear Minneapolis, "...chaotic scenes of looting, arson, and vandalism..." do not constitute "unrest."

Until you arrest, prosecute and punish the lawbreakers you will continue to have "chaotic scenes of looting, arson, and vandalism."

Good luck.

Song by A Taste of Honey says it all....
Boogie Oogie

If you’re thinkin’ you’re too cool to boogie
Boy oh boy have I got news for you

Everybody here tonight must boogie
Let me tell ya, you are no exception to the rule

Get on up, on the floor
‘Cause we’re gonna boogie oogie oogie
‘Till you just can’t boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more


They just don’t write classic American songbook lyrics like that any more. A lost art.

Our sick society (except for us here) condones that ghetto lottery lawsuit payoff trend and then gets more and more of it.

They can't say he looks like a boy in a children's church choir, he was holding Skittles, he was just passing a measly $20 counterfeit bill, his hands were up so don't shoot, he was a gentle giant, he was unarmed or anything else.

Commit a crime and risk getting the law after you. That's the bottom line.

Oops, forgot. He was a victim of systemic racism in a white dominated racist society and had no other choice in life to survive except turn to crime. Like Dr. Ben Carson, Justice Clarence Thomas or Oprah Winfrey. Paupers all.

LOL. Forgot until you reminded me. Now we’re talking classic popular music. With style.

He fired a gun and they shot him. End of discussion.

Will this be the cop-shoots-innocent-black crisis that segways into reparations?

“One-Third of Black Men Have Felony Convictions”

https://www.sentencingproject.org/news/5593/

Do you know how HARD it is to get actually convicted of a felony? You have to get a bunch of actual felonies written down to misdemeanors by the D.A. first, then go on to a string of really horrific and newsworthy felonies before the book is thrown at you.

So how many black men REALLY commit felonies? HALF?
