Protesters Enter Minneapolis Police Station, Set Fires

Protesters angered by the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who died while in police custody, gained access to a Minneapolis police precinct on Thursday, the third straight night of violent protests spreading beyond the city.

Livestream video showed the protesters entering the building, where fire alarms blared and sprinklers ran as blazes were set.

Dozens of businesses across the Twin Cities were boarding up their windows and doors Thursday in an effort to prevent looting, with the Minneapolis-based Target announcing it was temporarily closing two dozen area stores. Minneapolis shut down nearly its entire light-rail system and all bus service through Sunday out of safety concerns.

I don’t blame you. Not your battle.

How many and what type of weapons were stolen by the rioters?

Despise what the cop did but I do think MN will go red now.

“..What is Trump doing since Democrats have failed and lost control?...”

Probably hoping there is a way that the respectable American taxpayers will not have to pay for this mess...

was watching Fox as long as they were live and then switched over to the China News Network.

I couldn’t help notice that both network’s reporters do not have any network logos on their microphones.

Hmmmm.

Thanks for the info. Well there you have it. We all see a riot is in process but the news people are not allowed to call a spade a spade.

Obviously the police bailed earlier in the day with everything of value. My heart aches for those innocent who live there and are devastated by what is going on. I could not imagine the barbaric scum animals rioting as the police and the mayor evacuate saying FU to the citizens. Remember this is Omar’s district. WTF is the National Guard and State Police and if they are this inept POTUS Trump should send in muscle to stop the anarchy. At this point it is politically driven by the media and DNC forces. They think this is “protesting”. They are f-ing insane.

It's absurd that mayor and police chief didn't use the force necessary to stop this.

I'll bet if the protests had been against the lockdown, they would have found a way to use plenty of force.

If its not peaceful, its not a protest. Its a destructive riot. Calling it a “protest” is another example of delusion masquerading as political correctness.

“What is Trump doing since Democrats have failed and lost control?”

Exactly what he should do, nothing. It is a DEmocrat problem, they can’t blame him for it. Let them fix it.

I may be weird but looters and arsonists need to be shot. Nothing is bad enough to cause all this. Most just go along with a crowd. Shoot a few and this nonsense would stop. They are criminals and should be treated as such. Some people have lost lifetime work.

Eh. I didn’t see a whole lot of action, and it wasn’t actually my or my family’s store. It belonged to a family friend and they had asked everyone they knew to send every male that could hold and use a rifle to come help. Not everyone on those rooftops was Korean - more than a few of us ethnic Mongolians and Chinese too. Lots of Vietnamese storekeepers in the area too, but none in my direct area. The meme ended up being Roof Koreans, though, because a majority of the shopkeepers that the media paid attention to were Korean.

This is their mess, let them cry in the smoking rubble.

You're so right!
