A group of protesters surrounded several National Guard vehicles that were driving on Lake Street towards the blockade under the Hiawatha Light Rail station in Minneapolis.
Agitators set the Wells Fargo on fire near the 5th Precinct.
People cheered as the plywood on the door at Wells Fargo went up in flames near the Fifth Precinct in Minneapolis Friday night.
Looters used children to help pull money from an overturned US Bank ATM near the intersection of East Lake Street and 10th Avenue South.
Absolutely wrong! Sending out young men with no ammunition to do the job that seasoned police are trained to do.
Antifa with the gas can. That’s a pro.
They’re bolstering the numbers so that they can have more company in retreat....?
I don’t know...just spit-balling here...
Stay prepared to defend your family and your property and your self. Do not allow yourself to be surrounded.
This is the “leadership” you voted for. The type that doesn’t want the police responding with force for fear of looking racist.
enjoy MN.
If the lefty officials know they are outsiders, they should know enough to single them out for arrest.
Otherwise both groups are just fellow travelers.
Just as in the 1992 LA Riots, sending in unarmed Guard units does nothing but get troops injured or killed. The rioting in LA didn’t stop until the Guard was issued ammo and the first few cars running checkpoints got swiss-cheesed by medium machine guns.
Walz vowed Saturday to fully mobilize the National Guard

What he’s really saying is that more will be less. The NG may as well be a bunch of mannequins.
I was just flipping past and didn’t see who it was but Neil Cavuto had on some Minnesota Democrat Congressman (don’t know if state or federal) who blathered law enforcement tactics against riot organizers. Obviously he was trying to warn them.
Thanks for this thread.
Groups “tightly controlled” means society is allowing the felony of insurrection to overthrow the established government. Others here will know and fight over the terms-—not again, please. Let’s call them “bad guys”.
By the way, the “suburban women” who dislike Trump for his rude languafe and harshness in his tweets hopefull will really be offended by rioters with filth on placards and spray painted words on buildings, destroyng police cars, looting stores and atms and burning buildings. Maybe offensive to the anti-Trump “suburban women”?
My point: Now that all the destruction has been done ( 4 nights ).. now he's gonna get serious? What a JOKE!
Great job governor of POSTURING for your legions of DUMBA$$ constituents.
Im kind of old, but I do remember other Dim politicians blaming outside agitators for civil strife before.
I do believe I heard Thursday morning Public Radio reported people were busing in from Chicago and one other location I don’t remember. If that was the case, they should have been turned away because of the Corona virus in the first place.
“
By all accounts, law enforcement presence was almost undetectable as the violence rapidly accelerated until just before midnight and into early Saturday, when hundreds of police officers, state troopers and National Guard troops, some in armored vehicles, fanned out into troubled areas, confronting rioters with mass force, tear gas and orders to disperse issued via bullhorn.”
bullshit.. They were no where to be found...
I watched alpha news’ live stream last night. not a cop or guardsman to be found.
Leftwaffe is out in full force, encouraged by Obama and the DNC
Governor Walz has no leadership and has utterly failed to reestablish order. Roving gangs of rioters are now moving at will and are now targeting the suburbs. The Governors curfew was a joke and unarmed National Guard units are having no effect. The police are being overwhelmed. It is time for President Trump to federalize the National Guard and bring in professional armed troops to establish order.
Minnesotans are appealed by this lack of leadership. The Governor was quick to shut down business and churches for exaggerated fears of Corona virus, but when cities are burning with riots all he can do is wring his hands and beat his breast with mea culpas about how we are all steeped with white racism. Minneapolis MayorFrey is an absolute joke and pulled back police to let the rioters burn a police station hoping placate the rioters and I guess to somehow expiate our white racism sins.
This is the result of decades of governance by the liberal DFL party. As one Rev. Wright once said....the chickens have come home to roost. .
Democratic Minnesota Gov Tim Walz Suggests ‘White Supremacists’ to Blame For Riots

Pouring gasoline to set a fire to destroy property is a felony. That person should have been shot dead.
Woman gazing at big piles of stolen ATM $20 bills.....
Not funny that it started a string of leftist riots and so much danger and suffering to people , but here’s my joke:
Too bad if that girl gets some of George Floyd’s counterfeit bills.
