Watch: News Crew ​​​​​​​Records Moment Hail Of Gunfire Breaks Out At George Floyd Memorial
Gold News USA ^ | 5-25-2021

Just another Tuesday in Liberal-run Minneapolis where a reporter and his news team ducked for cover after a hail of gunfire was heard near the intersection where George Floyd died.

AP’s Philip Crowther was shooting live video from 38th and Chicago when as many as 30 gunshots were heard one block from the intersection where George Floyd was killed last year.

Minneapolis Police Department responded to reports of a shooting at around 1000 local time around 3800 block of Elliot Ave. South, or about a block away from Floyd’s memorial. Witnesses on the ground saw a vehicle speed away from the scene.

“Very quickly, things got back to normal,” Crowther said. “People here who spend a significant amount of time, the organizers, were running around asking, ‘Does anyone need a medic?’ It seems like there are no injuries.”

The intersection was recently transformed into a memorial since his death this day last year. A gathering has been planned for later this afternoon to mark the anniversary.

Nevertheless, defunding police is not going so well in Minneapolis, with the metro area transforming into a chaotic and violent hellhole.

Must be those White terrorists I keep hearing about, the ones government says are “the greatest threat to America.”

Since the PO-lice have been defunded in Minneapolis the social workers must get after them right away.

Must abolish the rest of the police before the situation escalates. /s

A mob warning to those who might snitch about where the funny money came from?

A warning to the employees who called the police last year on this day?

“Random”?

The idiotic movement for the idiot has borne its perfect fruit.

” things got back to normal, when as many as 30 gunshots were heard one block from the intersection”

Did a little sentence scramble, and arrived a little closer to the truth!

In the middle of the video is some older guy standing there and walking around trying to get a better look.

Everyone else is ducking and he’s standing there like he’s invincible.

Maybe he’s not worried about dying but what an idiot. It’s not like he’s watching an accident scene. It appears he’s totally unaware that one of the bullets could find him.

Meanwhile the reporter about wet his pants.

A man near the display appears to have been hit. Right at beginning of video, he’s behind the reporter and tall man walking. He scramble/crawls to display, and as he does so, you can see what looks to be a handgun, then he goes prone and doesn’t move.

Well, that’s a good explanation too. I just was surprised at how still he went. I would have peeked!

We’ll never know!
