Angry protesters lit fires, looted stores and taunted cops in Minneapolis Thursday after officers shot and killed a man — who was a fugitive who whipped out a handgun when authorities closed in on him.
Members of a US Marshals task force were attempting to arrest the felon around 2 p.m. on a state warrant for being a criminal in possession of a firearm, authorities said.

The price is kind of high, but at least these losers are going down, one by one.

They didn’t excuse him when he whipped it out.

Sounds like Boogie could have been talked down by a team of trained street psychologists.

Nah, a weekend workshop trained SJW Social Worker could have easily handled that. (Morons!)

“Stop burning s–t!” one infuriated woman told people standing staring at one of the fires
yep. the locals get it. she'll have to buy her liquor someplace else now, because the liquor store was found guilty of social injustice by the mob and burned down.

A community where producers want to live will never be one that is best described as anarchy.
Without the rule of law there is nothing that will retain a tax base. Add in the blue city/state social spending and high taxes on those who have not yet fled and this is a certain formula for a death spiral.

The police department’s PR guy should say the cop was a Muslim on his way to prayer when he mistook Boogie for an innocent fetus that needed aborting to save the community from white supremacist global warming.

Obviously not the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B.
I wonder of Boogie ever dated Bogie from All Girls Garage?
He was probably harassed as a Child being called the Boogie Man.
I heard ZZ Top named a song after him, Tube Steak Boogie.
I’ll be here all week.

All these Lefties demand America “re-imagine policing.”
What that means is all blacks should be able to freely commit felonies without fear of arrest.
Won’t big cities then be fun to visit?
It’s too bad people can’t “re-imagine” everyone obeying the law.

According to information WCCO has gathered, Smith was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2017, received a stayed prison sentence and was put on probation. Smith also had a felony conviction out of Ramsey County for firearm possession in which he failed to appear for sentencing on May 19. As a result this warrant for his arrest was issued.
more info from the link in the story.

The monumental stupidity of these people is astounding..
The poverty that is coming on these communities will be richly deserved.
The locals should have been shooting rioters and looters years ago, it would have put an end to the riots and prevented the poverty they cause.

“Members of a US Marshals task force were attempting to arrest the felon . . .”
That is federal police. This death is at the hands of Biden and Harris.
Now what?

Next up, the Boogie Smith amendment to the George Floyd Act. This will penalize any Officer who carries a loaded weapon while on the job. It will treat the Officer the same as a felon in possession.

At some point in time (soon?) Minneapolis will just have to be buried, along with the garbage.
