Minneapolis Mom Confronts BLM Protesters after Apartment Shooting: ‘Not a George Floyd Situation’

A Minneapolis mom was captured on video Saturday confronting Black Lives Matter activists who congregated in her neighborhood to protest the fatal police shooting of a gunman who she claimed tried to kill her and her children.

Arabella Foss-Yarbrough called police last Wednesday night after neighbor Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg allegedly fired his gun into her home as she cooked her kids dinner, leaving bullet holes in her front door, walls and above her bathroom sink, photos show.

Two Minneapolis police snipers shot him dead Thursday morning after a long standoff. A pistol with an extended magazine and several bullet casings was found in his apartment, the New York Post reported.

“This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough launched at the protesters who gathered for a march and rally for the man on Saturday, according to the video. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids.”

Ignoring the mom’s pleas for peace on her street, the protesters claimed injustice was done and commemorated Sundberg’s death, leaving candles and flowers around his chalked name on the sidewalk, photos from the Star Tribune indicate.

One protester can be heard telling Foss-Yarbrough “this is not the time” as she recounted the terror she and her children felt as bullets slammed into their home.

The head of BLM Minnesota, Trahern Crews, joined the march to call for transparency from police.

“We’re here to respect life, demand justice, and we’re demanding the release of the body cam footage,” Crews said, according to the Star Tribune.

Foss-Yarbrough was near hysterical with emotion as she confronted the activists, exasperated that they could defend someone who she said attempted murder on her family.

That’s accurate, the cops actually killed this guy.

Having a cop shoot one of your “gentle giants” is the new lottery to a lot of folks. These days, the odds of winning the big bucks is a lot better than the original lottery.

As most of us should figure out by now, BLM was never about protecting black lives. It is all about protecting black criminals, whether they are armed or not.

It is also about protecting antifa criminals as the Kyle Rittenhouse case showed us.

In other words: Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

The political narrative is more important than the truth, even if the narrative is destroying our culture and our neighborhoods.

She doesn’t get it — Derek Chauvin is as much a victim of the mob as she was. Only he’s rotting in jail just for doing his job.

Appealing to her mixed minority race, the mom seemed upset that the protesters were advocating for the gunman’s lost life but not those of her and her children.

“I have Black children; I am a woman of color!,” she declared. “If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?” “Yes, ma’am,” Crews said.


A protest is a protest

I didn’t expect to see so many white, middle-aged, leftist cucks. But it is Minneapolis, after all.

Lol. Black woman walks up on her then tells her not to poke her finger in her face.

Arabella Foss-Yarbrough is a very brave, tough lady.

BLM was never about protecting black lives. It is all about protecting black criminals, whether they are armed or not.

BLM was a political-action force organized specifically by Obama and Holder, to push Obama's domestic political agenda.

Well, that too! The street violence is one of the tools in their domestic political agenda.

I don't recall when BLM first showed up, but I think it was about the time St. Trayvon Martin was beating the head of a "white hispanic" into the sidewalk.

Especially since they can get their family bum with low IQ and poor impulse control all worked up and indignant about fake police brutality. Throw them a few bucks for their drug habit and it almost guarantees a death during a police interaction.

Yahoo says she “mixed minority race”.

I guess if she opposes BLM, just Joe Biden says: “she ain’t black”.

The “George Floyd situation” wasn’t a George Floyd situation.
