St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter (D) said Saturday that all of the protesters who were arrested in his city the previous night were from out of state as demonstrations in and around Minneapolis over George Floyd’s death descended into violence.
Carter said there was not a high number of arrests in St. Paul on Friday night due in part to a curfew, but suggested that out-of-staters were behind much of the agitation fueling the violence.
“Because we had a relative stillness in St. Paul, we didn’t make an enormous number of arrests, but every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state. What we are seeing right now is a group of people who are not from here,” Carter said at a press conference.
“As I talk to my friends who have been in this movement for a very long time, who wake up in this movement every day and I ask them what they’re seeing, what they’re feeling, what they’re hearing, to a person, I hear them say ‘we don’t know these folks. We don’t know these folks who are agitating, we don’t know these folks who are inciting violence, we don’t know these folks who are first in to break a window.’”

Turn them over to the Feds, or are you in a Sanctuary zone?
Plenty of sheep in those Democrat-run cities who want to get their "piece of the pie" as Moochie Obama calls it.

“basic good sense to keep these rioters in custody and charge them”
In a sane and just world, but certainly not the world we inhabit. They will be let go, no bail, own recognizance, and disappear, never to be seen again.
once they identify who paid their travel the local businesses will have someone to reach out and touch for damages
Seems that we had a thread yesterday on funding for bail for rioters. Are they using this funding to bail out white supremacists? Follow the money.
President Dr. Trump is right. They are professional agitators. The only question is, who is paying them?
Why did the police car that Floyd was on the ground next to have a vanity Minnesota license plate that read “POLICE”?
“So it’s not my fault or responsibility.”
Don’t ask for the job if you can’t do it.
It’s great when you’re on tv virtue signaling and handing out money that isn’t yours, but when thenatural consequences of your actions come around and bite you in the behind, then it’s not your fault or your responsibility.
Dang your hide. Beat me by 4 seconds.
Because that’s they way Minnesota does it:
Just like out of state voters.
Yeah, so all the tears shed by Cornel West, Van Jones and others are based on this duplicity.
False Flag bump for later....
I do. There were plenty of blacks rioting, and most were from the area.
I want names and mugshots and where they were from..this is just more bullshit to blame so-called white supremacists.
Soros is behind all this.
Thank you for the affirmation.
Is he allowed to say this out loud?
What better means for Soros and other anti-American entities to use to give them “cover” for inserting COMMUNIST sponsored TERRORISTS into large American cities to destroy the CAPITALIST system that supports them.
