The National Guard was deployed in Minneapolis as hundreds of people looted and rioted into the early hours Monday after a black man was shot dead while trying to flee arrest less than 10 miles from where George Floyd died.
The fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center came as the Twin Cities was already in a state of high alert over the trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin, charged with Floyd’s murder last May.
Wright, who had an outstanding warrant, had been pulled over around 2 p.m. Sunday — and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several blocks, police said.
His mother had quickly raced to the scene — and called for calm as crowds soon joined her there, local media said.
But within hours, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune — many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed.

Just decriminalize all crime for black people.
Just saw the video of this encounter on the news, and in this case, the police looked very very wrong.
Can someone set up a GASOLINE and MATCH stand to help finish Minneapolis?
Well, some things never change.
I think you’re right about that. The idiots will lose no opportunity to break things.
Destroyed, looted or both?
Could you please post a link?
The National Guard is being conditioned to serve the democrats and socialist agenda(s) .... NOT the nation.
No link. Saw it on TV. I’ll look around online.
Stoked the riots and riled the crowds via twitter. I watched them feed the flames last night. A couple lying instigators.
It’s how violent communist revolutions start and grow. It will be a no-go zone, under commie flag.
More importantly... Were they all wearing Slave masks.
20 year old kid, high school drop out, playing gangsta, flashing gang signs and his .45 on social media. Already had a 1 year-old baby
Did he deserve to die in his interactions with police? I don’t know.
Was he destined to have interactions with police? Without a doubt.
What’s missing so far is saying the shooter was white.
Apparently Daunte Wright was white (go to the two minute mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMn8aCkgS5g
I’m also hearing that the police woman that shot him was black, though I can’t confirm this.
What other choice did they have? :-( Heard that before. Any excuse, no excuse. It was for the “cause”. Cause someone still had merchandise.
