MINNEAPOLIS - Crowds vandalized buildings and stole from businesses in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighborhood after officials said a man wanted for illegally possessing a gun was fatally shot by authorities who were part of a task force trying to arrest him that included U.S. Marshals.

Following the Thursday afternoon shooting, a small crowd gathered in the neighborhood where the man was shot, shouting expletives at police.

Later in the night, people vandalized “numerous” buildings and looted some, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said in a email to reporters early Friday. A dumpster was burned and windows were smashed. Arrest totals weren’t expected to be available until later Friday.

Little is known about Thursday’s shooting. The U.S. Marshals Service said a task force was trying to arrest the man on a state warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

These lawbreakers need to be rounded up and punished. Allowing this will bring on complete anarchy.

LEOs need to stop arresting black people in blue areas.

[Sans-Culotte]

This is just getting hilarious now.

[unixfox]

Obviously they need to put the police in prison and defund them even more.

It’s the only way.

And if they declared open season on Looters and Rioters and implement a policy of SHOOT ON SIGHT, this would NEVER happen again.

What? Haven’t cops learned that when in the ghetto, FIDO is the rule?

[SeeSharp]

Walls work.

If the cops don’t get control Minneapolis soon, law enforcement is going to become impossible.
The Democrats thing Jan 06 was an ‘insurrection’ but places like Portland and Minneapolis have become ungovernable.

Elections have consequences.

50/50
Either this crap would end, or the rioters would break out their own weapons and declare open season on cops and law abiding citizens.

I’m sure the FBI will be posting pictures of the rioters and looters on their website asking for tips on identifying them, and then they’ll put up billboards with their pictures on them. They’ll send agents swarming into Mpls to sweep them up and hold them in solitary confinement without bail. Oh wait, that’s just for suspected Trump supporters.

In the case of urban governments, I would say “Spinelessness has consequences.”

” Arrest totals weren’t expected to be available until later Friday.”

I’ll be much more interested in the total cases that actually go to trial, instead of being quietly dropped. Bet that number will be close to zero.

Minneapolis Uptown.
Hipster Central for those who supported BLM but didn’t want to live in the community they burned down.

mostly peaceful...

When is some Chief going to stand in front of a mic and say:

"If you pull a gun on a cop, it is our duty to stop you before you can kill us.!"

???

Free TVs at Target during riots!

LEOs need to stop patrolling or responding to 911 calls in Blue areas........................

When is some Chief going to stand in front of a mic and say: "If you pull a gun on a cop, it is our duty to stop you before you can kill us.!"

Just before he is fired by the city's traitorous kakistocracy.
