Over the weekend, a speaker at a Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis encouraged the crowd to burn down police stations and continue looting and rioting they way the city experienced during the 2020 BLM riots.
The protest came after 22-year-old Amir Locke was killed by Minneapolis police during a no-knock raid while serving a search warrant last week. Body camera footage showed police unlocking the door to the apartment and then shouting "Police!" as they entered. Locke was asleep on the couch and wrapped in a blanket. Within nine seconds, police shot Locke after seeing he was armed with a handgun. Locke was not named in the warrant, according to Fox News.
The protest, which was attended by about 1,000 people, was peaceful. But, some wanted to take things further.
"Feel your anger fully. Be mad! BE MAD! Because your anger is justified. Build barricades, burn precincts, reappropriate what they've stolen from you for thousands of generations!" one speaker said on Saturday.

Did you read anything useful about the case.
They used a key to open the door no bashing in of any door.
That’s actually worse - nobody would expect cops to be opening your door from the outside with a key.
Or the long standing tradition on free republic to comment before reading an article.
Bouncy terrorist video....
But the followup video shows AOC arriving and burying her face in her hands while sobbing uncontrollably. Caged in there like an animal.
The word on the street is the speaker meant all that in a nice way.
Not like President Trump saying he admires the energy of people who protest election fraud. Not wild stuff.
democrats have given blm criminals a free pass. dems worked together with blm in 2020 to plan, implement and promote the riots. dems gave them moral and material support.
They are not going to prosecute blm for its crimes.
It is why Judges, DA’s and Cops should be Swatted on a Regular Basis
Hey. They can’t do that!!
Oooppps. Well, yes, they can cause theys ain’t no trucker.
I’m not asking as a way to blame the victim, or justify no-knock raids, but to try to get a grip on facts.
Was the targeted apartment Amir Lockes’ residence?
If not, why was he there? (Not illegal to visit someone).
Were the persons ought in the warrant actually at the apartment the police raided?
Why were they the subject of a warrant?
Why was Amir Locke armed with a handgun?
Was evidence of illegal activity discovered at the apartment?
Why didn’t the police know that Amir Locke was present before the raid? Would scoping out who you are likely to encounter be SOP so cops aren’t ambushed?
You mean the cops, judge and ‘da’ had information that we, as Monday morning sheriffs, don’t have? How is that possible? /S
No walking around money, no free masks, no food for temporary kitchens, no pallets of bricks, no van loads of fake 'hand made' signs, no packs of spray paint. None. Nada. ZIP.
One lives longer when you don’t point a gun at a cop regardless of the color of your skin.
Comply, don’t die. 99.9% of the time folks will lose on the street.
The joke’s on BLM.
There ain’t no police stations left in Minneapolis to burn.
Not quite. They only burned 1 of the 5. Still 4 to go. At least 3 of which might actually deserve it because of crap just like this.
Fun fact, the guy who shot Amir was also one of the potato heads who were shooting random people on the streets from an unmarked van after the riots with less than lethal rounds.
