State troopers have already been called in and Mayor Jacob Frey asked for the National Guard's help after one suspected looter was fatally shot and stores were left ransacked and torched.

Shocking images Thursday morning show the widespread destruction left in the wake of the protests over the death of Floyd in police custody on Monday.

Chaos first erupted Tuesday after footage showed a white police officer knelt on the father-of-two's neck for eight minutes. By Wednesday stores including Wendy's, Target, Walmart and AutoZone had been looted, ransacked and some set alight before rioters tried to bust open an ATM.

The cops were accused of punishing that black man as if he was some kind of animal .... so now to protest his death all the animals come out looking for free stuff and to damage other innocent peoples property..... That’s real FAIRNESS!!

Neo-Bolsheviks doing what neo-Bolsheviks do. Has very little (if anything at all!) to do with race issues.

Would it be legal for a private business owner to hire some armed, licensed security people/friends and just stand guard over the building/contents?

The Mayor seems like someone who checked himself out of rehab after 4 hours.

What is the extra help for? To arrest looters that aren’t wearing masks?

Looters will be ticketed instead of being arrested.

I imagine Minneapolis’ American blacks will put aside their disgust for Somalis, for the sake of rioting and burning and destroying white folks’ stuff together.

My guess is if you ask these rioter/looters who George Floyd is, they’d answer, “Who???”
