Protesters Enter Minneapolis Police Station, Set Fires

Protesters angered by the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who died while in police custody, gained access to a Minneapolis police precinct on Thursday, the third straight night of violent protests spreading beyond the city.

Livestream video showed the protesters entering the building, where fire alarms blared and sprinklers ran as blazes were set.

Dozens of businesses across the Twin Cities were boarding up their windows and doors Thursday in an effort to prevent looting, with the Minneapolis-based Target announcing it was temporarily closing two dozen area stores. Minneapolis shut down nearly its entire light-rail system and all bus service through Sunday out of safety concerns.

“I think that’s when the choice was made to either enforce or stand down, by “someone.” The Justin Trudeau lookalike mayor is busy sobbing and cowering under his bed.”

Possibly related to Bob Dylan?

Or penning another apology speech about "400 years" of injustice to entertain the race hustlers.

The experience a friend of mine had was that the warehouse he worked at elected to stay open, so all the employees were bringing their boomsticks to work with them, not only to protect themselves during their commute to work but also to defend the business with if need be. They set a watch and the plan was that if any of the ruckus got close the watch was to advise and keep track about it and if badguys got closer than a predetermined distance only then would they "show teeth" and bounce some rounds downrange to make the outlaws scamper. Never came to that, the destruction halted two blocks away. Friend was an Army Ranger and a number of other employees were former infantry riflemen, so the thugs would have been in deep dookey if they'd tangled with that bunch.

Much of the blame for the mayhem can be laid right at the feet of the Communist “media”. They are inciting as much violence as possible.

As I stated in another thread, my feelings toward the MSM go beyond hatred. I hate them so much that I words can’t express my true feelings.

I would be banned for life from Free Republic if I stated what I wish would happen to the “media” and their partners in crime, such as antifa, George Soros, etc.

This just in: Precinct 5 abandoned as looters storm the building and smash the toilets! Cops have nothing to go on.

They needed reinforcements the first night of rioting when I saw a solid line of bicycle cops at the precinct suddenly shrink down and do nothing more than put up crowd control barricades instead of holding their ground and calling for backup.

I think that’s when the choice was made to either enforce or stand down, by “someone.” The Justin Trudeau lookalike mayor is busy sobbing and cowering under his bed.

I’ve noticed these major league PUSSIES appearing more and more in positions of political “power”. Is this becoming the archetype of the people the globalists plan to place in power? Damn, these pajama boys make me want to BATF.

I think the death of this guy was horrible but I can’t blame all police.....the police will probably do what they did in Baltimore.....just stop policing black areas....the crime rate will skyrocket and the black police chief will end up begging the police to stop the damage...

I was watching one video of a guy busting all the windows at the Autozone (which later burned). The guy was by himself dressed in black with a full-face respirator on. He was as white as these guys.

Rumor is that he is a cop. But hard to say with only his eyes and cheeks showing. I’m guessing Antifa - their symbols were drawn on the burning buildings and on the police station.

Not too many houses right there - but you move off a few blocks and there are. One of the buildings they burned down was a huge apartment building under construction - was to be for affordable housing.

I was just looking on Google Earth and my aunt had pretty nice large house in a quiet neighborhood and was just across the street from Minnehaha Creek and the green belt. 150’ x 200’ lot or more. Nice lawn, big shade trees, white picket fence. It is about 2 miles south of the riots. An entirely different world though.

How many and what type of weapons were stolen by the rioters?

I was just going to ask, if the cops left an armory full of weapons, when they left.

Don’t forget CCP China . They have HUGE influence and control within our media. We literally have treasonous enemy agents delivering subversive propaganda within our own country 24/7.

Where is the national guard?!

Where are cops; who are to 'serve and protect'; that are capable of even 'protecting' themselves?
