MINNEAPOLIS—Riots took hold of U.S. cities Saturday night, as protests over the death of George Floyd turned violent across the country for a second night in a row.
Protesters lighted cars on fire in New York, Seattle and Philadelphia. In Los Angeles, demonstrators kicked in the windshields of police cars, torched a police outpost in an outdoor shopping mall, and looted Nordstrom and Ray Ban stores. Police shot rubber bullets and swung their batons at demonstrators.
In Minnesota, where protests began this week after the death of Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis police custody Monday, Gov. Tim Walz pleaded with residents to obey an 8 p.m. curfew. Mr. Walz said he was fully mobilizing the state’s National Guard after a night of rioting and violence, leaving open the possibility of requesting federal troops; forces from other states had also been readied to deploy to Minnesota.
When police began trying to move protesters off the street at 8 p.m., the gathering, which had remained largely peaceful to that point, grew violent.
Police shot rubber bullets and tear gas at the crowd. Protesters fired back with purple smoke bombs. Graffiti covered much of the area, where some buildings were still smoking from the night before.
However, there were no signs of the widespread arson, looting and property damage that has left stretches of the Twin Cities in ruins, according to Minneapolis police chief Medaria Arradondo. City and state officials said they believed a beefed up law enforcement presence was successfully combating the unrest.
“We are in a position of strength, significantly greater tonight in Minneapolis and St. Paul than we were last night,” Maj. Gen. Jon Jensen, leader of the Minnesota National Guard, said at a press conference Saturday night.

Okay that’s enough. When will this garbage end? The military has to go in.
They are trashing historical sites now. Unlike stores, these cannot be replaced.
They are rioters, not “protesters”.
How are they planning to enforce their curfews? If they are caught out after curfew they have to take a “time out” and sit on a “naughty step”??
But but but
Where’s the virus??? Haven’t heard a peep from our betters about the virus!!

Waltz and Frey: Gun salesmen of the decade
I have been clearing brush and weed eating for the last week. Been busier than a one armed paper hanger. Last night I watched TV for the first time in two weeks. Disgusted. Same old chit. 92 riots all over again. I moved from the San Fernando valley 16 years ago. 150 miles into the Sierra. Thank God. All American cities have become communist strongholds. Get out of them ASAP.
The left is very well organized. It didn’t take them long at all to set up countrywide riots. They can’t resist the opportunity to blame Trump for all this.
Just replace “George Floyd’s Death” with “Orange Man Bad” in all these headlines.
It makes just as much sense, and is more accurate.
It has nothing to do with George Floyd’s death. That ended after the first night. It is now a Marxist, leftist, DemonRat agenda at work.
NONE of this rioting had a damn thing to do with George Floyd’s death.
Low IQ negroes wanting free $hit and to beat up on whitey....punk 20-something communist white a**holes funded by George Sore-ass trying to overthrow America in general and President Trump in particular.
