There is truth to what you say. I’m gonna quote you directly from Facebook what a protestor wrote about other “protestors”...

A decent chunk of yesterday was spent speaking to other white males and telling them not to break into businesses or burn down businesses of color, both in Midway and over South. A whole lot of white ‘anarchists’ are out here not from the Twin Cities indiscriminately breaking and burning everything. When we told them not to burn or smash a building because it was owned by people of color, some didn’t care and still attacked the building. My friend later put out a fire in that restaurant caused by a white man’s Molotov cocktail. We also saw a black man with a machete enter a recently broken into library and protect it from further damage as local indigenous activists put out a fire in there. Please be aware that so much of this destruction is caused by white men who don’t care about the well-being of communities of color.

This doesn’t say what race they are but it gives some names:

2016 : (BLM) The Marxist Lesbians who Founded #BlackLivesMatter, The Coach’s Team ^ | 7/24/16 | Doug Book
Posted on ?7?/?24?/?2016? ?11?:?47?:?47? ?AM by Oldpuppymax
“BLM is a gay group. It was started by two lesbians and its most prominent spokesman is a gay man.” Of course Ann Coulter’s revelation of the homosexual/lesbian/queer/bi-sexual/transsexual bent of #BlackLivesMatter Founders and VIPs may not apply to Charles Wade, BLM activist and Co-Founder of Operation Help or Hush, the organization which attempted to posthumously transform Ferguson thug Michael Brown into an abused Teddy Bear. Wade was arrested in College Park, Maryland this past April [2016] for sex trafficking—that is, pimping—a 17 year old girl in the motel where he was staying. No doubt Wade was raising funds for the cause.
The first of the BLM founders, Alicia Garza, states that she created #BlackLivesMatter as “…an online platform…designed to connect people interested in learning more about and fighting back against anti-Black racism.”
And it is anti-black racism only which occupies Garza’s interest. In fact, when it was suggested that AllLivesMatter (hashtag optional) replace #BlackLivesMatter during a particular event, Garza would have none of it, writing that:
“When we deploy “All Lives Matter” as to correct an intervention specifically created to address anti-blackness…we lose the ways in which the state apparatus has built a program of genocide and repression mostly on the backs of Black people…” “We perpetuate a level of White supremacist domination by reproducing a tired trope that we are all the same, rather than acknowledging that non-Black oppressed people in this country are both impacted by racism and domination, and simultaneously, BENEFIT from anti-black racism.”
In short, as only Blacks are really, really oppressed, it only perpetuates White domination to suggest that people-even other minorities-are in any way all the same. In fact, because there is SO much anti-Black racism, even when non-Black groups are oppressed, they still BENEFIT...

This is a Biden rally with Democrats doing typical Democrat activities. Elect more Democrats, and you’ll see more of these celebrations and rallies.

By the way, if black lives matter, then they ought to take out the Planned Parenthood locations and other abortuaries, where most black lives in America end even before a chance at birth.

It is obvious that Gov. Walz has failed miserably and his deployment of the National Guard was a sham as the Guard was left clueless what to do. The curfews are a joke and the mobs are roaming at will and now moving into the suburbs. Time for President Trump to federalize the National Guard and because of the total breakdown of law enforcement possibly declare marital law.

Per local TV stations in the Twin Cities, the crowd around the Mpls Police 5th Precinct HQ has grown. More fires are being set around the area.

The Wells Fargo Bank is being broken into near Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue.

The K-Mart across the street (BTW which is closing) has been breached and is being looted.

Why would or should they obey the curfews if there are no consequences?

I hate to say this but some people in the Minnesota National Guard could be out there looting tonight.

Not meant to disparage the good Soldiers in the Minnesota National Guard.

The Guard is a cross section of society.

So it’s okay to burn and pillage as long as it’s not a black owned business I see.

"The National Guard, nowhere to be seen, the state police, nowhere to be seen, the local police, nowhere to be seen, the sheriff's department, nowhere to be seen.

Still think guns are a bad idea? God bless the 2nd Amendment!

The people of Minnesota can be proud of their elected Democrat Farm Labor officials, who have surrendered the twin cities to the thugs without a fight. I hope they burn it to the ground. Maybe then the voters will decide its time for a change.
