MINNEAPOLIS — A tanker truck drove into a throng of protesters on a closed interstate near Minneapolis on Sunday, with the driver pulled from his rig and beaten, as major U.S. cities imposed curfews in fear of another night of demonstrations against police brutality descending into violence. It did not appear any of the marchers were injured when the truck raced towards them on I-35, blowing its horn, sending protesters scattering before coming to a stop, according to the witness and a tweet by the Minnesota Department of Public Security (MNDPS). Police arrived soon after and arrested the truck driver,...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said “nobody really knows” who is driving the raucous violence at protests related to the death of George Floyd and faulted the Justice Department for casting blame on left-wing militants. He said Attorney General William Barr, who pointed to “Antifa-like” tactics in the protests, should be investigating instead of “making incendiary comments.” “The truth is, nobody really knows,” Mr. Ellison told NBC’s Meet the Press. “What the exact political motivation is is unclear at this point.”

CNN Tonight host Don Lemon suffered a meltdown for the ages Saturday night, spending almost 11 minutes unloading his disdain for America in 2020 and, except for a mealy-mouthed condemnation, giving support for the rioting and other criminal acts supposedly done to mourn the Monday death of Minneapolis African-American man George Floyd. Lemon’s defense? Apparently, this will all serve as a “mechanism for a restructure of our country or for some sort of change,” ostensibly in our criminal justice and political system seeing as how so many feel as though they “have nothing to lose.” And for those upset with...

Stores from mom-and-pops to high-end retailers in ritzy Beverly Hills were looted, and in downtown Los Angeles, protesters sprayed graffiti and torched police cruisers while police shot rubber bullets into crowds and were seen beating demonstrators with batons. . . . LA Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a curfew in downtown LA starting 8p.m. Saturday through to 5:30a.m. Sunday, in desperate efforts to restore some order as he urged both law enforcement and protesters to 'take a deep breath and step back for a moment'. Garcetti said he would stop short of calling for the activation of the National Guard.

I have a nonviolent way to handle looters.

Our country, at this moment, is facing a constellation of challenges that touch fundamental precepts of our society, and these are challenges that need to be met head-on with courage and with a commitment to the only values that can truly unite us — values of respect for each individual person and that foster a culture of inclusion and opportunity for every person. If this nation feels like it is pulling itself apart, it is because Floyd’s death is a Minneapolis story with a corollary in every community. It’s also because some would take us down the wrong path. While...

Gov. Tim Walz vowed Saturday to fully mobilize the National Guard to combat what he called a "tightly controlled" group of outside agitators who have turned city streets into scenes of looting and arson. . . . By all accounts, law enforcement presence was almost undetectable as the violence rapidly accelerated until just before midnight and into early Saturday, when hundreds of police officers, state troopers and National Guard troops, some in armored vehicles, fanned out into troubled areas, confronting rioters with mass force, tear gas and orders to disperse issued via bullhorn. And yet, those efforts had visibly little...

'Two Federal Protective Services officers stationed at the Oakland Downtown Federal Building suffered gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, one succumbed to his injury,' the police department told CNN. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old protester was shot dead in Detroit last night, while soldiers in North Carolina and in New York were ordered to be ready to move in within four hours and troops in Colorado and Kansas within 24 hours. . . . Overnight, Trump also commented on a tweet by Former Democrats for Trump about how Minneapolis was ruled by Democrats, saying: 'Time for a change! #2020', which was retweeted more than 25,000...

Breonna Taylor’s death brought together hundreds of protesters in downtown Louisville on Thursday night to demand justice for Taylor, the unarmed African American woman who was shot and killed by Louisville Metro Police officers in March. The protest started out peacefully before turning violent, with at least seven people shot and wounded by an unknown assailant or assailants. Police officers at the protest did not fire their guns, according to LMPD. One person who was shot is in “critical” condition, police said. According to a statement from Mayor Greg Fischer early Friday morning, two victims were sent to surgery. All...

Cornell said the company hasn’t yet been able to safely send teams in to inspect the store during what he called a painful and heartbreaking week. “It’s just so hard to tell until you get the team inside and really understand the extent of the damages,” he told the Star Tribune. “But we’ll do our very best to get the store back up and running as soon as we can, hopefully by the end of the year.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Friday admitted an 'abject failure' by law enforcement in trying to control crowds of rioters who took over Minneapolis on Thursday night, torching buildings and overrunning a police station, as a city-wide curfew was declared between the hours of 8pm and 6am. . . . On Thursday, as tensions in the city boiled all day, the National Guard started putting in motion plans to intervene to help local law enforcement agencies that were struggling to cope with the mounting threat. But they weren't given the order to act quickly enough, according to officials who spoke...

The National Guard has arrived on the scene. They are in Minneapolis and fully prepared. George Floyd will not have died in vain. Respect his memory!!!
-
... And I bet Dem Governor Walz will make sure to contract trace all of them; you just watch! Dems even want to trace these criminals, right, much less track them, right? /sarcasm. Dems and the MSM throw a fit anytime there is a peaceful protest and are sure to complain if someone isn't wearing a mask and if they aren't standing 6 ft. apart. If you don't follow those rules, you might get thrown in jail as they've made lots of room letting the real criminals out. We truly are living in Clown World.

As of this writing, protests are still going on in Minneapolis over the death of Geroge Floyd, who died in police custody Monday. Reporter Ricardo Lopez is there and says police cars are getting trashed Thursday afternoon as police try to protect businesses, some of which have put signs like “This is a black-owned business” up in their windows to try to stave off looters. . . .

NBC is prohibiting reporters from using the word “riot” in its coverage of violent outbursts in Minnesota that have occurred in response to the killing of George Floyd. “While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as ‘protests’–not riots,” NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.

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.

“It’s just too dangerous for us to be there right now,” WCCO’s Jeff Wagner reported last night. While protesters surrounded the Minneapolis police department’s 3rd Precinct for the second straight night to demand action after the death of George Floyd, others looted nearby stores and set fire to the Autozone across from the precinct. The National Guard got called out to replace police for crowd control:

Ilhan Omar voiced her support for demonstrators in Minneapolis who took to the streets Wednesday night upset with the killing of an unarmed black man in the city whose death in police custody has galvanized African Americans across the country.

"Frustrated that we keep finding ourselves in this position as a city.
