: US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the Minnesota protests in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody, tweeting "when the looting starts, the shooting starts".
The prospect of deliberate disinformation worsening the situation prompted the Minneapolis police department to identify a false rumour claiming that one of its police officers was encouraging lawless activity. At one point, officers stood in line in front of a Target store, trying to keep out looters, who were also smashing windows of other businesses.
Earlier on Thursday , Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called in the National Guard to try to stem the violence. The Guard said 500 members had been mobilised. "We don't want to be here fighting against anyone. We don't want anyone to be hurt. We don't want to cause any damages," she said. "We just want the police officer to be held accountable."
Among the casualties of the overnight fires: a six-storey building under construction that was to provide nearly 200 apartments of affordable housing.
Let's start the revolution against authoritarians
Bring in the National Guard to clean this up. Obviously the socialist left Mayor can’t do his job.
If it looks like a failed state and acts like a failed state...
I wonder what Hong Kong protestors calling on the US to save them think when they see protestors in the US met with tear gas and rubber bullets and the National Guard, and a Twit-in-Chief warning that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”?
It's utterly hypocritical and disgraceful for these pollies to promote and tolerate the looting in HK, at the same time, to have another different face to Minneapolis looting.
and sent the media into delirium.
Wrong. white supremacist systems that allow the unchecked murder of innocent Black and Brown bodies forces citizens to breaking point.
God would not be happy
Extraordinarily inflammatory reaction from Trump has a historical precedent Minneapolis
What the fuck is this year
