Riots, over the death of George Floyd, in Minneapolis continued for a third night and spread to other cities

A third night of racially charged arson, looting and vandalism gripped Minneapolis as protesters vented rage over the death of an unarmed black man after a white police officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground following arrest.

“Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Trump wrote.

Protesters were later observed on the roof, and a crowd of hundreds lingered around the building for hours, feeding flames with hunks of plywood and other debris.— Mukhtar M. Ibrahim May 29, 2020‘Strong as hell’

The mayor said many of the troops had been posted around the city to help police prevent looting of banks, grocery stores, pharmacies and other essential locations during the coronavirus pandemic. Garner’s dying words became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement that formed amid a wave of killings of African-Americans by police.

Said this before: Most of the damage was done by opportunist, when you see “down with capitalism” spray-painted on a burnt down building you know that had nothing to do with protesting George Floyd. Antifa and other anarchist seizing opportunity.

Out of town Soros-paid Antifa & BLM burns down another city. This has nothing to do with the poor man's death. The msm know that.

Protesters? Rioters maybe but not protestors. And where did they all come from? Out of state?

Abandon the city. Wall them in and let them govern themselves.

Yes and not it was unforgivable what the cop did too the man . But does not help there cause. When the protesters goes too thuggery and chaos . For all people are going remember that 👿

those are not protesters they are looters and thieves
