Police used tear gas, headline makes it sound like they used VX or something

My money is on chaos agents setting fire to the buildings, not protesters

Someone tell Ari the reason why they shot and launched tear gas is because there a curfew. They want people off the streets by 9. Ari is a little slow. Hence this pic of him surrounded by tear gas. LOL! Foggy lense=surrounded.

Rioters Set Minneapolis Police Station on Fire Over George Floyd KillingRioters have set the Minneapolis police station on fire. This wouldn't have happened today if they indicted the cop. When people say, 'No justice, No Peace' I guess they really mean it. No amount of burning buildings will disturb me as much as watching George Floyd die. If they don't charge those officers involved, trust me these riots will get worse and worse for them.
