Rioters have set the Minneapolis police station on fire.

The police station fire is just one of many that have broken out across the city during the third straight night of protests, looting and riots.

Reports say protestors forcibly entered the building and lit several fires inside. The Minnesota National Guard has been activated and 500 soldiers are on their way to the city. The police department appears to have evacuated the building, and the fire department has not responded. The entire police station is now on fire in Minneapolis and police and firefighters have been instructed to stand down. The city is going to burn to the ground tonight.

Disgusting! They should rot in...

U can thank those 4 A**hole cops for all this. RIPGeorgeFloyd 🙏🏻

Good

Good.

This makes sense. What happened was fucked, take it out on the police and the government for not doing anything about it. HOWEVER, you don’t burn down the entire city! Completely defeats the purpose of what you’re trying to get through.

So are these protesters or people sent there to start these🔥to spin a different story for the government to make the government look good 🤔

Praying for justice.

The burning & looting is just taking away from George Floyds death. Instead of covering protesters who are calling for justice they are covering destruction of peoples property who had nothing to do with his death. We need to keep the focus on the real issue GeorgeFloydMurder

A bunch of animals!!

Sissy man mayor allows it to happen! Why are the police not using there weapons? Can’t allow this slime to get away with this 🤮

This is a result from ALL THE HATE TRUMP SPITS EVERYDAY. HIM AND HIS WHITE SUPREMACISTS😡

They’re not rioting. They’re rebelling. The time has come. Enough is enough. 🐷 👮‍♀️ have pushed people over the cliff.

Im a 1000% in disagreement with what happened to George Floyd😔 Justice needs to be done but I also think this is NOT how you make things better. The hate towards cops when we know there are good cops and is not fair for them bc ironically if we are in danger who do we call?

Burn it down.

You called it right. Rioters not protesters.

once they make the one arrest of a person who is in this riot they are gonna go crazy.

Peaceful protest has been proven to not work. Every other week a Black person is killed by a racist cop & the justice is rarely served. Imagine feeling so betrayed that this is your retaliation? They have been left with no choice. So heartbreaking.

Minneapolis looks absolutely pathetic right now - f*ck that entire city.

Yes burn down your own neighborhood! Way to really deliver your message. Dummies.

Thugs

That’ll help.

Ur all pathetic

As long as they’re doing this I care less and less by the minute.

Well that got someone’s attention

This is not a riot this is a community that is fed up with police brutality

No justice, no peace

Bunch of ANIMALS. Shame on them. This is NOT justice for floydgeorge this is garbage doing their crImes. These businesses didn’t have anything to do with it & now they are screwed. Robbed destroyed and burned, what POS people. Period. Now the focus is off the real tragedy.

Animals

Now what is the point of that

Wish I was there to help y'all out.

Maybe now they’ll pay attention!!

Burn Down Babylon !

Shoot them all

👌

Let's say the last few days it was a peaceful protest to ask to arrest the police now they got to show they're patient is over it took a few seconds for them to kill . now it only will should take a few minute for you to arrest no peace until then understand that.

Great

Any excuse for them to get a tv or publicity!!! Im Italian and have been persecuted for years Get over it baby’s

Sooks

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Good.

At least this “target” makes sense.

I LOVE THIS!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

wouldn't be surprised if the cops started the fire themselves

Don’t stop protesting. Don’t stop showing your anger. But don’t step down to the morals of the sinners. EnoughIsEnough GeorgeFloydWasMurdered BlackLiveMatter

We need to be better than them. Burning down police stations and vandalising cars is not going to do anything. Revenge is the difference between the good and the bad. The good know justice. The bad know revenge. Know the difference. GeorgeFlyod

horrific either way.... sad

YESSS

I don't know why I'm happy but I'm.🤗

And this is what people call justice?! Burning the city down? You CAN NOT end violence with MORE violence. It will only create an endless cycle of violence and hatred.

Why cant they just peacefully protest like Martin Luther King Jr. did? This just just makes their community look bad.

I’m seeing these comments saying let it burn burn everything down like y’all realize your destroying evidence and your also taking away innocent peoples homes and jobs

Cops did it to make protesters look bad.

Burn baby burn🔥

Criminals defending criminals. This is getting to old. I knew this was going to happen. They always ruin their own community. Bunch of losers. Call in the guard and get these criminals.

Trump needs to send in the troops to the whole twin cities asap

Why do you have a racist pig such as Babcock working for you... he supports dirty cops, he always has the wrong point of view when it comes to black & brown people dealing with police brutality. He’s the worst kind of racist... because he is undercover..

Bravo 👏!!!!!! Encore !!!! Encore !!!! Encore !!!!

Right because that’s the answer

Domestic Terrorists

Documents surge showing officer Derek Chauvin receiving 600,000 dollar payment from C.I.A. director Gina Cheri Walker. Sources say that this is possibly linked to a form of 'domestic espionage' by the C.I.A. Stay tuned to CNN for updates.

That what I’m talking about

BURN IT

Well,

Now this is the right target 👌🏼 RIPGeorgeFloyd

All they had to do was arrest the police officer that killed the guy!!! And this whole thing would of been prevented

Couple things wrong with this. One it solves nothing, and two the citizens of Minneapolis will have to pay with taxes to rebuild it. Protest and fight for change, but this ain't it.

Only animals and ppl with zero morals or class behave that way. But by all means go ahead and burn down your own city and cost innocent ppl and stores jobs, etc. 👏

W

Opss! 🖕🏻

They literally fired the policemen involved in the killing of George why do people think doing things like this solve anything. Smh this generations lost it already

All the police busy guarding that pos house 🤬🤮🤬

There you go! 👏🏼

First off, your presumption of masking the crime is nothing but race baiting. Which you’re brilliant at. We have film of the murder. Why on earth do you think this is going unpunished? Now, you can thank the fools destroying the city for a lesser sentence given to the killer cop

That’s in question for me. It’s a matter of who did it?

Let it Burnnnn🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This has zero to do with George Floyd's death.. They are totally disrespecting his life & death.. For those looting & burning the city down it's about what they can get.. Protesters do not burn down cities!

Rioters not knowing how to manage the pain of their hate, just like the killer cop. Permanent damage you can’t take back or recover from. Trump had nothing to do with this but to launch an in-depth investigation and Maxine Waters 😷 alone? You’re both jokes!

Next stop Washington.

🔖🦁 look, when the war ends...... Nobody wins Good night and, God bless you all!✌

Dr. Martin Luther King would be upset at these apes.

that's madness. that doesn't count with the justice we are seeking. it makes the situation worst that it is.

All them police surrounding & protecting that murderers house , i bet no police protecting Asian cop house , bet he feels dumb now...

How do we know the Protestors did this?

Wait... who y’all calling rioters? 🤔

Good

insulated people are always complaining that riots damage too much uninvolved property. they ought to be pretty happy with the focus of this one, then, right?

Don’t burn the police station make the killer SUFFER!!!!!!!!!!

JusticeForFloyd

Good

The whole situation in Minneapolis right now lol

We have two destructive forces terrorizing America -- COVID-19 and the aggrievement of Black People. George is responsible for his own plight -- reqardless of how one views the incident there is NO reason to riot, loot and burn. Anti-social behavior shouldn't be tolerated.

This is all Obama’s fault. He insulted cops at the end of his term and that’s why there’s riots going every time

Good.. Burn the whole thing down

Good, burn the rest.

This is only gonna make things worse. These people are exactly as stupid and disgusting as the cop who killed him 🤢

Idiots

You want people to feel sorry for you how can we when you loot and burn

No under the excuse of George Floyd

You want to burn your town, go right ahead.

Well see how they feel when that shit explodes because of the gas lines they cut.

The government taught the people what to do... Remember this?

He was Murdered

It’s a police officer goingaround setting things on fire

👏👏👏

I wouldn’t call it a killing. It was a public execution.

GOOD...NOW THEY SHOULD STOP...

DavePOfficial This is the COP who started the fire. Talk abt that TMZ

W

Lol, the protestors are gonna get wrecked pretty soon. Just arrest the officers already

Murder. He was murdered.

On the bright side the burning targets in the black neighborhoods still have Big Sean albums!!!!!!!

George Floyd death. Too soon to say killing

ledtbayy

Please note no one was in Building

This is going to solve everything. Smart people!

What the hell thats going to far !!! I understand they are MAD upset how cops handle it !! 2 wrong doesn’t make it right..

wow yikes

Finally about time

If they don't charge those officers involved, trust me these riots will get worse and worse for them.

Generation Z has arrived.

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.

Minneapolis mayor: 'Bleeding needs to stop'Minneapolis Mayor Frey says a 'culture shift' in the city's police department needs to occur, following the death of George Floyd. “Part of that starts with accountability now ... people talk about healing ... but right now, the bleeding needs to stop.” This nothing but all talk that doesn't prove shit right now. Black people should not be held to a legal standard. Black people should burn down the city. Good things will result.

The Supreme Court Broke Police Accountability. Now It Has the Chance to Fix It.This week, after protests over George Floyd’s death, the Supreme Court may revisit a key doctrine shielding police officers. About time1 Wishful thinking Each department has the ability to make 'within scope' and/or 'color of authority' determinations -- both which removes the qualified immunity. So this USSC piece is a red herring.
