Officers could be seen surrounding the nearby precinct, not attempting to intervene in the looting.
It was the second night of violent protest since the death of Floyd, whom police were seeking to arrest outside a Minneapolis grocery store on a report of a counterfeit bill being passed. A bystander’s cellphone video showed an officer kneeling onThe officer and three others were fired Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Mayor Jacob Frey called for him to be criminally charged.
As the protests stretched into the evening, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo urged calm. In an interview with KMSP-TV, he noted the internal investigation as well as the FBI’s investigation of Floyd’s death and said they offer a chance at justice.
A man didn’t die a man was murdered by a police officer and was helped by two other officers. Please don’t post anything if you are going to minimise the facts. A corona has stated he was suffocated and that it was murder
Remembering former Marine Arthur McDuffie, Miami, beaten to death by police in 1979 after running a red light on his motorcycle. Officers acquitted.
You’re just not going to even Mention Reginald Denny huh...
his name was George.
dont let the elite trick you with ther divide and conquer tacticts the lefts agenda to push communism in america using antifa and these protests as a coverup Now Ain't I Right (Anti-Communism Song)
Your actions state who you are and your position in society. Because one dies does not give another the right to wreak havoc within a community. You are demonstrating who and what you are. Change starts with you.
im so sorry but that picture of the guy flexing gets me laughing everytime 😭😭😂😂😂
murdered in public in police custody other officers stood around to support their homicidal comrade
Police are killing them period
Some people may think how can they do this...the answer is very simple..try to know black Ancestry and see what has happened to black people even now... This can neither be condoned or dismissed. The fact is black people are still slaves in America in all but in name.
Name me a place anywhere but Africa where black people are truly accepted? What did black people, indians, asians and every other so called ethnic minority do to deserve the gross deaths, humiliation, terror, psychological violence inflicted on them in the name of LIES!
America home of the free and land of the brave...hmmm, no need to dissect that. For over 400 years black people have not been 'free' in America and being a victim because of race, culture and or social upbringing only puts that 'American Dream' as B.S!
WOW! I am morally disgusted with alot of these tweets. Is anyone black on here? Everytime I think oh yes 'America' ...yes you mean the place where black lives don't matter, where most white people act superior subliminally and love their guns and social inequality..that America?
So we done with Covid phases?
This is not justice for Mr. Floyd. This is selfish actions by immature individuals.
It's one Target - these people don't have the balls to do anything else.
Probably another person killed by the police.
Let’s get it straight, agent provocateurs are involved
There were a lot of people murdered during the LA riots. I wonder how many people were murdered last night.
Going apeshit won’t accomplish anything, Kneegurs.
What aggravates me the most about the police chief is they’re saying justice doesn’t come from looting. IT CERTAINLY DOESNT COME FROM THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM. KILLER COPS RARELY GET CONVICTED. At least the looting gives a voice to the unheard and they are rightfully angry.
Damn that Target
It was wrong what police did but rioting is not the answer especially how it hurting the already stressed people who are trying to recover for this poor economy do to the covid virus . Peaceful protest will get more people on your side .
These aren't protests or protestors, they're criminal acts being committed by criminals. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd not riots
But now, my question is what is the difference between those people and ISIS that destroyed the US?
How long can diplomacy last for when people are killed by corrupt police officers who are meant to uphold the law but decades in and decades out, there still is no change. The colour of a man's skin should not be the underlying factor as to whether they live or die.
Killed? Omg may they rip.
Why care. Cops playing MortalKombat11Aftermath
The sad part of this is the looting. What part did the companies being looted play in the death of this man? It gives the black race a reputation as thieves and I’m sure they aren’t
LOOTING IS JUSTICE
Please! Everyone in Minneapolis!!!! Start taking turns taking the knee in front of the police station until the police officers are arrested with out bail! Set up endless knee sitting! This will make will break them! Spread out wear your masks. Silence works better than violence!
as they should
The white police are murderers! They killed Indians. They killed Muslims. Now they are killing African-Americans!
Rember getting my first 13inch color TV back then, this time around I'll be going bigger
Wanna report on some other violent crimes?
They say black blood enriches the American soil since 1619 my friends, it is true © Rudel Simon
The death of Floyd was an excuse to make criminal acts ..this isn’t ethical. No excuse for the people’s actions and no respect on the death of this person. People took advantage. Embarrassing during covid-19. Sorry for those businesses who suffered the actions of the people
Protests happen in the daylight..but we all know that’s except the intern writing the headlines
why autozone tho?
Wonder how many people cant go to work now cause store is burned down
The photo you post doesn't look like a 'protest'.
Protest alright Looting wrong
I have never watched or witnessed something so disgusting, and I wish the pigs responsible be in fear for the rest of their short life's!
In both instances blacks are hurting people and looting stores that had nothing to do with the “victims”
Another person has been murdered during the riots....shot to death
You mean riots.
It was police violence and standing there doing nothing were 2 other cops of black and asian decent their all guilty! And now we have to also prococute the one who murdered the shop owner. This is an American fight not a reason to kill
Watts never recovered from the riots!
Protests? It's turning into a bad day in Baghdad back in 2009-2012 after the war ended.
Timberwolves filing for relocation at the NBA Executive Office.
This is not a “protest” this is rioting and should be labeled as such. This behavior is unacceptable. Rioting does not help make positive changes to society.
This is a riot now, the cops made sure to stop the protest yesterday😑
After Oscar Grant's killing in Oakland by cops the city streets became lit when I lived there looting was everywhere but what does stealing sneakers from foot locker accomplish?
Pretty hard to convince the world that you are being unfairly judged and treated by the police and society when you are committing violent crimes at the same time. This is not how you accomplish change, racists just look at this behavior as proof they are right.
Idiots doing what idiots do 🤷🏻♂️
Black Lives Matter, like ANTIFA should be classified as terrorist groups. What would Dr King say if he was alive today? Or the Greensboro Four? Those men knew the only path was that of nonviolence, or they would just set the cause back decades. Violence reinforces stereotypes.
Riots only hurt the people who started the riots. Here we are again and I didn't see the riots change anything. With Trump in office it will only get worse.
say his name
THIS IS MY MESSAGE TO ALL MUNICIPALITIES/CITIES IN THIS CASE .CityMinneapolis AND .MinneapolisPD EITHER CHARGE THEM WITH MURDER OR FACE CIVIL LAWSUITS FOR FACILITATING MURDER UNDER THE RICOSTATUTES REMEMBER THIS FACILITATING ANY FORMS OF CRIMES IS CLASSIFIED AS A FELONY
Democrat lockdowns = rioting : it was only a matter of time before the mental illness led to this. It just needed a trigger.
And many wrongs don't make a right
When I was a kid I saw this on tv and it terrified me of black people
Surprising fact: you can condemn police brutality and riots at the same time.
You mispelled “looting”.
It's like a less violent Boston Tea Party out there.
Most of those in Minnesota were outsiders/actors paid by soros
Why are they letting Minnesota police investigate ANYTHING? Shut them down and call in the national guard.
This is just pure ignorance. That’s acting like animals. Let’s destroy where we live, then let everyone else clean it up. Really? Makes me sick.
Good work libtards, you've now killed someone in exchange
I see the point as nothing has changed...sadly. We need to take the military out of police...strict background as well as psychological reviews. Charge All the Cops with Murder as it was their duty to STOP that other cop from torturing and murdering a human being. protest
CamillaR_TV I've noticed you don't shame the actions of this cops that have killed innocent people ....I think its safe to say the public knows where you stand
Well, you know, joggers gonna jog and stuff
SAY HIS FUCKING NAME COWARDS
Say his name
Korean shop owners, Los Angeles 1992
If justice would've been done, this would not have happened. The injustices blacks go through in this country must stop!
You misspelled 'riots'.
You know what? I don’t care anymore. The rioting is unacceptable - not a good way to get the point across but at the same time, I’m not going to lose sleep over it. I don’t know how many times this country is going to screw over black people and expect us to endure.
El usa bronco.
. . .see the longterm impact from Biden's 1994 Crime bill. . .the one Reagan wouldn't approve earlier because it was too extreme. . .DNC needs to pull Joe out of the race.
Stop the AntiBlackWar or burn in hell 🔥
You got the makings of the 'Perfect Storm' brewing. Pay attention.
They keep killing us.
People are tired.
sexyrain73 Rich white men in suits kill and loot this country every day.
I really doubt this is about 1 death
AngelaBrauerTV Monkey alert!!
Those are rioters, not protesters.
Same old protest hyped up then it’s will all subside like it never happened it will becom just a talking point in our mouth. BLACK PPL it’s about not giving them out $$$ not buying in their white financial business, is where the protest need to be.
Hopefully the proceeds of the justice riots go to the family of George Floyd.
The collective media boner is raging right now. Sick.
BiasedGirl ‘Protests’. What garbage. Call them what they are… riots. Organized mayhem, brought about by the racists of BLM. Not one $ of our tax money should be poured in there. Let the business owners take their insurance & move elsewhere. These ‘protesters’ broke it, they bought it.
Burn down all of the Democratic run cities across the US in honor of Mr Floyd. That’ll show em!!!
If they carried Military assault weapons, were white & hung effigies from trees, bet the police would not had gassed them or shot with rubber bullets; they were unarmed & majority were black;
'Death in police custody.' WTF is wrong with you? He didn't mysteriously die in a holding cell. He was straight-up murdered in broad daylight with cameras rolling.
Hey! AP. ur propaganda is showing...
Note all the black are doing the complaining what about the Black Policeman that shot and killed a white woman ..Not a word from your bunch..Not a word but we did no go out and trash the area and steal from the innocence...that's where you are different..
Why aren’t KillerCops behind bars?! MinneapolisPoliceMurderdHim
Aw yes, History repeating itself. The burning of building, looting, mayhem. The good old days have returned. A bit disgusting as people die from the coronavirus. “Two wrongs do not make a right.”
Northerners!!! 🤷🏼♂️😬
Just foolish way to go about it ..Rob from the workers and business. That's not how you don't do it ... Your as bad as the perpetrators .
why TF did you have to specify that he was black you could have said a fellow Americans or male you don't have to bring race into everything
yamphoto HisNameWasGeorgeFloyd and he did not 'dIe iN pOlIcE cUsToDy', he was executed before a crowd whose members did not wake up that day thinking 'I'm gonna see four cops slowly murder a man for fun'.
DemGovs & mayors: Killing of GeorgeFloyd by overbearing police (long accused of racism) occurred after months of authoritarian lockdown w/soaring unemployment. Frustration & rage building in addition to racial tension. Add Antifa & BLM, the perfect storm for violence.
You cleaned that up neatly. TWO people are dead *because* one of them was murdered by white supremacists with badges who are walking freely, *because* they are white. If the colors were flipped?Entirely different outcome. WeDidntStartTheFire
I stand with the Minneapolis Protesters just as American government and White Americans stand with Hong Kong protesters even as they burned down places and attacked cops. Stop killing us and stop terrorizing us, and stop your racism, and we will be good.
Crazy people. You know you never see this reaction in the Hispanic community nor the white, God forbid. What is wrong with them
They coordinated peak with reopening in a desperate attempt to gain herd immunity before November when the science of statistics through voting by mail proves they have been cheating with the voting machines Republicans insisted on when the Bush brothers stole it from Gore.
Hmmm, let me see is the officer that murdered George, charged with anything at all ? Nope. Anyone else would would be in jail for sure but cops can kill anyone they want.Until the cops are charged, you get what you get.
Black man's murder...
SpeakerPelosi : Beautiful sight.
Massive fire in Minneapolis!
Well things really are returning to normal. It’s hunting season against blacks for the police again. Hallelujah.
The colour of your skin still determines your human rights in 21 century. Look at West Papua being slowly extinguished as we speak by Indonesian military covered up by the Australian government
They should be burning down the police station and city hall. Make a statement.
Americans across the country need to rise up now. No real wages rises for 50 years. No health insurance. Millions homeless. It will only get worse.
Funny how none of those pu$$y a$$ military cosplay MAGA people with their big guns from a few weeks ago in Minnesota aren't doing anything now to protect Minneapolis from looting and property damage. Probably because they were fake a$$ b1tche$.
Unfortunately violence works more then a peaceful protest these people are raging angry they need to let off steam
It is time to use the guns we all bought at the beginning of quarantine. No justice no peace. icantbreathe GeorgeFloyd JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
He was murdered in handcuffs.
The Messenger Muhammad said (All of you are Adam and Adam from dust). With these words, you can protest against racists
nakesha_horsey I understand the anger and frustration. What I don't understand is the deliberate destruction of their own neighborhood. This action will garner the wrong type of attention and people will die!
I'm confused. Are there any white folks alongside black folks in this 'protest'? Is that how a racist country responds? Asking for an Aunt twice removed.
Riots like these only occur when severe avoidable injustices occur like systemic racism leading to murder being put on display. This could’ve been avoided too if the FBI would’ve charged Derek Chauvin swiftly with murder. The city deserves this until he’s charged. They hired him.
I think you mean rioters because once they start vandalizing it becomes a riot facts matter
Yeah go & burn down your neighborhoods that'll show whitey.
Maybe the person writing AP's tweets should take take a summary skills class. 'after George Floyd, handcuffed and face down in the street, was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer who knelt on Floyd's neck for nine minutes until he stopped breathing'
Fraudulent propaganda with 'violence that included looting and setting fires'. Trying to justify the killing of peaceful protesters by the racist American police.
stealingjordansforGeorge fakeoutrage reasonstoloot
Call it like it really is. Violent rioting.
Not all “violence” is equal. The racist murder of George Floyd at the hands of police is the violence we should be concerned about, not the cries of communities demanding justice.
There goes the neighborhood!
I’m so fed up that I don’t care if America is burned to the ground.
I don’t see a lot of social distancing here.
I agree police direct shooting these Arsonists.democracy country need legal.
All this wouldn't be an issue if the idiot's didn't break the law or resist police officers orders...The criminals only bring it on themselves by their actions!.....
strengthen the stereotypical belief of most people against black community.
That pic tuff tho
There should be a plan in place by now? This hasn't stoped -cops - black men -death ! Where is the book on what to do? By now blame for the out rage needs to land at MAYORS, GOV'S, STATE REP'S !
It’s happening right now & it’s miles & miles wide. The anger is at 💯
Do these 'rallies' comply with the 50 person group limit rule?
'Death in police custody' is beyond feeble, but you make sure to mention looting. Stop licking jackboots.
“A riot is the language of the unheard.”
I support the protests just not the destruction 😔
After police murdered a man. Period.
Alexandratweets Yeah burning your town down and especially wrecking fire trucks is really the answer... wow
We need justice for George Floyd...
Trying to solve violence with more violence, and so the cycle continues. This rioting is part of the problem, not the solution.
How long can diplomacy last for when people are killed by corrupt police forces who are meant to uphold the law but decades in and decades out, there still is no change. The colour of a man's skin should not be the underlying factor as to whether they live or die.
Looters and rioters are pathetic. Violence perpetuates violence. Dr. King preached this.
Sad. Just. Put. Those. Cops. In. Jail. And. It. Want. Be. Eny. More. V. In. Those. Streets. For. Murder They. Need. Death. Chair.
Anyone saying this shit is justified, ask George Floyd's family if they feel comforted. Protest. Yes, absolutely. Protest. People are looting, rioting for themselves.
Like Christmas to thug neighborhoods.
It’s not just protests anymore AP! They are rioting. Looting, destroying property and setting fires is rioting. Can you just be honest and call it what it is for the love of God.
The looters and arsonists were looking forward to this and had a great night.
Looting and rioting accomplishes nothing. Every time, we go through this. Needless violence lends wrongful credence to the idea that everyone deserves blame. That both sides are in some way responsible. So nothing changes. Then the cycle repeats. Every. Time.
When it was peaceful, nobody listened. Listen now. Forget a Target & QUIK TRIP. Black folks support their stores and they don’t speak out against these killings. Stealing, looting whatever you wanna call it, is peaceful 🖕🏾
Protests? RIOTS. Mindless, reckless, and futile violence.
Sublime - April 29, 1992 via YouTube
There is no such thing as a violent protest
Say it right ya jerks:
STILL, WITH ALL UNDERSTANDING OF THE MEAN'S DEATH IT SHOULDN'T GIVE ANY EXCUSE TO BEHAVE LIKE THAT - IT'S NOT NORMAL!!!!!!!!!! THIS ISN'T AMERICA NO MORE - TOO MUCH FREEDOM BRING/CAUSES ANARCHY
Explained for the Karen's: Remember that movie Red Dawn? They are the Wolverines blowing shit up to get rid of the occupying force that is killing their family's..
Homicide? Thought a pawnshop owner shot a rioter/looter trying to ransack their shop
This is just unacceptable. Looting and pillaging is never acceptable, no matter what's happened. These aren't protestors. These are people taking advantage of the grief to excuse their crimes.
Posing in front of a burning store that contains car batteries and dangerous chemicals.
Whoever in the hell organized that 🎪 circus I mean protest needs to be question.😒
Covid got boring
Terrorists
'Protests' you frauds. Riots.
The cops MURDERED, they indicted the violence
Would it be just to take the riot to the gated homes of the wealthy?
he was murdered
Who is better for blacks ?
Guranteed half these ppl have no idea why they are breaking shit primitive
Black people are tired of capital being more important than their lives.
It’s not a protest it’s a riot.
Arrest the officer
Setting an apartment full of innocent people on fire, looting every shop surrounding the PD then setting them on fire too isn’t called a protest. That’s a riot.
I saw that the Flat Screens, liquor and shoes were pretty popular again this time around...
They robbed George Floyd of the better life he moved to Minneapolis for. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter
Be prepared for more nights. Pack a lunch.
Nothing says 'protest' like mass looting of consumer goods
There are actually two things going on. Protesting and Looting. The looters are shitting on the memory of the man, the protestors are justifiably protesting the murder of a man by police. The only homicide I know of tonight is a pawn shop owner defending his property.
