For the third night in a row, protests and riots rocked Minneapolis in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer. Stores were once again looted and buildings set on fire as protesters demanded justice for Floyd’s death. The Fifth Precinct police building is currently burning and authorities are warning of a possible gas leak in the area.
Floyd, who was suspected of forgery, died after a police officer inexplicably pinned him to the ground with his knee, holding him down as he begged for mercy. The officer remained in that position until Floyd, who was unarmed and subdued with handcuffs at the time, became lifeless. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Four police officers were summarily fired after video of the horrific, indefensible act was made public.
Julio Rosas, from PJ Media’s sister site Townhall, is on the scene in Minneapolis. His tweets show the violence escalating throughout the night and a very dangerous situation developing.

Rioters have formed a makeshift barricade so that they can have cover as they continue to throw objects at police. Police continue to respond with tear gas and flashbangs. pic.twitter.com/xng1oPvGpy

Governor Tim Walz has ordered 500 National Guard troops to the area and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has declared a state of emergency in the city. City officials warned that a gas line may have been cut at the third precinct, which could turn the city into a powder keg as rioters set off fireworks in the area and thousands of protesters congregate around the burning police station.
We’re hearing unconfirmed reports that gas lines to the Third Precinct have been cut and other explosive materials are in the building.
If you are near the building, for your safety, PLEASE RETREAT in the event the building explodes.

Police have abandoned the area, leaving their building to burn as protesters celebrate its destruction.
Update 1:36 a.m.: President Trump has weighed in on the riots:
….These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

In addition to Minneapolis, there are ongoing protests in St. Paul, Minn., Memphis, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Denver, Colo., Columbus, Ohio, and Los Angeles California.
Update 2:21 a.m.: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told reporters that “the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, our officers, or the public. We could not risk serious injury to anyone and we will continue to patrol the third precinct entirely. We will continue to do our jobs in that area. Brick and mortar is not as important as life.”
Asked what the plan was, Frey said, “There is a lot of pain and anger right now in our city I understand that. Our entire city recognizes that. What we have seen over the past several hours and past couple of nights in terms of looting is unacceptable. Our communities cannot and will not tolerate it. These are businesses, these are community institutions that we need. These are banks that people rely on to get cash. Grocery stores that people rely on to get food. These are pharmacies that people rely on to get medicine. They are essential to our community. We need to make sure that they are protected, and so we are working with our officers right now.”
“We are doing absolutely everything we can to keep the peace,” he added, saying the decision to abandon the third precinct “comes down to public safety.”
This is a developing story.

Why not adopt the ideas from Warren Comm from 1992 LA CA riots & apply nationwide.
Study shows riot roots etc that fed riot, apply here.
Blame bad cops & say bad cops= felons., No change.
Make=.
Comm held by ex Clinton Secty State pre Hillary.
We can end this.
Or Not
Why doesn’t the State Attorney arrest the Murderer that killed Floyd in broad daylight in front if the whole world ? Instead of helping the innocent during these riots, the police are guarding the Murderer’s house by the hundreds. That thug knew he was being filmed killing Floyd, this reeks of a False Flag to start civil unrest.
Hopefully, this dark cloud may have a silver lining.
I believe this is 0mar’s district. To borrow a phrase used by the rioters of te 1960s, “Burn Baby, Burn”.
If they don’t live there, they cannot vote there. Settle them in other districts held by other representatives
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey…“the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, our officers, or the public. We could not risk serious injury to anyone and we will continue to patrol the third precinct entirely. We will continue to do our jobs in that area. What a cop-out (no pun intended). They abandoned ALL those they are to protect and serve. MOB rule is the new norm for Minneapolis and they have shown without doubt, they Will Not Do their job when confronted…and the MOB knows it. Shameful and disgraceful actions. The people of Minneapolis should replace the whole bunch of them with folks willing to stand and subdue those who act with no respect for law, for other innocent citizens. Those people had nothing to do with what went down from the police officer. So, stop the nonsense now and get control.
biggest load of shit i ever read this next comment “We Can Win or We Can Be Right

If black cops were publicly executing white kids, white people wouldn’t protest peacefully.
cops kill twice as many whites every year than negros ….i even know a white guy they executed in public on the street and no one even cleared their throat ….
you got 9000 africans in america killed by other africans in america with firearms and no one even makes a peep about that …..blacks are totally racist ….you almost expect problems with them on a daily basis …god knows ive seen it …but then they are the biggest hippocrates in the world and turn their own neighborhoods into fear and violence strangleholds …slavery of fear and intimidation of their own people …when lincoln repatriated 3500 africans freed slaves back to liberia and freetown africa the forst thing they did was to go into the slavery business enslaving and selling slaves to other blacks ….by the time the civil war broke out and over 150,000 freed slaves fought for the confederacy there were 400,000 freed slaves in the north and the same number in the south ….the north had just as many slaves and slave owners as the south ….the unique situation was that by thet time half the slave owners were freed black men who themselves aquired slaves for uses …ony 2% of colonialists ever owned slaves …99.99% of the whites alive today in america were never related to anyone in the slave ownership trade …my family came from ireland ..we were slaves …in 1500 ad the brits came in to ireland and executed 500,000 irish and took 250,000 as slaves …..white slaves were used in the east and west indoes for sugar plantations …whites never survived their slavery for more than a year in these locations …www.irishholocaust.com also see “the massgravesofireland “….
in 1670 the governor of virginia had 6000 white slaves and 2000 black slaves so as to probably corner the market on farming and construction projects …
blacks in africa have owned and traded slaves or stolen tribes members for uses since the dawn of time and even today with the recent banning of slavery in mauritania there are still 14% of the african pop in slavery to other blacks …apartheid was all they could come up with to usurp the secure benvolent soverign boer sout african civilization and in the same time fram existed ex kgb communist agitators in africa to distract the world that black communist activists wwere terrorizing aqfrica and murdering anyone in their way …apartheid was another smoke screen like accusing the usa of being isolationist as a way of prodding the american public into some fvorm of shame or something …..people who dint live in south africa had n way or right to judge what happened there …shaka zulu lilled 3 million africans …africans kill africans durung voting times the opposite political partys go out and assassinate each other …there are 700 refugee camps for whites as they are not allowed to emmigrate out of africa instead they live in camps with no social benefits and are easily and frequently murdered by roving black maniacs ..
the white farmers are killed with impunity all the time …entitled black terrorists seize the land from good white people who worked the land and made something of it …..blacks from all areas gravitated to south africa over the good years for jobs food and security …now if a african travels t south af for work he stands a good chance of being hacked to pieces or chased out ….
after white soverign rule was removed from africa then the famines came and the civil wars and the greedy land exploitation by the likes of the gertlers and chinese outfits …they dig billions of dollars raw materials out of the earth every year and not to mention oil as well …..none of these natural resources are given back to the indigenous africans ….when boers ruled south africa englands tried to wipe them out in 1900 in a bloody war of attrition and genocide against the boer ..the brits took their women and children and locked them away in death camps to force the boers to lay down their arms …..be that as it may this is a modern day example of what will happen to us if we lay down our arms ,,,,the boer was slated for complete extermination by english rule ..we saw how england treated us in the colonial times and now the same mentsality of global cabal control seeks firearms from law abiding people while the psycos and terrorists in america get to keep theirs ..sounds like katrina where the law came and took lawful gun owners firearms from them and then the looting and home invasions began ,,,,,
in 1965 in watts the looters and arsonists and murderers were properly shot on site by nat guard …its a proper
punishement for looters …and they are only just beginning to threaten to arrest them if they dont leave the area …..they should all be being arrested for vandalism arson burglary tresspassing looting …
no one was ever arrested in baltimore for all the millions in damage and the black assholes were given the green lite to go beserk by the idiot mayor of baltlimore …who in turn wanted to turn around and blame the white governor ….anyway what was he doing the whole time ……chaos and marxism is acutely and chronically at work in america every day ….p[eople like the scum bernie sanders a wealthy card carrying communist who wants to be your dictator ….he even said he wanted to turn the usa into a model of venezuela under maduro narco communist terrorist president …..the seasonal flu was given a new name and mission parameter and it shut down the whole world ..thats scarier than the flu ….people die from man made and relaesed flu every year …..we should be activelty seeking the perpetrators of this flu wave this year and for all back years as well …who made the virus ..who released it …how did they spread it …..
this new covid is patented and on site at usamriid biolevel 4 lab ft.dietrick md ..all 5 haplogroups are there ….when you hear of pandemics going off i africa or other places they are just releasing the new toy critter on mankind and monitoring it ….the elite deep state has enjoyed their supremecy on this wave ….
