I made it home. Struggling to get these videos off my phone at the moment, but I'll post what I can. They're all very short since I was driving though.

It's not. I live in St Paul, just on the border between the two cities, so I'll drive in to Minneapolis each day for work.

Here's another. I don't intend these to all be negative, I got at least a few of the community coming together to help each other with the damage as well. There's a lot of people out with shovels, and helping to put up boards on the broken windows and such. We'll get to those soon.

I think we'll be okay, but the damage extends much further than it did the day before and it's much more severe. I think they were just trying to play it safe since there's a lot of activity out there. I have a few more videos here, these three were all at the tail end of it though, where I got really close to the actual protests outside the police station. I'll post more from earlier in my drive as I get them uploaded. Imgur seems to have stopped working for me, so I'll just try to post dropbox links here in a bit.

Why should he feel how others feel? The blame should be on the officer and those that contribute not innocent people.
both are minimizing a disgusting traumatic event.

I'm a woman, but I really only made this topic to document what's going on. I didn't state any of my personal opinions, but I do think this thing has spiraled way out of control at this point. The protests are fair and totally valid; people have every right to be upset over such clear injustice, but this kind of wanton violence against the entire community, including fellow minorities, isn't helping anyone. Most of these small business owners will be gone for good. Covid has already hit them hard, but this will destroy them outright. It's become a bad situation all around.

This board is 98% left-wing users. Stop trying to start arguments in every topic. This topic is just one person close to the situation documenting her experiences. She hasn't expressed any opinions on what is going on or how she feels about.

TC, thank you for sharing these videos.

CE gonna CE. Only takes a few posts for them to pull the camera back so far, you're just a speck again. Of course they were gonna quickly toss you to the side to make it political lol.

Anyway, sucks this happened to you. But it sounds like you got the right attitude to get you through. Taking care of yourself first instead of trying to place blame first

I'm at my apartment now, which so far seems safe. I know a lot of my friends are actually out at some of the protests right now, but I just don't want to get caught up in anything; I tend to avoid conflict/violence whenever possible.

I was actually looking to move to Minneapolis at the end of next month, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that if this is still going on (and I assume it will to some degree, at least on Lake Street) Tensions are already red hot from everyone being cooped up for months, with many left without any source of income. I don't think this would have escalated as quickly as it did, and in so short a time, if it weren't for that fact.

Against my better judgement, I think I'm gonna take a walk, and head back in at any sign of trouble. From what I'm seeing people post it sounds like some of the looting is within a couple miles though :/
