hearing rumblings that the protestors have taken over the 5th precinct
All the cops probably pulled out since the national guard is heading in now.

Funny how probably 4-5 users engaged me in the same way, essentially boiling down to ignore that trump loving alternate account troll!

Yet not one user has even begun to respond to my thoughts about how this is emotionally devastating to children or elderly in the area, to anyone who already has mental health issues, much less the innocent businesses destroyed and looted

Still waiting

EDIT: One user did respond, that user who is from the area of the protests and confirmed my posts.

You know what's emotionally and mentally devastating to children, knowing their lives can end because of the color of their skin. Knowing their murderers will be placed on paid leave. Knowing that people like you will lick the boots of their murderers because you can't handle the bitter truth that the world needs change.

As for Covid, I've been through the wave, I must have the antibodies...it's a long story.

Are you telling me they had guns trained on you? And if on the grown from the top down.
Fuck man.

Stay safe.

I'm not certain if it was guns or less than lethal. It was definitely a couple of red dots pointed at the ground in front of me.

I can say that when I was there earlier there were national guard looking (don't know for a fact, looked more armyish than cop) people hanging out behind the line of riot cops. They looked like they had rifles. The riot cops had like these baton looking things and some of them had like some sort of bean bag gun or other less than lethal weapon.

When I looked across the field from the back end of the park I was very far away from the crowd of police. Like 300+ feet easily. Makes me think it could have been a rifle, because I don't think less than lethal stuff has a ton of range.

Hard to see something that far away and be too certain of what is going on. I just saw enough to say nope. I'm here to observe and report. I very much support the protest, but I'm not willing to put myself too much in harm's way.

Hard to imagine the National Guard murdering dozens of people and that not resulting in more riots.

I don't know how to say this exactly, but it looks like the best thing is to just let the city burn. This relationship between the police and the public is just so completely broken. The powers that be have broken their end of the deal way too many times and expectations of civility from many in the public is just unrealistic now.

You can't just keep having citizens killed by police in questionable circumstances without any sort of punishment for the murderer.

Im sure plenty others wont be able to either, probably scared shitless in their apartments/homes, sticking together with family all horrified out of their minds.

Of course, only some of us seem to think of people like you and them, the rest get off on watching your city burn. I can imagine thats tough to read on here..Im sorry that you have to read that bullshit.

Alright, I'll bite with a non-hostile approach. You want peace - I get that. But a legitimate point has been brought up that peace for a few decades has done nothing. The sad truth is that action like this, unfortunately, actually affects the way things are done, and that's why people in here are supporting that.

Thats what Im trying to figure out. But this isnt only happening in Minneapolis right now. Protests in Denver have turned violent, and I believe same with LA and NYC.

Theres supposed to be a huge Black Lives Matter tomorrow in my city(Houston, Texas). I dont see looting being a good idea here, considering open carry is a thing in Texas. I live close to downtown too, and like 2 miles from where theyre meeting up tomorrow.

I read every word...That's..That's fucking crazy.
Basically they do, which is not a surprise have some sharp shooters going on. '
They were shooting nonlethal shots at the stop signs near the 3rd precinct to turn people away.
This night, we know what has happened.
