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 am amazed such a thing would be organized in a deep south area such as Houston. But I'd love to see Houston change for the better. It's my second home, afterall. Good luck with that.

Is there a live stream or any scanner audio? Where are you all getting the updates?

I tried that unicorn riot thing but it said it was down.

He's not the best, but you'll get scanner audio and switching between a bunch of different streams of different protests.

Smoke N Scan in YouTube has police scanners and footage from above usually. Hes great. Think hes a former cop because he knows all the distress codes too

I doubt the National Guard can be sent everywhere. This stuff is spreading like covid which will also spread through these riots. I've been extremely eager for massive police reform for as long as I can remember. The idea that this could benefit that rather excites me. It's just that this is all such a horrible trainwreck at the same time. It is such an ugly course of action that I can ultimately say I am very understanding of. It just seems like truly nothing else has worked or could work in the near future or possibly even far out future. Riots are such a complicated tool to enact societal change. Just so extremely volatile.

I dont see Houston as the Deep South, but thats just me. Its one of the most diverse cities in the world actually. I thinks BLM protest here would remain fairly calm compared to what were seeing tonight, though.

National Guard, police, etc are already stretched thin helping with covid, probably why the governor hasn't bothered to do dick about this situation.

But the riots have no clear leadership. They will inevitably fizzle.

There is a bar in Minneapolis called Palmer's bar that is predominantly frequented by black people and is own and ran by black people. They boarded up their bar and wrote in spray paint "black owned and run business" to hopefully be spared the riot. I really hope they stay away from that place.

I haven't seen if any other businesses have been imposing similar tactics.

So about that Trump tweet

https://twitter.com/toddzwillich/status/1266237702208282624

When the looting starts, the shooting starts, is a threat coined by Miami Police Chief Walter Headley, who promised violent reprisals on black protesters in 1967. He also said: We dont mind being accused of police brutality. They havent seen anything yet.

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.

None of this would have happened if the pig was arrested on the spot.

If any regular citizen murdered someone on camera they would be cuffed and jailed, no questions asked.

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.

This.

No justice, no peace.

Burn that shit.

It's honestly been disgusting on both sides.

Shitty cops should be massively reprehended for their actions, and constantly causing excessive harm to, what mostly ends up being civilians, again and again is inexcusable.

At the same time, destroying an entire city over it won't solve any problems. Like over 170 buildings and establishments are in ruins now, and obviously things aren't going to get better because of this. It'll just lead into more violence on both sides and solve absolutely nothing except ruin even more innocent lives.

I'd like to say I'm glad this isn't my town, but one shitty officer and a mob of literal thugs using something like BLM as an excuse to terrorize buildings and people could completely change that.

Indeed. We are imploding from within. Does charging the perpetrators even enough at this point? Even when he's sentenced, he's still going to have that smug on his face, saying you can't touch me.
