Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

Been listening to St Paul police/fire and public works this morning. Those guys are just trying to stay on top of whats happening, several locations around area are gathering places for people to act up/out.

It would appear that from comments and statements made by officers and supervisors(through dispatch) that they believe many are from out of town only there to use legit protest as cover to agitate.

Oh yeah, lets go loot the T Mobile store.

Hey look, those guys are looting T Mobile, we gotta get ours, let's loot the ATT across the street.

Trying to get teams set up to deal with ruckus this afternoon. They are expecting lots of trouble.

20 man strike teams.

Already have locations with 250-300 "people" gathered/staged.

The whole looting and rioting is disgraceful and despicable. With that said that cop murdered that guy while his 3 buddys watched and didn't step in. Once he was unconscious he is no longer a threat.

I've got problems with this all around. Mob rule fueled by a complicit media desperate for revenue being part of it. Missing the first 10 or 20 minutes of that video, and only having one video is right out of the media playbook too. It sure looks damning as it is though.

I think I'll just hold my outrage for a few more days and see what else shakes out. I don't want to pull a Disney and suggest any teens wearing MAGA hats should be murdered with a woodchipper just yet...
It would have been funnier if strikethrough was a font choice so I could have done a strikethrough on "teens wearing MAGA hats" and written "police" after it. Oh well, some humor works and some doesn't

While there is plenty of time where the encounter was not filmed, there really is no excuse to continue to kneel on someone for 3 minutes after they have completely stopped moving.

Nothing says "We are protesting police brutality!" like looting a Target and setting an AutoZone on fire

No excuse for looting or the officer continuing to keep a knee in his neck after he's subdued.

People have been cooped up for months, cops empowered to arrest citizens with a heavy hand for not following arbitrary rules made up by state executives, criminals released from jails 'cuz the 'Rona, our governments have created a powder keg.

Open your family store get arrested. You can loot a family store with impunity. I'm not sure how looting a liquor store helps solve the problem, but the government has declared alcohol and weed as "essential", so there you go.

We're a long way from coming out of this mess.

Exactly like that. Thanks.
