Does not give people the right for civil disobedience, part of the blame is this damn virus. People are cooped up, no money coming in and they need to vent. Any time people are unhappy with law enforcement they think it's time to loot and set fires.

I believe the situation in Minneapolis, is about more than a single cop, It's not all about BLM either. If only 1% of the cops are abusive what are the odds that 4 of them would be at the same scene and allow the murder to unfold. Minneapolis has a long running record of not proscecuting Bad cops, Their premier politicians, Amy Kobuchar rose to national prominence on a reputation of being tough on crime, but soft on cops. We need to be honest here. The city is rotten to the core. While there is no excuse for the destruction of private property, and for the riots in the other cities. I do believe that the attacks on the police and their building is justified. We are given our 1st and 2nd amendment rights as a defense against an oppressive government.

But ceding a police station is going to set the wrong precedent in my opinion. I don't wish for more confrontation but you do have to set some boundaries to civil discourse especially when the government largely is agreeing with your point already. Unfortunately, it is likely the people taking advantage of the situation and not actually those who are really there to protest. Hard to separate the 2 out though to take care of the problem. Maybe time for some water hoses to help disperse, I suspect they might be running low on flash bangs, etc at this point from the videos I've been seeing. Seems some fire hoses or the water cannons would be safer at this point.

I am glad to see they went after the source of the problem. The thugs were in the wrong when they destroyed property of the people that had nothing to do with the murder. Burning cars and housing, looting of cars is just wrong. Minneapolis Police have ongoing issues and too eager kill civilians. This isn't about race, they seem to be indiscriminate. The folks have found their Bastille. and need to focus on their real enemy. They need to stop burning housing retailers and automobiles. They need to focus on do-nothing district attorneys such as Amy Kobuchar and the current DA. I do have a feeling though that same people burning the cars are the same ones that voted for the do-nothing DAs. Has anyone heard from Amy?

Something is wrong in Minnesota, Philando Castile, Justine Damond and Ahmaud Aubrey. I don't think it's racism, just a willingness to kill.

I understood it when they attacked the police station, but Target didn't do anything wrong.
