Minneapolis police station surrounded, officers under attack as riots explode

[baseline bum]

"They have broken the gas lines, and have oxygen tanks, they are going to try and blow up the building"
yikes.

Not sure if that dude was telling the truth or knew waht the he was talking about, but it would not surprise me.

Are they talking about the police station?

[baseline bum]

the police in actuality.

I'm advocating for the businesses around it. It's not just the police station that is in ruins now.

Too bad they can't sue the police for causing this .

It's kind of funny to expect people to obey the law when there is indisputable proof of a torture and execution by Derek Chauvin and he has only been fired for it. If that was George Floyd doing that to Derek Chauvin with video proof he'd be in cuffs or the morgue within the hour of it happening. I'm not saying I'd be rioting, it's wrong, but I don't have any ing sympathy for that police department and their poor burning station. You tell people there is no law and that's the kind of response you're going to get.

Agreed, he should be arrested for murder
Dont agree with the whole role reversal complaint and that it somehow justifies other innocent people becoming victims. You can’t declare everyone in that department guilty.

Democrats need riots. Minnesota and other states are too close to going red. They don't win on results because they're too busy ing over the poor and the middle class.

You think? Bernie and Rubio won the primaries there in '16. Shillary carried it by 1.5% margin. And that's with the map looking like this:

It's understandable but it's counterproductive.

agree mostly.

We simply need to get better police training, and de-escalation training, and end a culture of impunity. If 1000 cops don't turn in 10 bad ones... you get 1010 bad cops.

I'm having a hard time buying this he was just a bad seed garbage we always hear when something like this happens when there were three other cops watching Derek Chauvin torture and murder George Floyd.

exactly

They just showed a new video of the "arrest" on MSNBC of Floyd where you actually had 3 other ing cops on top of him. Jesus Christ

How unfortunate.

These people are mass murderers based on my reliable information from the media.

[Nathan89]

Make it happen.

Police aren't covid heroes for skipping town? Life savers.

Yeah I’m not even sure I wouldn’t even be rioting if I were in their shoes. What should they do at this point? The police brutality gets more brazen and over the top and nothing gets done. If you’re a nearby business you should be just as mad at Derek Chauvin as you are for the riots.

Quite frankly rather than loot businesses these rioters should just find where Chauvin lives and Molotov tail his house.

true, other cops that were there are at fault, but you still can’t just decide that everyone in that department deserves What they’re getting. I agree that people should be angry and out for justice, but you cant justify that. It’s no better tbh

[RandomGuy]

Still looking for the outrage about these maga s not social distancing.

Still looking for the outrage about police killing black men over misdemeanors.

His house is surrounded. or was. Probably evacced him by now.

Yeah show those business owners who had nothing to do with it who's boss by burning their business to the ground. That will show em.

I thought the founding fathers participating in slavery is the cause

What should they do? Write their congressman a letter? When cops are allowed to murder people in cold blood responding with violence seems appropriate. It’s a ing joke that the cop hasn’t been arrested yet.

Quick get on Facebook and tell those rioters how they are endangering others from covid. Or have you gotten past that?

Can't believe this happened on Monday, it's ing Thursday, and Derek Chauvin still hasn't been booked for the most obvious murder you could ever see. And the bad apple defense? Bull , four cops thought it was fine. Cops want to be a gang well now they're getting treated like one.
