Political Discussion


Trump is that this is Antifa rioting. A radical extremist left group. And republicans like my father are totally buying into it saying the White Supremacist news is "CNN" and false.

White Supremacist groups are here. There are strategies being employed by both anarchist and supremacist groups. Last night on the police scanner there were several reports of cars driving around without plates and when pulled over they would be abandoned, the occupants would run, and they would leave various instruments. Report of a mercedes hauling bricks. White Supremacists following people, circling apartment complexes of POC. I've been unable to verify reports of them murdering 3 elderly women.

All of the major highways in and out of the cities were shut down at 7 pm yesterday. The NG and police locked down bridges between the Minneapolis and St. Paul. They were much more aggressive with press and with medical workers / volunteers last night.

Other random acts of crimes being committed as some people take advantage of the situation.

What is clear, regardless of what group they may belong to that much of the destruction and violence has been caused by white people, and the most severe damage has been in the areas where POC live, work, and shop.

The state public safety director, John Harrington, has intentionally mispronounced George Floyd's name the past 2 days during press conferences (calling him Mr. Lloyd at least 5 times).

NG helicopter was circling all night, there were a few clashes with protestors, tear gas and rubber bullets deployed, but things were more quiet overall...we'll see what today brings
 
The Today Show asked the Minneapolis sheriff about such incidents this morning.

They stand by with what they did. They said a curfew was in place. This extends to everyone including press. The curfew was ignored, and loudspeaker announcements to disperse were also ignored. So they shot rubber bullets to make them dispers. They don't care if you are press or protesters, they don't want you out after curfew.
