Minneapolis was looted and burned to the ground because black criminal George Floyd died of a drug overdose. The city has had a little time to rebuild which is lucky because they are looting again due to a black guy shooting himself in the head. The theme here is that Black Lives Matter will destroy a city because black lives don’t matter to some of the people who have them.
The Star Tribune reports:
The city of Minneapolis imposed a curfew and asked the National Guard to return to its streets after renewed rioting and looting Wednesday night.
The unrest was sparked by untrue rumors that a man wanted for a fatal shooting who killed himself as police closed in had actually been shot by officers.
The man who died, who was Black and has not been identified, was wanted for the slaying of another man earlier that day in a downtown Minneapolis parking garage. He was on foot at 8th Street and Nicollet Mall at 6 p.m. When police pulled up, the suspect ducked into a doorway and shot himself in the head while onlookers scrambled away.
The event was captured on city surveillance video, which police released within 90 minutes. The video confirms the police account of what happened and shows the man glancing over his shoulder before pulling out the gun and firing, then collapsing to the ground as a half-dozen witnesses ran away with their hands in the air. The officers, one of whom had his gun drawn, ordered a remaining witness away and kicked the suspect’s gun away before trying to revive him with chest compressions.
Here’s the video of this murderer killing himself:

And here’s some video of police trying to revive this murderer while black people accuse the cops of killing this piece of shit:

And then all hell broke loose:
Police almost immediately shared surveillance video of the suicide, but it did little to calm crowds who broke windows at retail stores, restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
Immediately after the suicide, a hostile crowd swiftly grew into the hundreds as police tried to cordon off the area and form a perimeter. As darkness fell, most of the crowd was peaceful, but some broke out the windows of Nordstrom Rack, while others tried to enter Target as the security gates closed.

More looting in downtown Minneapolis. They’ve now breached the Saks 5th Avenue store on 6th and Nicollet and people are making out with lots of goods. pic.twitter.com/tgUIyoIMvf

And for some reason Target stores always get blamed for black people killing themselves in Minneapolis:

I would imagine Target is rethinking its presence in Minneapolis, but for some reason I think the company is actually headquartered there.
Somehow as a country we need to address the racism of black men overdosing on drugs and shooting themselves in the head. Maybe if we paint some more “Black Lives Matter” murals on streets it will stop this bigotry. If that don’t do it, I understand the NBA is considering cancelling its playoffs like anyone gives a shit.
