Thread: Just spoke to Minnesota's top Republican, Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka. He phoned White House tonight to ask for assistance in Minneapolis.“I said, ‘Minnesota needs you. Our governor is not able to keep the peace. And we need help before our city burns down.’”— Ryan Faircloth (@RyanFaircloth) May 30, 2020

i was outside the 5th precinct just before the phalanx of natl guard arrived. it was completely laid back and relaxed and peaceful. any escalation is on the police
and paul gazelka begging trump for help can't mean anything good

This is ghastly. It looks like it'll go further, they've ID'd the officer.
Update: Got her permission with a fuck yeah. The cop pushed her so hard at Barclays & she flung back. She is tiny. Now she’s in the ER after a serious seizure.

Comparing this week’s events to the actions he has undertaken in relation to the COVID-19 epidemic, Walz said, “A compact that we go by in civilized society is that you have to have social buy-in,” which rioters do not acknowledge, he said. He said law enforcement has had to focus on protecting large institutions such as the Federal Reserve and power plants,

I am truly heartbroken today.
There's so many reports and of white men setting blazes, white supremacists. Even people who say they are usually suspect of those outside agitators stories.
If they don't stop it tonight what is going to happen?

Sorry to hear about this and the other things you mentioned. We didn't hear many sirens last night (compared to the previous two nights when it was non-stop) so we hoped it was a quieter night. Which Walgreens was that? Hope your friend and family are doing ok.

The Minneapolis Police Department's record of racism and police brutality has a long history. In 1945, Minneapolis mayor Hubert Humphrey tried to reform the MPD through "education."

Oh right, I know that one well. Seems like a lot has been going on, on Lake Street. Obviously I don't want any of the businesses to be affected (really sad about Ghandi Mahal), but I do feel extra protective over the record stores just because I know some of these guys pretty well now and we all try to look out for each other. I'm worried about Hymies which isn't far away from that Walgreens for a start. Adam just took over that place last year and already had a break-in not long after. Really nice guy who was made up about getting his dream job when he bought it. My fingers are crossed for him.

Mayor Carter said EVERY person arrested last night during the protests was from out of state. The governor said it is at least 80 percent, and that they will begin releasing the names.
