Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

Violence will only beget more violence. There’s not enough Guard (or anyone else in authority) to stop this if it keeps growing organically. then there’s the probability of vigilante response… The problem needs to be solved where it started. It doesn’t make it right, but we have to remember that this wouldn’t be happening right now if not for the very well-documented and disturbing death of George Floyd.

They will really have to ramp it up to get to match when DC was on fire. And it was on fire. I watched it....

On Friday, April 5, President Johnson dispatched 11,850 federal troops and 1,750 D.C. Army National Guardsmen to assist the overwhelmed D.C. police force.[SUP][15][/SUP] Marines mounted machine guns on the steps of the Capitol and Army soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Regiment guarded the White House. The 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina and 6th Cavalry Regiment from Fort Meade, Maryland were among the principal federal forces sent to the city. At one point, on April 5, rioting reached within two blocks of the White House before rioters retreated. The occupation of Washington was the largest of any American city since the Civil War.
Federal troops and National Guardsmen imposed a strict curfew, worked riot control, patrolled the streets, guarded looted stores, and provided aid to those who were displaced by the rioting. They continued to remain after the rioting had officially ceased to protect against a second riot and further damage

The property loss caused by the riots was extensive and included damage to 1,199 buildings, including 283 residential and 1,590 commercial units. Losses to at least partially insured properties in the concentrated area of looting and destruction were estimated at $25 million. Insurance covered only 29% of the total loss suffered by these businesses. As a result of the riot damage, an estimated 2,900 insurance policies were cancelled and 500 businesses suffered inflated insurance rates. The Board of Trade estimated a loss of $40 million in tourist trade during April and May including those due to the cancellation of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The riots devastated Washington's inner city economy. With the destruction or closing of businesses, thousands of jobs were lost, and insurance rates soared. Made uneasy by the violence, white flight from the city accelerated, depressing property values. Crime in the burned out neighborhoods rose sharply, further discouraging investment.
On some blocks, only rubble remained for decades. Columbia Heights and the U Street Corridor did not begin to recover economically until the opening of metro (subway) stations at U Street in 1991 and Columbia Heights stations in 1999, which in turn assisted the areas' gentrification in the 2010s

April 8, when the city was considered pacified, 13 people had been killed in fires, by police officers, or by rioters. An additional 1,097 people were injured and over 7,600 people were arrested

I remember the insanity from those days.

I disagree. There is enough to stop THESE ****bags.
These are not upstanding citizens. These are mostly the criminal element of that city anyways. They have a great opportunity to clean their city up fast.

Vigilante response? You mean good law abiding citizens utilizing their right to self defense and protecting their city from the criminal leaches?
Thats not vigilante

Am I missing something? “Black people are the victims of hate crimes, so let’s burn down where they live and work!”

Tell that to George Washington.
Tell that to Abraham Lincoln.

Better disarm the military and police while you're at it.
Better lock people up for defending themselves.

I hope and pray we don’t find out…

If i had a business id be the "korean" on the roof.
My house, even more so. Crowds dont form as easily or they disperse when the people next to them start dropping like flies around them.

An-nee-aw-zayo, Auda-she!!

PIL-SUNG!!

I know I’m digging a hole here, but God for bid we end up in a place where citizens are shooting each other in the street like enemy combatants.

I hope and pray that the elected officials and Law enforcement in that city stop trying to be PC and do their ****ing jobs while they still have a city to govern.
The governor needs to grow a pair and deploy the national guard now. And if they dont the president needs to step up declare an emergency and federalize them and issue the orders to sweep the streets.

How many innocent people will these rioters kill or injure?
Time to protect the innocent. If you are on the street at this point uou are not innocent period

Though tragic, I was envisioning something a little bit more widespread than what’s happened thus far in Louisville.

Sounds like another whole shopping complex is on fire.

Yeah don't turn this into sonething its not.
We are talking about rioters here. Ill bet you money that there are a greater percentage of them on public assistance than arent.
Their motivation is NOT justice for this dead man

Yeah, that nonsense is the last thing we need right now.

Not a hole, a well placed concern.

To be honest, I expect them to set a reasonable time for people to walk out of the city, and anyone remaining labeled hostile enemy combatants.

Mass arrest, if there isn't room, fly their *** to gitmo.

So if one stands his ground to protect his loved ones, his property, and his self from rioters and pillagers after law enforcement has pulled out, one should be labeled a hostile enemy combatant, subject to arrest, and placed in military custody?

It's a sincere question. I am trying to check my thinking.
