I saw a FB post that was insinuating the person on video who broke the Autozone window was a police officer, it had photos with the guys ventilator mask on and was comparing pics side by side, while its unlikely it is possible, but I remain cautiously skeptical and want some verification from non-weirdos before believing it because the original post was from a definite lefty extremist type.

Yes the previous nights. Most were college and high schoolers coming in for the excitement. Last night with the curfew in effect the roads into Minneapolis were all closed and no one could get in.

That was shown to me as debunked.
My comments here by the way are for Minneapolis. I do not mean to speak for the other cities.

For those of you who have not seen, this footage of what is reported to be a security guard disarming some twit who was stealing a police AR-15 is pretty awesome. It shows that a responsible armed citizen can defuse a dangerous situation with no shots fired. The little twit that he disarmed was about ready to wet himself, he still had his hands up as his buddy escorted him away. After they left the guy immediately cleared the firearm. Good show!

Protests gone out of control into riots, but in lots of instances the police are absolutely going out of control too and doing nothing more than throwing gas on the fire.
Seen a vid at one of the protests where a cop has a guy thrown to the ground, not resisting, and he puts his knee into his neck just like how the cop did to George Floyd. Finally another cop realizes how blatantly tone deaf that is in the current state of things and pushes the other cops knee off his neck. Like are you freaking serious!!

I was hoping it would be, hence my skepticism. I will look for that de-bunk as I think my friend who shared it needs correction. Isn't it sad that we have to sift through so much absolutely false BS repeatedly, every day, just to find the actual truth? One would imagine the folks at Snopes these days must be looking like an over-caffeinated Bill the Cat from the Bloom County comic strip with all the de-bunking that piles up daily?

Your right what the policeman did was wrong if that's the case, now put yourself in the shoes of the cops who are in an insanely crazy situation surrounded by ramped up people and knowing the sidearm you carry that has quietly but openly helped deter harm all thru your career cannot be pulled. Fear begets fear.

Apparently mental illness and drug use. But for the SJW's any excuse to get out of mom's basement.

Just Starting.....Election coming up. Democrats Boss not happy previous result.
We are being sent a message. And the message has nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd. He was merely the catalyst.
It’s the same message Nancy Pelosi sent us when she tore up Trump’s State of the Union speech in February. Ripping up that speech and what it stood for was a symbolic act. For what soon followed? – Lockdown and economic annihilation. And now the looting and burning of the cities.
This chaos is sweet victory for the communists, anarchists, Antifa, and the more radical elements within Black Lives Matter. Bernie Bros probably mixed in there as well. Don’t forget who these people are. They want revolution. Burning, violence and destruction of civil society always precedes revolution. These are Pelosi’s people.
I have often stated “ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS”…aka when in doubt of causation this is your terms of reference.
I knew “something” was going to happen…some event, based on the global economy ponzi scheme was going to implode an warnings submitted by others.
The COVID 19 was simply a clever masking agent , as even the most naive and gullible wouldn’t accept another financial meltdown without heads on platters. This is like the olde Communist scare of the 1950’s, except its an invisible enemy if it exists at all.
It is almost formulaic/inevitable that we see other events from the olde anarchy “false flag” playbook….major American cities under siege….police and military being deployed..curfews being made.
COVID 19 scare may be wearing off…so they go next on list of fear porn playbook.
Just saw a video from Minneapolis..now they are blaming “White supremacists”…they arrested some and drummmrolll….are now “Contact Tracing”…aka your cell phone info.
Mysterious death of that young black lady in Toronto….and riots ….what are the odds ???
I will predict that major Canadian cities will experience similar anarchy. The boarded -up businesses are ripe and primed for this.
PS: Keep your heads low folks….they are just getting warmed up.

If they do more looting tonight I bet a few of the stores will have the owners inside protecting their property. Down there the property owners have a right to protect their business or home. Bet you a few looters will have some leakage tonight. 😂

Last night the business rooftops were well covered by owners and others they enlisted.

Good news out of flint, Michigan.
Riot police dropped their batons, helmets and armor to march and protest with the people.
If only the rest of the country could gather join hands and end this plague.

As someone mentioned earlier, with the election coming up and both side whipping up their bases, chances are slim there will be a lot of hand holding.

Man are you simple. Extermination of violent protestors would be great instead

Not a racist, I stand for equality which appears to be a rare attribute amongst the outdoorsmen community.
There’s a difference between the ones that are looting/rioting and the ones actively protesting. There’s bad apples in every group, including the police force.

So what are they protesting for or against?

I do as well. Unjust killings happen to every “race”. It only gets reported one way. There’s equality available everywhere, some just don’t take it.

Disturbing to watch this crap going on. Watching Msnbc and good footage. They just said Trump is in the White House bunker. Why would the ******* even be in that area.

I did not see anyone being racist regarding this issue and it seems it’s unanimous that everyone agrees the officer needs to be punished. Personally I have no issues with those standing up and protesting the killing of this man and have not seen anyone speaking against that
Now when it comes to rioters looting, burning buildings, and attacking people that is another story.
Unless the Mods have had to erase posts that I did not see there was no display of outdoorsman being racist regarding this issue

The idiots doing the looting and rioting are not doing this to support any cause, these people will use any excuse to do this, and some of them are likely even paid to organize this.

Ok but I still would not agree with your statement
There is those that fit the bill but I would not claim it is rare to find members of the outdoor community that believe in equality

I kind of wish that the protesters would focus on speaking out about gang violence as much as they do police violence. Gang violence in the US accounts for around 13% of the total homicides in the US (averaging around 2000 per year between 2007 and 2012). In LA and Chicago, 50% of the homicides are gang related. They also account for 15%-30% of gun-related homicides in urban areas.
With around 1 million gang members down there and growing, the problem just keeps getting worse. The US has around 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers. So not only are they outnumbered, they are often outgunned and are constantly faced with public backlash.
I understand that law enforcement are held to a higher standard, and are there to uphold the law, but I personally feel that they are fighting an uphill battle. The US seems to average about 50 police officers feloniously killed every year, mostly with firearms. That being said, many jurisdictions need to clean up their backyard.
In the last 3.5 years the number of people shot by law enforcement in the US are as follows:
White-1268
Black-677
Hispanic-498
There are a disproportion number of black and hispanic people being shot by law enforcement, however there are also a disproportionate number of black and hispanic gang members. An estimated 46% of US gang members are hispanic, 35% are black, 11% white and others at 7%.
I don't know what the answer is, or if things will ever change down there, but it seems to be getting worse every year and the media/social media are exacerbating the problem. To be honest, I don't think that anyone capable of making a concrete difference really cares, as long as they or their loved ones aren't being affected and they can maintain their base voters. Way too many are using the George Floyd tragedy and others like it as a soapbox to propagate their own agendas. It is indeed a mess.
