The riots are continuing in Minneapolis, Minn. after a black man was killed by a white cop as he was being detained for allegedly writing bad checks.
Rioters have set their sights on Target, a familiar looting ground for the racial justice demonstrators:

Law enforcement officers are being targeted by the angry mob for trying to keep order with shopping carts being thrown at police cruisers:

Cops are showing incredible restraint as they attempt to quell the mob, whose lust for destruction seemingly cannot be satiated:

The police are desperately attempting to protest the Target from being looted, but protesters are not making it easy for them to protect and serve:
I’m at 30% battery. Will be here another hour before leaving. This is going to be a very long day and night.

The city is still a war zone with businesses being looted and chaos in the streets:

The aftermath of yesterday’s riots looked like an apocalyptic wasteland this morning:

This is all taking place in the Congressional district of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Big League Politics reported yesterday on how Omar and her daughter have fomented the terror in the streets by supporting the mob activity.
Our anger is just.
Our anger is warranted.
And our priority right now must be protecting one another.

Ilhan Omar’s daughter retweeted a list of needed supplies for “comrades” who are rioting in Minneapolis. The Twin Cities DSA asks for ply wood, sticks, rackets and more. pic.twitter.com/BFjXIQh8wE

President Donald Trump has said that he is ordering federal investigators to get to the bottom of what happened to George Floyd and his death apparently caused by acts of police brutality.
“At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd,” Trump wrote in a Tweet published on Wednesday.
“I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George’s family and friends. Justice will be served!” he added.
It is clear that these riots are not about justice, but rather, about a group of thugs looking for any excuse to steal. The fruits of a diverse and multicultural America have become rotten.
