Minneapolis Protesters Liberate HD TVs from Area Target

Please applaud. The louder you applaud, the less racist you've proved you are.

Please continue applauding these Freedom Fighters.

Nationalizing the consumer electronics.


The protesters took down this Oppressor:


Freedom then broke out in Los Angeles, as protesters took the opportunity to protest citizens peaceably driving from one location to another, and to the existence of police:

They started up around noon again today, this time at a Target in St. Paul. Things are escalating quickly and it is going to get bad. Look up St Paul Police and Fire scanners online.

56 I did see video of one fine upstanding young gentlemen leaving the Target with a vacuum cleaner so that was nice.

Question: Was the Target open when this happened? As in were the employees there overrun? Because I must say that is one time where I would have encouraged the employees to get the hell out of there as fast as humanly possible. There's no way that management would have approved of defensive measures.

Throw stuff on the sidewalks and don't show any pity
After you're thru
Well you can

Kick in some doors

Steal some new shoes
And get some free booze
And go

107 The real problem here is that in a protest against abuse of police authority, they're demonstrating why the police think they need to be so abusive and show authority. They're only establishing in the minds of these people that they were right "see? SEE? This is what we are up against!!! This is why we have to be tough!!"

Its awful in every way.

And I keep seeing stupid leftists and black activists cheering this on and attacking straw men left and right about it. This was literally an event where nearly everyone from every background and ethnicity went "well that was horrible these men must pay"

Nobody was sweeping this under the rug or trying to make it go away (like the Somali cop murdering that white woman). People weren't making excuses and backing the cops except for a very small demented few.

This was literally the last event that anyone should have rioted over or even protested. The entire country was in lockstep demanding justice and condemning it.

Marching on the cop shops and City Hall and disrupting the hell out them, loudly? Taking positions and not backing down until your get resignations? Actual protest stuff? Yeah, I would totally get that and it would probably be justified based on my interpretation of events.

131 I love how this fucking disphit Donk Mayor of Minneapolis is acting like he's just some outside guy and not part of this failure they he and his fellow travelers brought about.


Now the Mayor and city council of Minneapolis have come out strong and denounced "racism" and say the non-black community has to understand the anger that black communities are expressing.


Hold up motherfuckers, you fucking run the joint, this isn't the non-black communities problem, it's your fucking failures for the last fifty odd years and chickens coming home to roost.


Fact:

The Minneapolis police chief is black so if the MPD is a tool for black oppression, it's being lead by a melanin enhanced oppressor.


It's the same crap that happened in Baltimore in the Freddy Gray case.


Literally everyone in positions of power and authority are black or democrat, and have been led by Democrats for decades and somehow "systemic institutional racism" is the culprit.


If blacks are being oppressed by "the system" its a system controlled and operated by blacks and Democrats.


Fact:
The Minneapolis police chief is black as was the Baltimore police chief so if the MPD and BPD are tools for black oppression, then they are being led by melanin enhanced oppressors.

This is all bullshit.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure contact tracing criminals is against their civil rights. But if you catch a disease that is pretty much the flu, all HIPPA laws are null and void. In theory, you will be quarantined, your children can be taken away and you could potentially lose you job.

Won't hire police, but will hire hundreds and hundreds of COVID contact tracers nationwide.

Posted by: Tom Servo at May 28, 2020 03:42 PM

As a senior Guard officer, let me say the Guard and Governors really try to avoid deploying troops in these kinds of situations. Even in places like Ferguson, it was in low-intensity areas to provide security to free up law enforcement.

Posted by: Incognito at May 28, 2020 03:46 PM (7T5tR)

142 The one reason I can't work up too much outrage at the looters (they're just feral beasts, acting like feral beasts) is that the Minnesota Governor and the Minneapolis City Govm't brought ALL OF THIS down on their own hands, by their idiotic liberal mismanagement of the State and the city. Hiring Lesbian police chiefs, dropping hiring standards, promoting a state of incompetence at every level in City government - THIS is the necessary consequence of all of that.

And Target is finding out that years of Progressive Virtue Signaling didn't buy one single minute of "good will" once things went south.

Posted by: Tom Servo at May 28, 2020 03:46 PM (Kpl3J)

143 Is there a problem in the black community with acceptable civilized standards- YES

Meh, poor dumb people are the same whatever their hue. Go to Bumstuff Tennessee where its all white folks living in trailers cooking meth in the back yard, you get the same kind of stupid behavior and ignorance.

And black people going "STOP MURDERING US YOU BASTARDS" is hardly something to be surprised at. No, its not as common as they think. Yes, the cops kill far more white people -- even per capita -- and even are being hurt by trying NOT to kill black people because they are worried about how it will look.

But this stuff keeps happening and there is absolutely zero justification or logic behind this. And when you wear a uniform, you are identified with everyone IN that uniform, as every military person knows and has been very well taught.

Cops seem to have missed that lesson a lot, in ways both large and small.

Agreed - this riot is still pretty tame by the standards of the 60's. Looting? Rioters ALWAYS loot. There was a famous anti-English riot in Edinburgh, Scotland, once where a riot broke out at one of the big Churches and spread until the entire city was consumed with rioting and burning for 3 days and nights.

The ironic thing is...everybody knows this statement to be true. Yet, nobody will approach it for various PC reasons. It's quite a problem, everyone sees it, knows it, acknowledges it to themselves, yet dare not speak it. It's a sad situation and it's sad for society. It will likely never improve.

I agree completely, and so should cops. They used to (maybe still are?) trained that way as well. But I think cop culture, once you get out of the academy, is a different story.

And black people going "STOP MURDERING US YOU BASTARDS" is hardly something to be surprised at. No, its not as common as they think. Yes, the cops kill far more white people -- even per capita -- and even are being hurt by trying NOT to kill black people because they are worried about how it will look.

But this stuff keeps happening and there is absolutely zero justification or logic behind this. And when you wear a uniform, you are identified with everyone IN that uniform, as every military person knows and has been very well taught.

Cops seem to have missed that lesson a lot, in ways both large and small.

I saw videos on twitter this morning of home owners and renters in the neighborhood where the businesses were all burning out in their yards dousing their houses down with water from their hoses to try to keep them from catching. I guess the fire fighters were having a hard time keeping the fires from spreading while they were dodging bottles and other debris that peeps were throwing at them.

I cannot imagine how terrifying this whole thing has to be for the bystanders that live there.

301 A couple things:

One, it wasn't just a riot by a certain demographic alone. The looters and the rioters were a diverse rainbow coalition. It was equal opportunity looting.

Two. Minneapolis is blue, but how many of the businesses are owned by Republicans living behind the lines?

Three, the police were all defending the Third Precinct house and did nothing to stop the looting. They did escort en masse the fire trucks to fires that they were worried would spread.

But if you expect them to defend your business?

But we should admit that what's really pushing this is the video, which we've all seen by now, which shows a White cop killing an unarmed black man, with people standing around him saying "Stop! You're Killing Him!!" and the cop just saying "fuk it, Ima gonna kill him."

that's driving all of this, combined by the fact that the protesters who are talking and not looting are right about one thing - if this killing had been done by someone without that uniform, they would have been locked up in the first 24 hours.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 28, 2020 03:54 PM (KZzsI)

No. You're right. And when people said that, when they said "You're right. All lives matter and we should work on this." that's when the co-opting happened.

Because normal people can look at a situation, or even statistical inequities and say, "this was wrong, it's bias, and the law and justice is supposed to be blind", but those of us who naturally want to look at the merits of each situation are ideologically opposed to collectivism and the collectivist "group politics" people hate that.

And Ace is right. They're out there now explaining how those rioters and looters really do represent the whole collective black everyone and suggesting that there's anything wrong with it all is a racist against the whole collective black everyone. So applaud to prove you're not racist. If you oppose looting you clearly want the police to kill black people. And there's no end to figuring out how to make excuses that the guy with the liquor isn't really a *man*, but someone not responsible for his actions or choices.

Rush was pondering that the other day regarding how vile people are on social media.

But we should admit that what's really pushing this is the video, which we've all seen by now, which shows a White cop killing an unarmed black man, with people standing around him saying "Stop! You're Killing Him!!" and the cop just saying "fuk it, Ima gonna kill him."

that's driving all of this, combined by the fact that the protesters who are talking and not looting are right about one thing - if this killing had been done by someone without that uniform, they would have been locked up in the first 24 hours.
Posted by: Tom Servo at May 28, 2020 04:00 PM (Kpl3J)

Absolutely, it's a murder. I don't want to hear about training and all that. That cop should have known not to kill someone by driving his knee into his neck for minutes. I know a few cops, they all know what can happen with chokeholds and bloodflow to the brain.

Does making up for this murder require looting and violence from black people. No. That isn;t going to change shit, it will make it worse.

Oh, absolutely! Mobs are unthinking beasts, capable only of destruction and mayhem.

And I don't just mean the killing, although the Minneaplis PD's absurd hiring and lack of training led to it. The entire corrupt and brain dead approach that city had used in everything they've done for years is what has led to this. The rioters are just pawns, evil yes, but still just pawns.

Well yeah its always been there, but within us without the tools to reach out.

Part of it is the bravery of being out of range. You're fairly anonymous online (part of why people are almost universally opposed to 'doxxing' anyone). Its safe to be as outrageous and crazy as possible.

Part of it is that you get rewarded for being more outrageous, shocking, crazy, and extreme. You get retweets, you get likes, you get comments, you get NOTICED!!! YOU MATTER!!!

Part of it is that the worst of us are the loudest and most noticable. A study showed that about 30k of the 330,000,000 Americans are the most active on Twitter, accounting for something like 90% of the content. So it is kind of self-fulfilling. The worst and loudest control the tone and content.

And part of it is that these awful people (and just angry or foolish people) keep poking and pushing until someone starts getting loud and angry in return or pushed into a position they didn't really believe in but feel cornered and as if they have to argue it now.

That is lousy analysis. There is a wild difference between militarized police on the beat every day behaving like the population is their enemy and calling for Guard help during a riot when there's bedlam that can't be contained otherwise. Note that no one is calling to hand off policing duties to the National Guard across the board, or transferring police responsibilities to the army.

They've been told for generations now that the "American dream" is some thin materialistic game with no substance behind it.

They've decided to change the rules of the game they don't want to play.

There is a cost for spreading the justification of incivility.

That's the whole switch game of Marxism. Reduce all "arbitrary value systems" to the standard of the market dollar and then substitute the warm body for the *then* arbitrary market.

The value of the market means that *demand* is the main thing attributing value. Well, people demand.

It's really the emergence of the principle of substituting the abstracted academic theory for the muscle and sinew of reality.

528 One of the things that pisses me off about this is how we're supposed to look at this one murder and say, "Ah yes, all those times BLM screamed about justified shootings, I really should have been on their side bashing the cops."

All the activists, con men, rabble rousers, ward heelers, etc are out there saying, "SEE, THIS IS WHAT WE DEAL WITH EVERY DAY!" and I'm supposed to shut down my brain and accept that police are out there murdering black people for being black, based on extrapolation from this particular event and a loose patchwork of other questionable events.

Yes, that cop killed George Floyd. I am fairly certain cops are regularly trained on how to avoid positional asphyxia, and that cop should have known what he was doing would probably kill Floyd.

I hate what that cop did, I hate that people were begging the other cop to help and he did nothing. I don't know what he was thinking either. He probably shut down his brain too and was just in, "MUST KEEP PEOPLE BACK" mode. I don't know.

Are cops really out there regularly killing innocent black people simply for the color of their skin? I'm still fairly convinced that's rare, but a little less so than I was before. Am I ready to tear it all down? Nope. Do I think things should simply continue as they are? No, I really want to see cops training on when to intervene in what their fellow cops are doing when they're fucking up.

I get that most of the time you don't want your guys second guessing each other in the moment, but I think we need to spend a lot of time teaching these guys when to step in and how to handle the fallout when other cops start bullying people they think are not with the program for it.

Target is part of the Dayton Corp. family of companies based in Minneapolis, their Governor Mark Dayton is part of the family who started the corporation.

We went down there to sit it out in the bulding, well armed, and we were met by 3-4 of the well known local Thugs.

They were standing out front with baseball bats and our place was the only untouched business on the block.

They saw us and said 'It's not safe for you to be here. Go home. Nobody is fucking with your place tonight (or ever).'

Apparently, if you treat people with respect even the worst of them will appreciate it.

And these guys were ALL regular guests of the County Lockup. But they and their kids and girlfriends were all regulars and liked the fact that we treated them the same as anyone else in the neighborhood.

633 Not sure if you're joking or not, but Trump would have a hard time activating the Guard to stop the riots. Once he activates Guardsmen, they become Federal troops, and Posse Comitatus restrictions come into play.

639 These were never organic movements (BLM, etc). The Left has been using identity politics to advance their ideology since Marx admitted his "scientific" ideology...wasn't. Hence the New Left. Marcause was bragging about using feminism as a front movement ffs.
SDS/SNCC were organizing race riots and spreading race propaganda before the ink was dry on the Civil Rights Act. This isn't new...it just has never been dealt with intelligently (to wit, physical removal of leftists).
And let's not blame the black community for this; this is analogous to white "support" for the Klan in the 60s. Most people go about their lives, and turtle up when the loud mouths start braying. In addition, consider the long years the democong have spent on sabotaging and brainwashing poor black communities. Finally, democong agitprop set aside, there are more black sub-cultureal groups than "ghetto asshole"...and even in the ghettos, there are good people with no escape.
...because we as a society refuse to deal with the democong as the socialist traitors that they are.

648 Something wrong with the way those people were brought up




Many of them aren't 'brought up', so to speak. Daughter just last week was called in on a case of sexual abuse of a child, mom strung out on drugs, "uncle" drunk and combative, child went to DCFS. She'll likely live out her childhood in foster care, with little stable influence. And she was very very young. Daughter says she has no chance, barring divine intervention.

664 Important Announcement From Target Stores in Minneapolis: "During these uncertain times, it's important to remember social distancing and other preventative practices that reduce the chance to spread Covid-19. In that spirit, Target in Minneapolis would like to announce Curbside Looting. Just pull up to the front of the store and let us know what you would have taken during a riot situation and one of our associates will run inside and get the items for you. Remember, we're all in this together!"

What grammie winger said. There's a series of u-tube videos of the monkeys in Angkor Wat and how they raise their little tree rat babies based on the monkey pecking order (adult males on top, then adult females, then juvies, then babies) and how that pecking order is turned on its noggin by the damned tourists hand feeding the babies, and then the juvies and adults punish the babies. It's hard to watch, but not quite as hard to watch as a cop kneeling on some dude in handcuffs throat.

667 Unfortunately, this is all to be expected since most law enforcement are corrupt and too militarized. If you call in the National Guard it will just escalate the violence since they are trained more for combat since 9/11. The police department needs to be disbanded then hopefully the rioting and stealing will end in a few days, weeks or at most months.

668 Well, I suppose if you're enraged about your local police precinct, that first bit of wanton destruction in the tweet from FOX makes sense.

But the other looting and pillaging speaks to "creative acquisition during kinetic events."

Also thank God all the conservatives siding with the racial stranger instead of with the people who elect them.
