Rioting continues across Democratic cities of the USA


Minnesota is requesting an additional 1,000 National Guard troops as once again, violent opportunistic anarchists looted and burned and even went after first responders trying to put out fires or give first aid to the injured at the riots ignited by the death of George Floyd.

Floyd died Monday while being helplessly pinned to the ground for over 8 minutes, handcuffed from behind and begging former officer Derek Chauvin for his life. Three other bad cops looked on and did nothing to stop the killing and all four were immediately fired from the police force.

Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota National Guard Adjutant Gen. Jon Jensen announced the request of additional troops at a news conference early Saturday, FOX 9 of Minneapolis reported.

Walz, who seems to be as effective as a pair of binoculars for Stevie Wonder, has been unable to quell the violence in the Twin Cities but he gives good speeches.

"This is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota history that we have out there today and quite candidly right now, we do not have the numbers," Walz said. "We cannot arrest people when we are trying to hold ground because of the sheer size, the dynamics and the wanton violence.”

Minneapolis police reported gunshots were fired at their officers near the city's Fifth Precinct on Friday night, this coming one night after rioters broke into and burned the Third Precinct to the ground while nothing was done to stop the anarchists.

The Associated Press reported that President Trump requested the Pentagon put military police on alert for possible rapid deployment to Minnesota. Soldiers at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and Fort Drum in New York, were ordered to be ready within four hours of being called. Troops at Fort Collins in Colorado and Fort Riley in Kansas have been told to be ready within 24 hours.

Derek Chauvin
Chauvin was subsequently arrested and charged with third-degree murder Friday, sparking protests and rioting across the U.S., in cities such as New York City, Washington, D.C.,  Chicago, IL, Columbus, OH, Louisville, KY, Dallas, TX, San Jose and Los Angeles, CA, and Portland, OR.

“The arrest of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the brutal killing of George Floyd is a welcome but overdue step on the road to justice,” Ben Crump, the Floyd family attorney, said Friday, as reported by Fox 9. “We expected a first-degree murder charge. We want a first-degree murder charge. And we want to see the other officers arrested.”

Chauvin has 18 prior complaints against him for abuse of his position as a police officer.

But rather than the nation honoring the Floyd family, arson fires of small and large businesses, looting and smashed windows and burning of vehicles was the way the rioting anarchists behaved. From some cities came reports of gunfire against police officers who basically stood down, many with their thumbs up their nether regions doing nothing to stop the rioters.

However, in New York, rioters torched a police van and NYPD officers reported hundreds of arrests, The New York Post reported. And in San Jose, police officers fired on an SUV that struck at least two people, according to the Mercury News.

At least some cities did what they could to protect property and life, but some bystanders reported being injured.

In Oakland, Calif., police said several officers were injured by projectiles, FOX 2 of the Bay Area reported.

In Washington, the White House was briefly placed on lockdown as crowds reached a boiling point, FOX 5 of DC reported. The mob pushed back the bicycle barriers but the Secret Service wouldn't allow them to approach beyond that point.

In Atlanta, a crowd stormed the entrance to the Comedy News Network (CNN) headquarters, at one point climbing onto the TV network’s logo outside the building as Ali Velshi, a virtual journalist, remarked, "This is a peaceful protest, there's nothing to see here," as buildings burned behind him.

Atlanta Democrat Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms begged the anarchists to stop their anarchy and go home and maybe turn on some MSNBC and chill.

"What I see happening in the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta,” Bottoms said, evidently thinking she was in Oglethorpe, Georgia or someplace not Atlanta.
 “This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. This is chaos. A protest has purpose.”

Well, anarchy also has purpose. It is designed to destroy the foundation of the country because it rejects all sets of hierarchy and calls for the abolition of the state. It is almost never peaceful and that is what we are seeing in these riots, where besides the violence, there is self-serving enrichment [looting].

Early Saturday, Chicago police were deployed to the Trump International Hotel and Tower, where a crowd had gathered. In spite of the violence occurring mostly in Democratic-run cities, in Democratic governed states, everything is Trump's fault.

Hundreds of protesters filled the streets in Louisville, where they demonstrated for a second night not only against Floyd’s death but against the death of Breonna Tayler, an emergency room technician who was wrongfully killed by a police officer in her home on March 13.

Teargas had to be deployed by police.

"This has been a very sad night for our city," Louisville Democrat Mayor Greg Fischer told reporters just after 1 a.m. Saturday. “There needs to be ample recognition of the underlying inequity that causes so much of this frustration, but there is no excuse for the destruction of property we have seen this evening. This is not protest; it is violence.”

Ya think?

While former cop Chauvin has been charged with third degree murder and manslaughter, the three other scumcrumpet cops who were fired for standing by while Floyd begged for his life, have not been charged with any crimes, which in itself, seems to be a crime.
