    I’m watching right now on the news some people breaking into a chipotle and carrying the safe out. I saw earlier footage of a guy getting sucker punched in the back of the head. It the suspect was a white supremacist he had a really good disguise. Community leaders include members of BLM have called for calm and tried to get the word out but looting is still happening.

    You want to justify what’s going, you want to quote MLK out of context again. Go ahead.

    Yup people don't care about facts, they just react to anything.
    Americans are controlled by Social Media.
    The Russians knew that. They really didn't have to do anything except make some posts to change our election.

    Why do people think China wants TikTok to dominate America?

    Why is Facebook stock still high as hell?

    Weak minded people are controlled by social media. All of it.

    Look at the GARM, Max Kellerman says Luka is better than Harden and all of you act like this more important than the Rockets game.


    Stay Safe brother!

    When did I quote MLK out of context, ever? Please post that for me.

    When did I justify people stealing anything that doesn't belong to them? How come you're more concerned over broken windows and stolen goods than people being murdered in cold blood? How come you fail the grasp the concept that when you deny people a basic humanity, all of society suffers for it... even a ****ing Chipotle. You want to stop seeing people burn things down and break into things, then collectively society has to do something about it. You think this **** didn't happen twenty years ago or fifty years ago? Think again. Hell, is that stupid CVS in Baltimore up yet? Hurray for CVS!

    At this point I don’t think this is even people acting off of the false report. It’s been widely reported and as stated community leaders including people from BLM have been telling people this isn’t a LE shooting.

    These are opportunistic people taking advantage of the situation. This is not the voice of the unheard. These are people looking for an excuse. This will not help the situation or advance the cause of social justice.

    Also to Kristi Noem, Pence and the rest of RNC. FU for Exploiting our suffering for your political gain. FYI my Democratic, Mayor and governor are acting right now.

    If Trump and others at the RNC want to help tell your supporters not to come to Minneapolis to try to “protect businesses”.
    If it comes down to it I will go back out and protect my neighborhood. Last thing I need is some armed teenager coming pretending he is playing Call of Duty Urban warfare.

    You were baiting me and I responded and now you get all self righteous as my city is suffering again.

    tell me though what does someone getting killed in cold blood have to do with looting Chipotle tonight? Who was killed in cold blood tonight in Minneapolis?

    What sucks is that we are at a place where people are so willing to act rather than research... So frustrated that they feel violence is the only way to be heard. I'm not excusing any of it or saying it's okay. But it doesn't happen in a vacuum.

    The best way to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future is shine a light on the mistakes that were made but to take and publicize steps to fix the inherent problems with the system that have been happening for more than one hundred years.

    I understand people are frustrated but this is a false report. No one has been killed in cold blood. It was a suicide

    I respect the people out there trying to calm things down. The people who are still looting aren’t doing it for any higher purpose.

    I support you and believe you cause you are on the ground and are a trusted member of Clutchfans.
    I don't trust the people who just scour social media to pick and choose which stories sound correct.

    stay safe!

    LEO Killing and Suicide are about equally believable about now

    The 7 shots in the back in nearby Wisconsin and the knee to George Floyd's neck for 8 minutes in Minneapolis and now this bogus police shooting rumor are clearly being used as a rationale or a cover to loot and burn things down. Do you see any random Chipotles around the country being looted?

    Your city is suffering because they have supported racist ass police departments and their outrageous conduct. It's not suffering because a stupid Chipotle got looted.

    Did you find my MLK quote yet?

    There is a massive LE presence in downtown of both MPD and State PD. It sounds like things are calming down.

    Yes a bogus shooting is being used as rationale. That is my point.

    in case you missed it my city charged all four LEO and Chauvin with 2nd degree murder. Months ago. Yet you’re still justifying looting over a bogus shooting.

    The MLK quote was “riot is the language of the unheard.” I’ll say again tonight isn’t the language of the unheard and in that same speech that MLK said that he also reiterated his commitment to non violence an said that riot was ultimately self defeating.

    just to add there are members of BLM calling for calm and trying to stop this. They aren’t going around saying Minneapolis is suffering because it supported racist ass police departments
