I can understand protesting but I can never understand burning, l**ting, and destroying your own neighborhood.

That is the reasoning power of an infantile 3 year old mind. Ignorant people destroying their own community .

While I h**e to see this violence snd destruction, I cannot pretend to know what it is like to live every day knowing something horrific could happen to me simply because of the color of my skin. What happened to G****e F***d has happened too many times in this country. While that's no excuse for r**ting and l**ting, there is also no excuse for our failure to overcome the r****m that still prevails in our country.

I don’t condone the violence. I ask only for those who watch with their eyes and minds closed to consider. . .

I want someone to explain to me in a reasonable world how this is the Republicans or President Trumps fault.

This and recent other similar events happen in Long-Standing Democrat Controlled locales, Democrats have been in charge of the Police Department, the Executive and the legislature in these places of unrest for a really long time. Why is it someone else's fault that the needs and expectations of the local population are not being met in such a way that they are so frustrated or unhappy that they have to react like this!

But it isn't the people living in those neighborhoods that are doing the destruction. It is outstate anarchists and left-wing extremists that come in from out of state that are doing the damage. Two nights ago 100% of the arrests made in St. Paul, Mn were from out of town. Atlanta reported 70% of their arrests did not live in Atlanta let alone Georgia.

Thank you Tommy and lesdmd. Walking around my city and seeing this is heart breaking. If it wasn’t for the video Mr. Floyd would have been simply another ‘died while in custody’ statistic.

Many people grieve with you. Your sentiments reflect mine. I cannot understand the destruction and violence. However, the grievance is real and valid. I did not catch the name of the man on NBC's national news last night who said they have found that 80% of the people r**ting are not from the city. Many people do not understand that the businesses destroyed/damaged may not be covered by insurance due to r**ting.

My heart is broken.

All I will say is that’s it’s very easy to be critical when viewing historical trauma through a lens of white privilege.

Btw ... it is ‘their’, not ‘there’

The police officer involved was never fired because of the s******c r****m in the Mpls police department. Too many of the ‘good’ officers turn a blind eye which makes them just as culpable.
