When it comes to the pervasive r****m that runs through this country you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
Yes, most of those arrested are from Minnesota. That doesn’t change the fact that black men keep getting k**led.
Saying nothing, remaining silent, and not acknowledging the r****m is being part of the problem.

I hesitated to post these as I thought it would quickly turn away from the photos.
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.
Your photos are well taken, like the last one the best.....

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.
Very well said, wish more people would said and thing like you, not this trash talk I am reading. Your pictures are very well done and said a lot.
Great photos Alex - as a record what the police bestiality can cause?
I am actually sorry for those four guys who have not obviously had a right family education in their youth to know better and allowing themselves to do this incredible crime.
Just like the Great Deprecion photos and the images of horrors during the Second War, it is to remember for us, how low the human mentality can drop?
Are we ever able to learn?
Thank you Alex for your well presented history!
Your photographs speak loudly! These images tell a story. Thank you for posting them. I must add those who think this is a Democrat or Republican issue in my humble opinion are wrong. This is an American problem, it is our problem and we need to fix it! It has gone on through administrations from both major parties. It is time for the American party to correct this problem. These photographs show what has happened and what we need to try and keep from happening again. I repeat they speak loudly.
BTW I used to live in Minnesota. Also Cincinnati, Denver, and Indianapolis, I wish them all well in this time.
Your last is as powerful an image as any I've seen in a long, long time.
Nice images. The B&W works well.
I'm sorry that G****e F***d is dead. why he died is still not conclusive. Yet many including Governor Walz as well as many other politicians are openly calling the arresting officer a murderer. Our leaders shouldn't be trying guilt over the media. They are affecting the future trial and juries; possibly making a trial impossible. Minneapolis has plenty of criminals living in the affected areas of Lake Street, North Minneapolis, downtown Minneapolis and University Ave in St. Paul. Many people who live in the metro area are familiar with how thugs have taken over there and openly sell drugs and are involved in other illegal activities. Police are frustrated arresting with these thugs to see them released shortly afterward and watching them immediately go back to their trade. Are the mobs made up of out of state thugs? Maybe, but Minneapolis and St. Paul already have plenty of thugs who are happy to l**t, fire bomb, and terrorize without outside help.
People who do that destruction have sick minds. I would hope they were all arrested and locked away, but I know better. I cannot comprehend the mindset of people who do this kind of destruction. A segment of our society apparently have no conscience whatsoever.

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.
I know people who live in Minneapolis, and they say that the claim of these anarchists being outsiders is not true, that most of them are local people. The outsiders claim was made by officials trying to appease--always blame it on someone else.
I agree Jaymat, That's my opinion too. Governor Walz and other of his staff probably endorsed the outsider comments to try to end the r**ts. It didn't work. People I know don't buy it either, but there probably were some outsiders involved.
Leon and Jaymat,
This is about s******c r****m. In this country.

I can understand protesting but I can never understand burning, l**ting, and destroying your own neighborhood.
L**ters only care about free stuff, destroyers only care about destruction.
I doubt any of them give a RRE about Floyd...
