WATCH: BLM and Antifa Are Rioting and Looting Once Again…But Not Because of George Floyd
Another officer-involved shooting of an unarmed black man took place in Minnesota over the weekend.
I’m going to be quite honest, they have a right to be mad about this one. Rioting is not the answer to the problem, but I think people at this point feel helpless about what to do and don’t have any real information about what they can do. That’s why they take matters into their own hands and act in an illogical manner.
So let me explain, a young man, Daunte Wright was shot and killed in a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center which is just outside of Minneapolis.
This triggered people to get so rowdy, that the National Guard actually had to be called in as well.
According to The Daily Wire,
Hundreds of apparent Black Lives Matter rioters smashed police cars, vandalized a police station, and looted businesses in Minneapolis after law enforcement shot and killed a man during a traffic stop after the man, who had an outstanding warrant, allegedly ran from police after they pulled him over.
Rocks and other objects were thrown at law enforcement officials in response to the shooting death of Daunte Wright, 20, while nearly two dozen businesses were broken into. A police officer was also transported to a hospital with injuries.
“Officers repeatedly ordered the crowd of about 500 to disperse as protesters chanted Wright’s name and climbed atop the police headquarters sign, by then covered in graffiti. Police used tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets on the crowd,” The Star Tribune reported. “National Guard troops arrived just before midnight as looters targeted the Brooklyn Center Walmart and nearby shopping mall. Several businesses around the Walmart were completely destroyed, including Foot Locker, T Mobile, and a New York men’s clothing store.”
Now, people are looting liquor stores and video game shops in the name of “justice”. This is absolutely absurd and they’re only hurting their own communities because do you really think these businesses will want to reopen after this round of riots? Absolutely not. They’re fed up with this crap, too.

On the other side of things, there are at least some people who are actually protesting peacefully and that can be respected.
