As someone from the Twin Cities, the opportunists here include white supremacists and outside agitators as well as local folks who took advantage of this loss of control. We had hockey riots too, & burned cars, in 2003 and 2014; no one made your argument there. We have a strong civic community here, and there are many more protestors taking care of each other, taking care of small businesses, and trying to keep the peace here.

Yes, sh*& is going down here. We need change. The arrest of Omar Jimenez of CNN on camera accurately represents the situation for black men in Minneapolis. This is not about broken windows or graffiti. This is about George Floyd, Philando Castile, Jamar Clark, the fact that Devin Chauvin who killed George Floyd has been involved in multiple shootings and has never been prosecuted -- even after killing other people. That's your broken window, hah.
