Valerie Jarrett: Trump’s Embrace of White Supremacists ‘Fueling Anger’ of Protesters
www.breitbart.com
It seems obvious now that this is another deep state operation. Anything to harm Trump and win the election. They were just waiting for opportunities to start riots. When you have areas where citizens have taken on the Obama mindset then it is not too hard to send a few trained operatives out to kick things off and fan the flames. And the media will do there part too.

I knew when I looked at George and thought, damn he's built like a bouncer. They all have links with cops as club security, nationwide, they snitch on the dealers. Floyd's a white hat.
people locally are connecting dots bigtime
when cops on live mic are laughing about enriching themselves during a riot spree? well...
I'd say what's left of Mpls police dept. is laying in smoking ruins in the 3rd precinct filing cabinets so their corruption gets buried by a bulldozer. It will have to be re established, city will likely be occupied by troops soon. You have kin up there, time to go camp/fish.
Mall of America has missed last 2 mortgage payments and has a billion in debt. word is the local govt. wants the kids to do their dirty work for them and trash it, insurance writeoff. If this is true, can be proven, inciting insurrection and mayhem? God help them.
Amy's VP bid most likely now lies in tatters, thank God
elsewhere chan are saying the following, you will have to go read it yourselves, summary:
- Chauvin and Floyd were both working security at El Nuevo Rodeo, overlapping shifts
- That the building with the nightclub also houses La Raza Radio of Mpls.
- The radio station is offline due to power outage & station owner upset, leaked truth out
- Chauvin's wife got caught kiting check(s), $2500 worth
- $900,000 in Chinese counterfeit currency was raided back in January, news articles on it
- Floyd was passing one of the couterfeit bills and a store employee called the cops
at this point any sane person says, this is a huge takedown operation as the state was up for grabs top to bottom, and let the feds clean house.
NOTHING is what it seems. I direct you to my comments on the Woman calls cops on black man in Central Park thread and the scripted fakery now underway out there too.
Don't get high blood pressure over any of this, don't get in Karen fights with family. Let the professionals do their jobs as it plays out and truth comes out about everything.

| Keith Ellison invites antifa to the party By Post Editorial Board January 4, 2018 | 6:40pm | Updated 
Keith Ellison Maybe the Democratic Party’s No. 2 was just joking about antifa violence. Or maybe he supports it. On Wednesday, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the Democratic National Committee’s deputy chair, tweeted a photo of himself cheekily smiling with a copy of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.” His caption: “I just found the book that strike [sic] fear in the heart of @realdonaldtrump.” Obnoxious and wrong: Violence prompts moderates to support the side being attacked against the one violating civic norms. Antifa helps Trump. Yet it also plays well on the left, feeding fantasies of a serious threat from right-wing extremists. And Ellison, who spent years defending the odious Louis Farrakhan, is a radical who gains from that polarization. In short, he wasn’t just trolling the right for kicks, he was baiting liberals like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who have denounced antifa’s thuggery. When you talk about antifa, Pelosi said, “you’re not talking about the far left of the Democratic Party — they’re not even Democrats.” Ellison plainly disagrees. |

And I see it a bit differently. Any citizen who is willing to "Take Revenge" in this manor is the real cause of this violence. They have no right to blame anyone else. It is all on them. They are completely guilty for their actions. They did not just attack those that they considered responsible for some wrong. They attacked everyone. And that is where they lost any justification for their actions. And their itching ears are just longing to hear someone say that someone else is responsible for these uncivil riotous acts. It just feeds there justification for acting like animals. And then so many innocent people suffer.

How could he work as security with that kind of record? I thought security personal status kind of gave me the assurance there was a limit to the criminality a man could have been caught at
It depends on who is doing the hiring.
If he worked "in house", directly for the establishment, they can hire whoever they want. If he was a contractor, it falls under state regulation and he would have to undergo a background check.

When Prince was found dead in the elevator of his Paisley Park studios, his last Cub foods receipt was found in his dressing room. Recall he rode a bike in a wig to pick up his scrip and paid cash incognito?
The four Fleet enemas he purchased suggests he had serious constipation, side effect of opioid addiction. His *security entourage* likely were into procuring Chinese fentanyl as a sideshow. Prince probably died a hero too. Let it play out.

Protests swept across a number of major American cities on Thursday, with crowds taking to the streets to demand action against police brutality and accountability for several related deaths.
Minneapolis and St. Paul, known as the "Twin Cities" of Minnesota, both saw huge protests. In St. Paul, protesters faced off against riot police, batting tear gas canisters back and forth. More than 170 businesses were looted or damaged by the protests, police said.

And in Minneapolis, thousands of protesters surrounded a police precinct and set it on fire. They spray-painted the sides of the building, tried to climb up it, and cheered as the flames engulfed the building.
All staff inside had been evacuated prior to the fire.

Minneapolis mayor responds to Trump accusation of weakness
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has responded to President Trump's tweet, which accused Frey earlier tonight of weak leadership.
Trump's tweet: "A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak radical left mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the city under control, or I will send in the National Guard and get the job done right," Trump said.
Frey's response: The mayor addressed the President's comments at a press conference tonight.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the looting and destruction seen in the city tonight during violent protests.
"What we have seen over the past several hours and the past couple of nights in terms of looting is unacceptable," he said at a press conference. "Our communities cannot and will not tolerate it."
On the burning police station: A police precinct was set on fire, vandalized and surrounded by protesters tonight -- but there was no sign of the police or firefighters. When asked why, Frey pointed to other fires and looting incidents that officers had to respond to as well.
The Minnesota National Guard, which was mobilized earlier in the evening, are now stationed at various locations facing potential looting, including banks, grocery stores, and pharmacies, he said.

Louisville mayor urges peace as protests continue
Credit: WDRB
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer called for peace and order in the Kentucky city as protests continue to escalate.
“Understandably, emotions are high. As Breonna’s mother says, let’s be peaceful as we work toward truth and justice," he posted on his official Facebook page.
Breonna Taylor, 26, was an EMT who was killed during a police raid of her apartment in Louisville.
During the raid in March, Taylor was shot at least eight times when three officers forcibly entered her apartment to serve a search warrant in a narcotics investigation. The department said the men announced themselves and returned gunfire when Taylor's boyfriend fired at them.
Her death, like those of Ahmaud Arbery and now George Floyd, have sparked outrage across the nation, with many Louisville protesters tonight holding signs bearing Taylor's name.

Trump tweets on Minneapolis protests: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts"
US President Donald Trump just tweeted about the ongoing protests in Minneapolis, warning that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
He criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as "very weak" and showing "a total lack of leadership."
"These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!" he tweeted.
It's past midnight in Minneapolis, but protests are still ongoing. Earlier tonight, demonstrators set a police precinct on fire, which continues to burn. All staff inside the building were evacuated earlier in the day, and the fire department has yet to arrive on scene and extinguish the flames.
Some context: This is now the third night of protests across Minnesota and the country, following the death of George Floyd, who was shown on video being pinned to the ground by a white police officer who pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for several minutes.
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was unarmed and handcuffed, pleaded that he could not breathe. He was declared dead at a nearby hospital soon after, according to authorities.

Shop owner speaks out about the phone call to the police that lead up to the death of George Floyd. Floyd paid for cigarettes with a fake twenty dollar bill. Unfortunately Floyd remained out in front of the store until the police arrived.
The store owner claims most times customers don't know they're using a counterfeit and standard protocol is to just ask them where they got it.
The owner also states that in his store's security vidio Floyd is not resisting arrest when assaulted by officers. The owner has been asked not to release the video. He also expressed support for Floyd's family. Reporters stated he is going to pay for Floyd's funeral.

God has a plan, Trust it!
SO remind me again what Minnehaha Wine and Liquors had to do with this and why they destroyed their business over the murder of this man?
And exactly how "looting" 170 businesses in the area contributed anything beneficial to the protest? Only proved that they cant peacefully protest and they take advantage of the lawlessness. No sense of morality. What is wrong is wrong on both sides of the fence...whether someone is watching, there is threat of arrest or not.

House Judiciary committee demands Department of Justice investigation on police violence
From CNN's Jeremy Herb and Manu Raju
The House Judiciary Committee has sent a letter to the Department of Justice, calling for an investigation into police violence.
The committee is opening its own oversight and legislative action in response, said the letter.
“America’s history of racism and racially motivated violence is a plague that continues to live on through generations," said Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler.
"The federal government has a critical role to play in promoting a culture of accountability for all law enforcement organizations, including at the state and local level. This is why House Judiciary Democrats have sent a letter today to the US Department of Justice to demand action."
He added that the committee would open its own oversight and legislative action "to address the crisis of racial profiling, excessive force by law enforcement and lost trust between police departments and the communities they serve.”
The letter pointed to a number of recent cases in addition to George Floyd that have attracted nationwide attention -- Ahmaud Arbery, who was was killed while jogging near Brunswick, Georgia, and Breonna Taylor, an EMT who was killed after officers forced their way inside her home.

Only idiots and morons chit their own bed. These rioters are burning down the infrastructure of their own town where they live. How are they going to eat and how are they going to live now in a burned out shell? Rioters are not protesters and the only way to deal with them is harshly. And if anyone needs another reason why not to live in an urban area in the present environment you have it here. Things can go south pretty quick.

Twitter flagged Trump's tweet about shooting looters as violating rules on "glorifying violence"
From CNN's Brian Stelter
US President Donald Trump's tweet on the protests in Minnesota, which he posted earlier tonight as protesters set fires in St. Paul and Minneapolis, has been flagged by Twitter as violating the platform's rules.
The original tweet read:
"This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible," says the notice.
A separate statement from the official Twitter Communications account explained that the tweet had been flagged "based on the historical context of the last line, its connection to violence, and the risk it could inspire similar actions today."
The warning message will likely fuel Trump's ongoing dispute with Twitter. Just yesterday, Trump signed an executive order targeting social media companies, days after Twitter called two of his tweets "potentially misleading."
On Tuesday, Twitter applied a fact-check to two of Trump's tweets, including one that claimed, without evidence, that mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud. Trump immediately shot back, accusing the social media giant of censorship and warning that if it continued to offer addendums to his messages, he would use the power of the federal government to rein it in, or even shut it down.
Tech companies are also pushing back on the order; Facebook and Google have said Trump's proposal risks harming the internet and the wider digital economy.

Here's a look at the biggest developments:
- Minnesota protests: Floyd died in Minneapolis, which saw large-scale protests on Thursday. Crowds numbering in the thousands set fire to a police precinct, which had been evacuated earlier in the day. In nearby St. Paul, protesters and police faced off with tear gas. More than 170 businesses were damaged or looted, according to police, and the Minnesota National Guard was mobilized to both cities.
- Nationwide outrage: It wasn't just Minnesota; protesters took to the streets in Denver, Colorado; New York City; Memphis, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; and Columbus, Ohio.
- Trump and Twitter: President Donald Trump tweeted about the Minnesota protests, saying "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Twitter has since flagged the tweet as violating the platform's rules and "glorifying violence."
- Investigation into the death: Local and federal officials have not announced any charges against the officers involved in Floyd's death, but said the investigation is a top priority. All four officers have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination.
- Federal call for action: The House Judiciary Committee urged the Justice Department to investigate, saying the federal government has a critical role to play in promoting a culture of accountability for all law enforcement organizations.
- The officer who knelt on Floyd's neck: The officer, Derek Chauvin, had 18 prior complaints filed against him with the Minneapolis Police Department's Internal Affairs. It's unclear what these complaints were for.

I wish Trump would THINK before tweeting!
This THUGS comment was just plain dumb. It will be repeated ad nauseum.
It will be used against him just like the "fine people" one during Charlottesville. Sometimes Trump is his own worst enemy.
A real shame.
Apparently they'll be more occupied discussing how his tweet was a veiled threat to have NG murder protesters.
..Doesn't matter what he does, or doesn't, say or do. I look at it as giving the kids colouring books to keep them busy while the adults talk.

Agree.
And just as soon as George/Antifa shows up, absolute open season until he and his are wiped from the face of the earth, with all that entails.
I know.....easier said than done.
But when you’ve a mountain of wood to work up, you gotta start somewhere.
Which may explain the run on gun purchases in recent times. The citizenry senses that society will not protect them. They are on their own.
