Police in Riot Gear Fire Rubber Bullets and Tear Gas at Thousands of Protestors Demanding the Arrest of Four Minneapolis Cops Involved in the Death of Black Man George Floyd
Minneapolis cops in riot gear last night fired rubber bullets and tear gas at thousands of defiant protesters who took to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd, the black man who died after a white officer was filmed kneeling on his neck during his arrest.
Demonstrators carrying placards reading ‘I can’t breathe’ and ‘Justice 4 Floyd’ surrounded a police precinct Tuesday night after the disturbing video of 46-year-old Floyd begging the cop to stop before falling unconscious was shared online.
Four members of the Minneapolis Police Department who were involved in Monday’s incident have now been fired, and the FBI and state law enforcement authorities have launched an investigation into Floyd’s death.
The victim’s heartbroken family have called for the cops to be charged with murder and their lawyer revealed white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for a staggering eight minutes during the arrest for forgery.
Floyd’s death has caused outrage across America with political figures and celebrities including Cardi B, P Diddy and Demi Lovato voicing their anger.
Floyd worked as a security guard at Conga Latin Bistro, a local bistro in Minneapolis. The bar’s owners have described him as a ‘very calm, nice guy’ who was not the type to be ‘aggressive’ or ‘disrespectful’.
The demonstrators demanded the arrest of the four officers and converged on a police station, but were met with rubber bullets and tear gas fired by masked cops as the city’s streets descended into chaos.
Some had their faces doused in milk to limit the effects of the gas while others ran for cover.
The peaceful event turned ugly as it continued into the night, with footage showing both police and protesters hurling things at each other.
Police in riot gear were pictured forming a barrier around the precinct from around 7.30pm as swarms of people marched on the building, reported CBS Local.
Footage then revealed some protesters sitting on the ground, while officers threw smoke bombs, tear gas and flash grenades into the crowds.
At one point, a car was seen being struck by a tear gas canister as people ran away.
Images showed people who had gathered for the rally desperately fleeing as rubber bullets and tear gas rained down on them.
In one picture, a man was seen holding his hands up in a gesture that started in the ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ movement in Ferguson in 2014, following the fatal shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer.
Others hid behind shopping carts from the Target store nearby.
Shawanda Hill, the girlfriend of George Floyd, was pictured at the rally near the spot where her boyfriend died being comforted by other protesters as she choked back tears of grief.
A reporter for Star Tribune, Andy Mannix, said in a Twitter post that he was shot in the thigh with a rubber bullet while covering the protests, as tensions mounted between law enforcement and the protesters.
The demonstrators hit back at the police too, with some seen throwing bricks and rocks at police vehicles and smashing up the car windows.
One man was seen launching a large brick onto an empty squad car.
There have been reports of at least one officer injured in the chaos.
Hundreds of people began gathering at the intersection of E 38th St and Chicago Avenue in the city during the afternoon, ahead of a planned march of around two miles from the site of Floyd’s arrest to the police precinct.
One woman was seen wearing a face mask with the phrase ‘I can’t breathe’ written across her mouth.
Protesters raised their fists and sported face masks to protect them from the spread of COVID-19 as they gathered for the rally near the spot where Floyd died.
The clashes between police and protesters came as Floyd’s devastated family broke their silence over his death and said the firing of the four officers involved was just ‘a start’ and that the cops ‘murdered our cousin’.
Two of Floyd’s cousins spoke of their heartache to TMX.news, while the family’s lawyer called for white cop Derek Chauvin to be charged with murder and the other three officers involved charged as murder accomplices.
Shareeduh Tate, one of Floyd’s cousins, told how she watched the horrific footage on TV before realizing it was her ‘baby cousin’.
‘I actually saw it before knowing it was my cousin – I saw it on Gayle King,’ said Shareeduh Tate.
‘And I remember thinking how devastating this would be for the family who have lost their family member like this… then about five minutes after that I got a phone call saying that it was my cousin.’
She thanked the bystanders who were heard in the footage urging the police to stop what they were doing and warning them that they were killing Floyd.
‘I can’t thank them enough. We always see these kinds of things take place and we always wonder what we would do in that position and we’re so grateful… and even more so grateful for the person who was there with a camera to capture it as so many times there is not a witness around and it’s questionable as to what has happened,’ Tate said.
Floyd’s other cousin Tera Brown called the footage ‘unbelievable’.
‘It’s unbelievable to see someone suffering in the way that he did,’ she said. ‘And to have so many people around asking for them to basically allow him to live.’
Tate said the firing of the four police officers was ‘a start’ but is ‘definitely not enough’ as she blasted the authorities for ‘murdering’ the father-of-one.
‘They murdered our cousin,’ she said.

jewish Actress Frances Fisher Calls For A ‘Race War’ Against White People In Wake Of George Floyd’s Death
http://www.renegadetribune.com/wp-co...e_-800x445.jpg
Actress Frances Fisher called for a “race war” against white people in response to George Floyd’s death and said she is on team “#BlackLivesMatter.”
Fisher, who identifies as Jewish, tweeted Tuesday: “They want a race war. We’ll give them a race war. I’m with #BlackLivesMatter. We will win.”
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains,” Fisher tweeted, quoting cop killer Assata Shakur.
Fisher’s threatening tweet was deleted as of Wednesday night, though it’s not clear whether she deleted it herself or it was deleted by Twitter for violating their rules.
I’d say odds are she deleted the tweet herself as Twitter generally allows leftists to call for violence without any issue.
Regardless, Minneapolis went up in flames a day after her tweet.

US: Far-left Antifa and BLM protesters loot stores, attack police, and set fire to buildings (VIDEO)
https://voiceofeurope.com/wp-content...AM-702x459.jpg
Intense video footage has emerged out of Minneapolis, Minnesota which shows violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters along with far-left Antifa members looting department stores, attacking police officers, and setting fire to buildings.
The protests and riots come after George Floyd, an unarmed black man, died on Monday after being handcuffed and having his neck pinned to the ground by an overzealous police officer’s knee. The entire incident was recorded on video and has sparked widespread outrage among the country’s African American community, a community which feels unjustly persecuted by police officers.
Since the video surfaced, all four police officers involved in Floyd’s death have been fired – but people are calling for further and more severe punitive measures to be taken against the officers.
Protests across Minneapolis which began on Tuesday escalated dramatically on Wednesday evening, with multiple fires being set, widespread looting, a fatal shooting near site of protests, and the deployment of teargas, local media reports.
Firefighters, while responding to a fire ripping through an auto parts store, were attacked by protesters, leaving them unable to put out the fire. Protesters also attacked the Minneapolis’ Third Precinct police headquarters, hurling objects at it before eventually setting fire to it as well. Looters also made off with TVs, clothing, groceries, and other retail items from the local Target store.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey plead for the protesters to “keep the peace”, urging them not to “let tragedy beget extra tragedy”. Frey also has asked the state’s government to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to help stop the widespread looting and violence.
In a press conference on Wednesday evening, Frey called for the police officer who was directly involved in the death of Floyd to be arrested, saying: “Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?”
“If you had done it, or I had done it, we would be behind bars right now.”
“We are not talking about a split-second decision that was made incorrectly,” Frey said. “There’s somewhere around 300 seconds in those five minutes, every one of which the officer could have turned back … and removed his knee from George Floyd’s neck.”
Across the country, in Los Angeles, Black Lives Matters protesters blocked off the 101 Freeway near the downtown area and attacked police vehicles.

Last Night’s Riots in Minneapolis

Last night in Minneapolis, there was an eruption of violence, destruction, and looting, largely in and around the ghetto part of Lake Street, one of the city’s main thoroughfares. For a roundup of videos of what happened, see our blog post here.
I lived near Lake Street; none of this is surprising. The area is a mix of mostly Somalis, blacks, and Hispanics, with some American Indians and whites as well — and is exactly what you would expect it to be. “Midtown Phillips,” as it’s called (just “Midtown” to locals), is very dangerous:

This clip has made the rounds, but it may not be genuine:
Rioters attacked police cars after breaking into a police compound.

Demonstrators gathered at the home of Derek Chauvin, the police officer at the center of the controversy. Someone splashed red paint on his driveway and scrawled “MURDERER” in chalk. Here, police defend the home. “Look how fucking many are defending a murderer’s house!”
There were also protests in Los Angeles. “Make America Native Again,” this woman exclaims, while demonstrators burn an American flag.
Also in LA, a mob blocked the freeway. A police car went through it:
