A reader writes about the manufactured chaos in Minneapolis:

Chaos in Minneapolis last night.  St. Paul my side of the cities was behaved.  The state has the largest enforcement force ever assembled in the state. Around 1500. They protected downtown Minneapolis, the Federal Reserve building, and the power station.  Then the mobile force tried to protect the rest. 1000 more protesters was too many for them.  They were overwhelmed.  They did manage to contain three spots but only after three hours of burning destroyed a bank, a post office, and numerous other businesses.

Intel says that the drug cartels, anarchists, and white supremacists among others have organized and infiltrated the peaceful civil disobedients.  Sound like back in the 60’s when the South blamed outside influences, doesn’t it? However I expect there is a truth in it.  There is a worldwide organized movement to converge here tomorrow.  Expecting one of the largest crowds we have ever seen. I think the governor is going to allow the army to come help. An unprecedented event.

At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before they blame the burning of Minneapolis on me and Big Bear. It’s remarkable how those insidious “white supremacists” have cleverly managed to infiltrate both Soros-funded Antifa and the jogger community. It looks like it’s going to be a long, hot summer now that they are officially up in arms.

Two Federal Protective Service officers were shot – one fatally – during Friday night protests in Oakland, California, as violent protests across the US intensified over the killing of George Floyd.

At least 7,500 demonstrators took to the streets in Oakland last night, clashing with police and sparking arson attacks and vandalism across the city. During the squirmish, two officers with the Federal Protective Service – a part of Homeland Securitycreated to protect government facilities – were shot. Police are investigating.

‘Two Federal Protective Services officers stationed at the Oakland Downtown Federal Building suffered gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, one succumbed to his injury,’ the police department told CNN. 

Meanwhile, a 19-year-old protester was shot dead in Detroit last night, while soldiers in North Carolina and in New York were ordered to be ready to move in within four hours and troops in Colorado and Kansas within 24 hours.

It’s going to get worse, a lot worse, before everyone is ready to accept the fundamental necessity of homogeneous nation-states again, which is the prerequisite for re-establishing civilization. The other option, of course, is Chung Kuo. Try to keep in mind that the fact that you are inclined toward favoring a multi-ethnic global empire doesn’t mean that you’re going to be the one to rule it.

Another Minneapolis friend told me that he and his wife witnessed people literally lining up to take turns looting the Walgreens.

I’m not even remotely surprised by these preliminary findings, given that the position of the police officer’s knee rendered it impossible for him to cut off George Floyd’s air supply:

The criminal complaint filed against Chauvin, 44, cited that preliminary findings from a Tuesday autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner saw ‘no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation’.

‘Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease,’ said the complaint from the Hennepin County Attorney.

‘The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.’

The full medical examiner’s report is pending.

As always, remember that the one thing we can be absolutely certain did not happen is The Official Story/ Which, in this case, means Officer Chauvin did not kill George Floyd by kneeling on his neck, for starters. And we can already be highly confident that this coroner’s report means that Officer Chauvin will be found not guilty of third-degree murder, which suggests considerably more jogger violence will take place throughout the summer.

I don’t know about you, but I’m already looking back wistfully at the halcyon days of the Great Lockdown.

The media is staging at least some aspects of the “protests” in Minneapolis:

A smaller protest continued Thursday at Chauvin’s home…. A photographer at the house Thursday morning appeared to stage a shot in the officer’s driveway by encouraging two people to spray “Kill Pig Cops” on the garage door, according to Jennifer Kennetz of St. Paul. She said the woman claimed to be a magazine photographer and tried to persuade Kennetz and others to pose for her near the home.

Kennetz said she later saw the photographer persuade a young couple to spray paint the garage door while recording it with her cellphone. Police confiscated the phone, Kennetz said, and an Oakdale police spokeswoman confirmed the incident was under investigation.

At this point, it won’t surprise me to learn that George Floyd isn’t even dead.

Nothing spells civic order like a police precinct burning to the ground. The violence in Minneapolis has spread to the suburbs of St. Paul, and it’s almost certainly going to get worse over the next few days because there is very likely something hinky going on behind the scenes. First, George Floyd and Officer Chauvin not only knew each other, they worked together at the same “club” on Lake Street.

“George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. ‘Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open,’ Santamaria said. ‘They were working together at the same time, it’s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside.’

Second, there is a good chance that neither Chauvin nor the three other officers involved will be charged with any crimes, as the county attorney clearly signaled yesterday.

At a press conference Thursday, Mike Freeman, county attorney for Hennepin County, condemned the actions of white cop Derek Chauvin as ‘horrific and terrible’, but said prosecutors needed to determine if he used ‘excessive’ force when he knelt on the black man’s neck for eight minutes until he passed out and later died.

‘That video is graphic and horrific and terrible and no person should do that,’ he said. ‘But my job in the end is to prove he violated a criminal statute – but there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge.’

And third, the situation now appears to be getting completely out of hand, the full extent of which cannot be properly understood unless you are familiar with the geography of the Twin Cities.

An angry crowd broke into the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct headquarters Thursday night and set fire to the building, capping another day of protests, many of them violent, across the Twin Cities.

The police station on E. Lake Street has been the epicenter of protests this week for people demanding justice after the death of George Floyd, who died Monday when a Minneapolis police officer set his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes.

Nearby, Minnehaha Lake Wine & Spirits, the target of looters the night before, also was set ablaze. As flames leapt, sharp explosions sounded as people threw bottles filled with accelerants or fired bullets into the fires….

On St. Paul’s East Side, vandals broke into Cub Foods and its liquor store at the Sun Ray Shopping Center. Police had shut down the mall by about 3:30 p.m., but even as officers filled the parking lot in front, people were driving in the back and grabbing boxes of bottles from the liquor store.

Roseville police Lt. Erika Scheider said they received reports of looting at Rosedale Center, Target, Walmart, Cub Foods, Best Buy, Pawn America and two cell phone stores.

“We responded to a number of looting calls throughout the city. Rosedale had a large group that was able to breach the doors and get inside,” Scheider said.

As I mentioned yesterday, I went to junior high and high school just a few blocks away from the Minnehaha liquor store. But the Rosedale Mall was where my family did most of our Christmas shopping, it’s where my father bought me the Intellivision that got me into video games, it was the home of the B. Dalton’s bookstore where I picked up most of my books before the Barnes & Noble opened in Har Mar, and my first real job was at the Rosedale Dayton’s.

And Rosedale is nowhere near the focus of the unrest at Minnehaha and Lake Street, it’s across the Mississippi River and at least a 15-minute drive up 35W even when there isn’t traffic. Roseville, the city in which Rosedale is situated, is an inner-ring suburb of St. Paul, but it still isn’t particularly vibrant or even very diverse. So, this suggests that the joggers and other violent opportunists are branching out and actively looking for places to loot.

UPDATE: If it’s this bad in St. Paul, how much damage has been done in Minneapolis?

Across the Mississippi River in St. Paul, looting, fire and vandals had damaged about 170 buildings by night’s end, police said.

The Mayor of Minneapolis, who was parachuted in from the East Coast with the objective of becoming a future Senator, is making it very clear whose side he is on.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says last night’s violent protests are a reflection of the reality the black community has faced and 400 years of inequality. He says to ignore it would be to ignore the “values we all claim to have.”

The Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, gave the passionate speech that he needed to deliver to the hurt and angry black community in his city. He is telling them, their feelings are “not only understandable, they are right.”

It should be amusing to see him attempt to dance his way out of responsibility for the arson of which he was among the chief architects. And the hurt and angry jogger community is so understandable, and so right, that the Mayor has now asked for the Minnesota National Guard to assist them in their time of mourning.
