    Don't misrepresent me. You are clutching your white hat / black hat thing, desperately trying to find the pigeonhole. That's not what I am doing and it's not what this is about.

    It is important to realize that burning a cop station isn't justice and the cop station wasn't justice, at the same time. This is real human beings reacting to their situation, not mediated through those simplistic narratives, which are applied afterwards to soothe the winner. This is neither bad nor good, but it is real. And what, in your comfortable middle class life, have you ever experienced that was real?

    It's not good or bad. You have to wrap your head around that or you will just be watching a puppet show.

    This is how things happen. It's not the scripted television we've been told was history ever since kindergarten. It's not operating on the critical axis, it's life.

        Can't help but think they've offered up the building as a sacrifice.

            Nothing about any of this is good. Nothing. Maybe 5 years from now we can say that but everyone involved in all of this is some level of wrong.

                That is what the guy on CNN is basically saying. They gave up the building to prevent things getting worse. That is why fireworks are being shot off with no retalliation.

                South Minneapolis is D-E-D.

                  I'll give a pass to the officers that did nothing but hold the line during the protest, and the peaceful protesters who PLEADED with others to keep it peaceful.

                  Obviously, efforts made in vain.

                    That's very smart and I want to meet the person who suggested it. If they burn the police station (as they are trying to do, not very competently) they will have ritually extracted their vengeance and that should dissipate most of the energy.

                    I'm not sure the cops are that smart, but even if they luck into it, good. The protesters will get closure right about the moment that the only way to further escalate (by either side) would be taking lives. The resistance has a story to tell and a landmark; the authorities can gradually restore order over the next few days.

                    The way you end a riot is to make it not exciting for the hangers on anymore. Once they go home the people who are left will either be peaceful and dedicated or crazy and just looking for mayhem. The former will police themselves, the latter will be easy to sweep up (and TBH the community won't mind).

                        Hwy 5 Eastbound is closed off by the airport...probably precautionary.

                          I thought they were already there. However, I'm now wondering if a bigger entity is getting geared up to be called in, assuming this continues into the weekend....

                            Target says they’re closed until further notice. I assume this crap goes on through weekend

                                I have the same assumption, but I'm also an optimist, who happens to be a realist. It really sucks to have those certain traits.
