I thought I’d make a list of cities reported as having massive protests.
1. Minneapolis, Minnesota
2. St. Paul, Minnesota
3. Atlanta, Georgia
4. NYC, New York
5. Los Angeles , California
6. San Jose, California
7. Denver, Colorado
8. Dallas, Texas
9. Louisville, Kentucky
10. Washington DC
11. Houston, Texas
12. Sacramento, California
13. Des Moines, Iowa
14. Las Vegas, Nevada
15. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
16. Bakersfield, California
17. Omaha, Nebraska
18. Detroit, Michigan
19. Boston, Massachusetts
Any others?

Maybe the title should be changed to US Riots 2020 (Response to George Floyd)

The CNN reporter in Minneapolis said that the police, State police and National Guard had formed a front tonight but they backed down to the protesters.

Crazy, if you don't put a caption on that video, you can't tell if it's US or Hong Kong...

People are just walking into stores and grabbing stuff. No police anywhere.

Freeman makes a good point here about his office's successful prosecution of a Minneapolis police officer in the killing of Justine Damond, which few know about because she was white. He was convicted of third-degree murder, and they know what it takes to get it done. If there's anybody in the country who will successfully try this case it damn well might be these guys.

What happened to Al Franken? What a mess his interview was. Time to give up on his hopes for a comeback.

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question. Where are you seeing/reading/hearing this?

It's a makeshift gate in front of the real barrier, and they don't go any further than taking the gate piece and throwing it away. Saying "breached" is a stretch.

Thank you. I can't imagine someone crashing the White House gate without a serious response. I had CNN on in the background and they never mentioned it. I'm not surprised word of mouth was a little off.
