Yeah sorry you would have to have your head in the sand to not realize there is still systemic racism against indigenous people in Canada( or you just don’t care which is even worse)

The videos from today and tonight are really amazing. The police have pretty much lost all control of the situation. I figure it won't be long until more resources are called in like the Army or the National Guard or whatever.

There are a whole ####load of Twitter threads blowing up showing that police officer “agent provocateurs” were the ones who kicked off the vandalism/arson/rioting or what have you.

There are videos and pictures and one of the cops has allegedly been identified by friends and his ex wife. His pictures are all over the place right now.

Can we get a link or a tip to search for...

I'm watching them burn the 3rd precinct right now.

Why would they do that? They want a riot? Make the cops look like victims?

Here's the video of the guy smashing windows at Autozone, clearly not with the normal group of protestors.

https://twitter.com/user/status/1266132570980454400

And then info/screenshots about the man who is allegedly in that video.

https://twitter.com/user/status/1266169655854542849

If this is the man, he was involved in another shooting that resulted in a black man's death.

The precinct that employed the cop has been over run by protesters I read they were evacuating police by chopper from the roof it is now completely engulfed in flames

MSNBC had someone on their program tonight, I didn't catch his name as I was only half paying attention, who said that apparently the officer involved in the death has 18 prior complaints and has been involved in three police shootings. If true, it sure sounds like a problem has existed for a long time and should have been addressed earlier.

I am beginning to wonder if an all out massacre happens once the military shows up. I hope not, but this looks like a disaster in the making.

Meanwhile, if they would have just arrested the officers involved, even if it was only the one kneeling on Floyd's neck, not even those that stood and watched, this likely doesn't happen. They would rather let their precincts and city burn than hold these men accountable. Any civilian doing this, with this much evidence, would at the very least be brought in for questioning.
