Minneapolis police in the news again

Little bit different here tonight, police backed up by Nat Guard. Every time a group of protesters bumps into them they scatter like cockroaches. 

[HeroHog]

Yup...

[Blakenzy]

Protestors got owned. They were literally herded like cattle. I think there might have been a border collie or two masterminding this

So they have vandalized the Lincoln Memorial now?

Also apparently several churches. Which, I saw yesterday that the Supreme Court denied churches the ability to hold services because social distancing and killing grandpa. I'm sure churches will be blamed for any new virus outbreaks after the riots and looting are over.

Looters getting free rein (or in current circumstances the often incorrectly used "free reign"), while innocent people are shot by soldiers with less than lethal weapons while standing on their own property minding their own business. These "protestors" are angry? I'm getting angry myself.

Maybe that's the point.  They (the police? or their bosses?) are trying to provoke a civil war.

They're doing a good job. Elderly white people seem to be popular targets.

Barr: It is Antifa.
Cops: It is Antifa.
Protestors: It is Antifa.
Antifa: It is us.
Blue checks: It is something else.

Nitpick:  SCOTUS upheld the law/order that limits the number of people who may attend a church service, or any other public gathering.  Church services are not banned.

InRangeTV just posted this. Said he actually made it 4 years ago but was waiting for a time to publish it where it wouldn't be seen as a response to current events but he's now given up on that.

They are tugging hard on a pin they think is attached to a grenade but it’s really a nuke that’s gonna cook them.

Hundreds of millions of guns, billions or trillions of rounds of ammunition...and all the owners are getting pissed as hell

Give the protesters 30 minutes to disperse, don't allow them to disperse, then arrest them.  I guess it's a lot easier than stopping the looters and arsons.

Yeah sorry, I should have said "normal services". Still, I'm aggravated about law-abiding citizens getting fined and jailed for not observing "six feet" (or paddle boarding with no one withing 1/4 mile) while the virus doesn't exist to the MSM and various local governments while this crap is going on.

If you stop the "protestors" that are already breaking the law, you stop the looters and the arsons, as well.

If the authorities have done this earlier in the week, most of the business owners who just saw their lives and dreams literally go up in smoke may have been saved.

Got sporty in Tulsa over the weekend. More fun expected.
Since I now work downtown Tulsa only a few blocks from where the party started my level of concern has ratcheted up a couple.of notches.  Time to reevaluate my SHTF contingency carry in the Jeep.
At least I'm working day shift now.

The NC National Guard has been activated for "protests" in Charlotte and Raleigh.  A state of emergency was declared for Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.  Fayetteville and Greensboro had some sporty "protests" as well.
So far there has not been any activity in this area, but it's likely to happen at some point.  We do have rather lefty college university in the city, so it would not surprise me to see something catalyze from there.
I'm armed pretty much all the time now, even in the house.

edited:  It's a university, not a college.

It's stuff like this that gives me hope for our country:

"Antifa dude gets grabbed by peaceful protesters and delivered to the police line"

ETA:

I'm seeing more video evidence of peaceful protesters confronting black-clad antifa supporters engaging in violence and/or graffiti.  As usual, it's the fringes of society that cause issues for the majority.  I won't post links to all of them here, it's easy to find.

What's with the Mandalorian dude at the end? 

[WLJ]

Great, now they're flipping out over someone shot and killed last night by a Nat Guardsman reportedly returning fire. Don't know at this point if the guy shot had anything to do with shooting at the police/NG but I don't think that matters to many anyway if it means they can use him as a martyr

More on the AR incident in Seattle:

People were calling the security guard "Special Forces" but he was a former Marine. He actually recovered both the stolen ARs, and video down the link shows that the looters were firing one of them before he took it from them.
