Angry demonstrations flared across the U.S over the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white police officer kneeled on his neck.
In New York protesters clashed with police and in Minneapolis the police department building was set on fire to.
Late Thursday, President Donald Trump blasted the “total lack of leadership” in Minneapolis. “Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” he said on Twitter.
Protests first erupted Tuesday, a day after Floyd's death in a confrontation with police captured on widely seen citizen video. On the video, Floyd can be seen pleading as Officer Derek Chauvin presses his knee against him. As minutes pass, Floyd slowly stops talking and moving......

They've been saying the ruckus has spread across the country so long it's starting to happen. This looks pretty minor, thank Zoroaster, but the police seem mostly passive. What's the solution?

There was a steady stream of military vehicles headed north on I-95 in Springfield VA, at the time.
DC will burn again.

I lived in Chicago when King was killed. When the news hit, they cancelled leaves for all guards at Cook County Jail since most of the population at the jail was black.
One guard, since he had a good job he was able to get a mortgage on a 4- flat. He lived on 2nd floor.
He opened the door to go to work and there was a black guy standing on the landing below. He was ready to light a Molotov Cocktail.
The black guard said to him, "Whatchoo think you doing?"
The black guy said, "I'll show whitey. I'm gonna burn down this building."
The guard pulled his pistol and killed that guy right where he was standing.
My friend, who was also a guard at the jail asked, "How are you going to explain that?"
The black guard said, "When they come along and pick him up its just another dead nigger."
The good blacks call the bad blacks niggers too. :-/
