Media I've seen hasn't shown any rioting..Has a single one from that arrested list you posted been ID'ed as a white nationalist?
https://www.courthousenews.com/minnesot ... ist-groups
St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said most of the arrests made last night were of people from out of state and while “there’s a group of folks that are sad and mourning,” he said “there seems to be another group that are using Mr. Floyd’s death as a cover to create havoc.”

Department of Safety Commissioner John Harrington said they are contact-tracing the arrested and added that an investigation is underway about white nationalist groups posting online to encourage their members to use the protests as a cover to create chaos.

He said some of the 40 arrests made in the Twin Cities Friday night were of people linked to white supremacist groups and organized crime.
Ok, so only 99%+ of the rioters are the democrat base.
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..

So you're saying white supremacists are Republicans? Thanks for the confirmation.

So FNC crew attacked by angry leftists last night in DC.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/fox-news-cre ... hite-house

Tonight I see the FNC reporters on scene (in DC and NYC at least) (and presumably cameraman) with nothing IDing them as FNC crew. The microphones they are using are black, non descript.

From Bring Me The News

It seems the chatter about plateless cars driving around the Minneapolis riots — allegedly there to instigate violence — has been confirmed.

Reports of vehicles without license plates have been circulating for days, raising concerns about "outside instigators" as well as rumors of white supremacists and other bad-faith actors intent on causing trouble:

What message are they sending when they burn and loot their own fucking neighborhoods? That they’re fucking retarded?

Brilliant.
So a few bad seeds can ruin and tarnish the reputation of the whole?

Good thing there aren’t any bad seeds wearing a badge right now or else America would think cops are trash.
Don't judge all protestors by the few thousand who loot, pillage, destroy, and burn buildings to the ground.

Everyone was warned in Minnesota, the protest was over at 8pm, and that they were considered instigators if they were out past curfew.

They were on a porch, on their own property, with an entire plot of private land between them and the cops.

There was ZERO reason to shoot a gas canister at them, besides a power-trip fantasy the cops can jerk off to later that night. While not as serious as murder, cops acting as extrajudicial arbiters is the reason black people (and minorities) are completely fed up.

All the cops involved should be immediately fired and fully prosecuted for assault.

Of course this constant highlight of looting is a great right-wing tactic to avoid the actual issue at hand and demonize those who fight for equality. They also avoid talking about the cops instigating violence, or the protestors who clean, help fix damage, and donate to those affected.
So where’s the justice for the cops that were brutally beat last night? My sister is taking care of the one in Charleston. Beaten for being a cop. That’s not how you get progress.

That’s how you get anarchy and confirm the suspicions of people that are already upset over the violence.

My property is my home. If I'm on my land, I'm inside my home.

Don't excuse the overreaction of cops in this thing. Easily could have walked on and called it a day, but they decided that shooting a canister at a young woman sitting on her own porch was the "correct" form of action.

And the "good" cops look the other way.

This is why the protests are happening.

Stop excusing injustice.
Not according to the civic leaders at 1.5 hour presser yesterday, all Democrats. Governor, Mayors, Senators, black leaders, Muslim leaders, Native American Leaders, Hispanic leaders, Asian leaders, Amy Klobuchar, Philandro Castillas Uncle, etc. All said stay in your home last night, or you are against us.

Did they say your home doesn't include your property? Did they say "hey cops, shoot at those people not explicitly inside a physical structure!" Last time I checked my land is considered inside my home. Could there be any other way to diffuse the situation (which wasn't even an actual situation) instead of attacking them?

Don't lick the boots of authority Gil, you're better than that.

It was a bunch of young people watching from their own porch, not ISIS shooting rocket launchers at them.

Minneapolis was stay in your home. They were out for blood last night, and everyone here knew it. No messing around after 8pm, and several night of damage to the community. Nearly 200 businesses trashed or burned. Many in the black and poor communities. No place to buy groceries and other needs in those areas.

Well then, I hope the protests continue in Minneapolis and the rest of the country.

If these are the excuses for people getting attacked while sitting on their own property, it's only more of a reason to ramp up protests.

Many people in the area are very afraid of the instigators, that have nothing to do with George Floyd

Riot Aftermath Link

He spoke with Wilford at a shopping plaza as neighbors worked to clean up after looters. Wilford said she fears she will have nowhere to get her essentials in the midst of damage to her neighborhood as well as the shutdown of Metro Transit.

Wilford said what happened to George Floyd was tragic, but "he is in a better place than we are."
