I’ve never seen or felt anything like what Minneapolis feels like right now.
People who don’t deal with the police here directly have no clue what it’s like, this shyts been brewing since 2015
Haven’t slept, trying to avoid texts, avoiding social media because I know imma say some real foul shyt to people because I’m in the thick of this shyt with no means to vent
I frequent that target and that cub foods, live not far from the region.
Folks saying rioting “is not the answer”
please lay out a proper and realistic response. ..
When all other “peaceful methods” of calling for dialogue, reform and resolution have been exhausted.
When Philando Castile was killed and we got to see gotdamn play by play on fb live we marched around the city and people bytched and moaned online about how it wasn’t fair that traffic was being impacted and people were having long commutes.
“It’s not the way to cause disruption to people who had nothing to do with it!!!”
When Jamar Clark was killed it was “peaceful”
We sat and occupied Plymouth Ave for a few days eventually the police came tore down the barricades etc and moved people along. We had racist fukk faces trying to harm people who were peacefully assembling there
Yes there are opportunists doing what they do, find ANY catastrophe and if you will find vultures circling
there is a real fed up angsty energy amongst people here you could see it and feel it and it’s been present in the city for a very long time.
in 92 they didn’t have the boots on the ground reporting. We do in 2020. I’m posting this from the area. Not from the comfort of YouTube any of that shyt
Questioning why people are rioting is complaining about the water coming out of the sink when your well is rotten
George Floyd being killed in basically a gotdamn snuff film for the world to see is gonna bring out an irrational rage from people who are tired of seeing this shyt go unchecked and unpunished.
