As Ambrose Bierce so eloquently wrote in the Devils Dictionary: "RIOT, n. A popular entertainment given to the military by innocent bystanders."
Note: I updated this statement in the title to reflect modern times by replacing the word military with police.
Governor Walz: Yeah, well, ugh, the unconfirmed reports, and again we're trying to get that, but we got intel from all of the different agencies, of course, this is where the federal government helps with all of this. I can't confirm on this. My suspicions and what I see, yes.
They're pretty clever blending with all the Black Lives Matter folks!
However, Arrests Records Show Majority from Minneapolis
From KARE11.com (Minnesota TV station)
A review of all the arrests made by Minneapolis-based police agencies for rioting, unlawful assembly and burglary-related crimes from Friday to Saturday tells a different story.
KARE 11 found that of 36 cases, about 86 percent of those arrested listed Minnesota as their address.
The data, taken from the Hennepin County Jail's roster, shows that nearly all of the people arrested in likely connection to the riots live in Minneapolis or the metro area. The five cases from outside Minnesota were of people listed as living in Missouri, Florida, Arkansas, Michigan and Illinois.

The cops asserted their power as the mob pounded on the windows and charged right through the violent mob sending people flying like rag dolls.

Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, New York, allegedly tossed the makeshift explosive into the marked police vehicle parked at Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn around 1:12 a.m, as a night of destructive protests over the killing of George Floyd winded down, federal prosecutors said.
The bottle shattered two of the vehicle's windows as four cops sat inside — but the gas inside did not ignite, the feds said in a criminal complaint released early Sunday.
The NYPD initially pressed for attempted-murder charges against the demonstrator — but federal prosecutors have now taken over the case and assumed custody.
KOMO News's Jonathan Choe was reporting live from the street, calling the scene “absolutely disgusting” up surveying the carnage of shattered windows of stores such as Banana Republic, Urban Outfitters, Madewell, and others, when one of the rioters start harassing him and his photog, vandalizing the camera in the process. All the while some other dude is standing there drinking a Corona right out on the sidewalk. People started breaking into jewelry stores while cars burned right next to them. “NO POLICE IN SIGHT RIGHT NOW” shouted a concerned Choe.

Starbucks has gone to great lengths over the years to pander to radical left-wing organizations.
But it still didn't spare them from the very monsters they created.

Hundreds took to the streets of Utah's capital. They flip over a cop car and set it on fire.
Good things can happen when you're dealing with actual protesters who are hurt over the death of George Floyd and who want to see justice…you can reason with them, talk to them, empathize.
But you can't do that with this violent, angry mob of communist ANTIFA terrorists who are trying to destroy our country with rage, hate, violence, and mayhem.
Thankfully, the folks in Flint, Michigan were actual protesters, so when the Sheriff took off his riot gear and told them he loved them and hugged them, he wasn't dragged through the streets like a ragdoll, like what happened to police in Chicago.
