(69 posts)This is about the stress of social injustice. By the way, on MSNBC they are saying that it is quite possible that outside instigators and/or anarchists and/or arsonists started the fires. Other wise the protest was peaceful during the day.
I can empathize with the anger and outrage of the citizens of this city. They pay the salary of cops who kill for no reason what so ever. When is it ever OK to kill someone? Crazy.
Which is worse? Death by a racist cop or death by coronavirus?

(14,489 posts)The Marketwatch article cited was published last night around midnight and that police building was just being set alight later in the morning.
Morning light will reveal the damage and from videos I've seen tonight, it probably will be extensive.

(15,200 posts)If it's from Minneapolis at all, it would have to be of something that happened earlier than the police station catching fire. Not only is the daylight wrong, as others have pointed out, but the article itself says "Published: May 28, 2020 at 11:56 p.m. ET".
The caption "around the 3rd Police Precinct", if accurate, could only mean in the general neighborhood of the 3rd Precinct.
