DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AT NIGHT

Minneapolis is STILL trying to recover. I am NOT blaming BLM. I see a LOT of out of state license plates and I think there are REICH Wing groups HERE still kicking up the violence to keep the heat on BLM, but it is still being investigated and each crime has to be solved before the whole picture emerges. AND we have our own citizens who have turned to crime during the pandemic as well.
