#1 Floyd had been sentenced to five years in prison in 2009 for aggravated assault stemming from a robbery where Floyd entered a woman’s home, pointed a gun at her stomach and searched the home for drugs and money, according to court records

Model citizen he was. I'm glad the rap sheet was published.

#2 Cops in Minn can't even protect their own precinct houses.

Remember, they have no duty to protect you, but you still have a duty to pay for their pensions.

#3 Just wonder how many new CV19 cases will be discovered among the rioters.

#8 The 46-year-old Floyd died as police arrested him

Do we know the actual cause of death? Gonna be hard to pin this one on the virus.

#12 The unrest ravaged several blocks in the Longfellow neighborhood

Longfellow would be one of the so described Fireside Poets.

#13 After recent outbreaks of fascism across the US, my sympathy for police has gone from low to zero. Looting and rioting is stupid, but outright revolt... perhaps would not be a bad idea.

#18 Personally, I say send in the troops and restore order. Or if the mayor is that much of a jerk, end any and all fed assistance to the area

In 6 months to a year, expect local news stories on companies not rebuilding stores, a lack of jobs, and high prices. Connecting all these dots will be left as an exercise for the reader.
