LOOTERS ransack shops as Minneapolis descends into chaos after police killing of black man (VIDEOS)
Gangs of looters have cleared out a number of shops in Minneapolis as hectic protests over a police killing of an unarmed black man escalate into riots, with violent clashes erupting between demonstrators and law enforcement.
The city descended into looting and vandalism on Wednesday following a large protest the day prior over the police killing of George Floyd, with videos shared to social media showing rioters breaking into a Target store, smashing windows and grabbing up merchandise.
Because of course, a black man was killed by the police (a crime, which should be punished very severely) seems inexorably to lead to looting, which -- what? evens out the balance of wrong? why... https://t.co/1Q9tQnPLFy

A heated protest continued outside the Minnesota Police Department’s 3rd precinct headquarters, where demonstrators were seen breaking windows.
Tuesday’s action also saw protesters gather outside the building, facing thick clouds of police tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets – though the law enforcement presence in the area appears to have been scaled back compared to the previous day.
