    They have “no choice”, apparently, according to this guy:

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ransacked-tar/

    “Cardi B says there was “no choice” but arson, looting, and violence by Minnesotans who are upset over the death of George Floyd.

    The rapper behind “Invasion of Privacy” made the comments as arsonists burned an AutoZone, ransacked a Target and liquor store, and resorted to violence over Monday’s viral footage of Mr. Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, with a white police officer kneeling on his neck.

    “They looting in Minnesota and as much as I don’t like this type of violence it is what it is,” the rapper told nearly 12 million Twitter followers. “Too much peaceful marches, too much trending hashtags and NO SOLUTIONS! The people are left with NO CHOICE.”

    HQ'ed in Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Probably the single largest retailer/company with a large presence HQ'ed in that area.

    “Looting ain’t violent,” responded a user identified as DreemzC. “White people better be glad folk don’t bomb their homes and churches.”
    Yea...that's a good way to win friends and influence people. And also to help race relations in the U.S...

    The email was sent to us be another federal LE agency.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    I was at USC when the LA Watt's riot started. Wow. Googling 60's riots and reading this stuff will amaze. During this time handguns were definitely difficult to find. Vietnam contributed to this too. Note that in today's climate looters are referred to as protesters.

    In jails it is not uncommon for a supervisor to videotape handling non compliant inmates who are also violent. If a population subset is over represented in at risk categories that include criminal history, violent behavior, and such, then some of those arrested might be extremely difficult to process. Hence aggressive restraints might be used. I predict that police procedures will change to adjust accordingly. At the same time posturing will increase. Foot chases will cease. Traffic offense citations will decrease. Turning a blind eye to offenses will be more common.

    There are looters active in the shopping district less than a mile from from me; Target superstore, Cub Foods, Dollar Store, TJ Maxx, several smaller stores along University Ave in the Midway District, a Foot Locker just looted, also a shopping center in east St Paul near the 3M Campus. Reports that light rail between capitol & Minneapolis is shut down.
    Oy.

    These folks are too young to remember the 1967 riots. Even the one in (predominantly black) North Minneapolis that their parents or grandparents went through. That area, just like Newark, Watts, and Detroit, was never rebuilt, and never recovered.
    They’re looting Footlocker and a liquor store right now.

    It's credible and being investigated in multiple jurisdictions, let's leave it at that.

    Got it. Thank you both, @BehindBlueI's @5pins.

    Right now it appears the team protecting the SPPD Western District Headquarters are trying to head off a possible assault.
