The ignorance in Minneapolis is insane these days for real.

[jrozay]

This will never end until the Mayor and city council is removed. Unbelievable!

[sayulitalyfe]

Clean up the streets from these lawlessness

[woodwaker]

Finally the city is doing its job, or at least saying they will. A well run city would never have let this happen and stay out of control. Now it is like telling a two year old they must follow instructions, will not go well

[justinkelch]

Come on arrest them its a crime to block a public roadway or impede the flow of traffic... even my ten year old knows not to play in the street "come one man" in the words of Biden....

Some politicians are all talk. Give me a reason why to listen to a mayor who can’t help police find the shooters of three beautiful non armed children whose lives were taken away too soon. While these bused in adults play block the street from local tax payers the mayor forgets about three innocent children who can no longer play anywhere in Minneapolis.

Next thing we will be asking convience store robbers when we can return to the store.

[NicoleMichelChannel]

You know that this is going to create more problems. When they aren’t peaceful it will then be the cops fault for enforcing the law. It’s a shame all around.

[danb]

And the Mayor and city council are still in office...
is getting comical!!

[jefffeudner]

Warthogs raining overhead . Offer This Screwup and get the mini gun.

Why is the audio cut off after 1:19???

[GabeVeasey]

I wish people would just grow up and stop these violent protests. I am scared to even visit the Twin Cities because of these crazy people.

[Abmer.A]

I wouldn't open anything. Them Evil Lawless people still out there.

[blaebrobinson]

The mayor should pay for more reforms to unchecked police violence otherwise this will keep happening.

All the businesses needs to go underground and stop paying taxes to the city. If all business do this the mayor and the city councils will reconsiders because money talks and bullshits walks. Close your business and stop paying taxes and start yardsaling from home. This is the only way to beat the system that beat the businesses down. Without your tax money the city cannot pay housing for those people on Section 8 and will reduces the benefits their getting then it will force changes since votes and complaints won't change shit on how these leaders work. They should serve the public not their own pockets and pandering the poor to farther their agenda. This is what happened in NYC. Big businesses start to move their offices across the river where policing still going on. Minnesotan need to start doing what New Yorker does. They move out from the city in droves and drive housing prices in the suburb which in turn creates better paying jobs and revamping a dying town that before went overlook. All because they want to go away from city violences and bad government management.

Who cares, as for me and my family we will NEVER VISIT Minnesota! 🇺🇸
