You can protest all you want. Just don't block traffic and impede other's lives! But these idiot's are deliberately blocking the roads and attacking anyone who dares to travel on them. You'll get no sympathy from me.

You can thank the city clowncil and mayor for everything happening in Minneapolis

[michaelmcfeely]

For the taxes that are paid, I expect law and order. These roads should be cleared of protesters, without delay. This is one of the reasons I would not live or travel to any place that is governed by Democrats.

Protesters getting hit by cars. Hope the cars ok. I still can't get past these people protesting for criminals. While ignoring children being killed by stray bullets.

[skrimpjones]

Let's fight against the ones who protects us and do absolutely nothing about all the kids getting killed by stray bullets!
The level of stuoodity these days is kind blowing!

[giantslirpy]

Winston was killed because he shot at marshals. THAT'S WHY. Now, why did "Saint Winston" shoot a man who is now in a vegetative state? You know, the man whose family is now suing Winston's family?

Looks like that female jogger was just spreading love with her culture sprayer.

Don’t protest in the street. Don’t get run over by a car. 🤔

Murderapolis. The new Wild West. Uptown is now boarded-up town.

[nitromethane]

Let's all have a moment of silence for the grill and hood of that car

[chuckfinley]

Getting run over by a car - the driver's fault. Gets shot by a bullet - it's the gun's fault.

Minneapolis is the absolute comedy show that we have now come to love. I mean that City doesn't disappoint how's that defund the police s*** working for you now

[highbrass]

He gets extra points if the rioter was wearing sneakers.

[lyleanderson]

It's unfortunate bad policies lead to outcomes like this, perhaps it's time re-evaluate the leaders ability and determine if they understand the role given by the people of MN.

[AmusedChild]

Letting these idiots run wild in the streets is causing frustration for drivers just trying to go about their workday. The media is complicit in this chaos because it gives them headlines and clicks.

[Killso]

Ya know if you weren't blocking the road..

[gingersechelski]

Something tells me they left out the part that he ran into the crowd because they were threatening him with guns.

[thinkplease]

Celebrating criminals and their activities!

[runningbear]

I'm going to tell you protesters one thing you guys are very violent you scare a lot of these drivers so you are putting these drivers into these situations this is your own fault if you weren't so violent people wouldn't be so scared and they wouldn't take to these actions totally 100% your fault

[troubadour]

In a civilized country this would be considered a terrorist attack; but I guess in a civilized country we wouldn't have to worry about protesting relentless police violence against citizens.
