The above video is raw footage from independent journalists “Blazing Press”, the footage must be seen to be believed, the protests have escalated into full fledged riots
Social media accounts, and local news accounts are pouring in as a second night of protests and riots break out in Minneapolis. Looting, tear gas, fires, standoffs with police and these protests are now spreading to Los Angeles, as the result of a brutal death of George Floyd by police officer officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin and 4 other officers were fired. The officer was caught on video as he pressed his legs against the neck of a handcuffed black man who complained that he could not breathe and died in police custody. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey belives the officer should be charged but in the meantime has indrectly encouraged the protests, which are by many accounts, becoming intense.
