    Police fatally shoot man, 20, in suburban Minneapolis, sparking protests

    The Washington Post, April 11, 2021

    Police said the shooting happened just before 2 p.m., when an officer stopped a car on a traffic violation and found the driver had an outstanding warrant. As police tried to arrest him, he got back into the car and an officer fired at him, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said in a news release.

    The man drove for several blocks before striking another vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

    The National Guard was deployed in Minneapolis as hundreds of people looted and rioted into the early hours Monday after a black man was shot dead by police just 10 miles from where George Floyd died.

    Have you ever heard of whites looting and burning stores because a white criminal was killed by the police at the scene of his most recent crime/ I have not either. Orientals do not behave that way. Neither do Hispanics.

    I am a registered Democrat who voted for Joe Biden. This kind of thing will result in a Republican backlash, like it did during the late 1960's.

    Race is the liberals' weakest issue. It is the issue where liberal reforms have failed, creating the belief that liberals, the Democrat Party, and the government cannot do anything right.

    Liberals are hypocritical about race. They praise school integration, but they send their children to schools with hardly any blacks in them. These are frequently private schools. Liberals praise open housing, but they live in neighborhoods where home prices keep out blacks. White working class people cannot afford to do that, so they pay the price for liberal ideals, a price liberals manage to avoid paying.

    I don't think you need to worry about a Republican backlash. The country burned all last summer and although the polling was bad on it, the ballots say that it didn't really hurt the Democrats that much. Why would another round of urban destruction change that?

    If democrats act like this in public these days... This is astonishing. Black racism in all its glory. Democrats must be so proud of their creation.
