2019 Minneapolis riots.[1] Democrat presidential contender Amy Klobuchar called it "the Democrats' fired-up base."[2][3]

Minneapolis is the largest city in the state of Minnesota. Alongside the state capitol, St. Paul, they are known as the Twin Cities.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show took place in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis had previously been named by Forbes Magazine one of the top 5 cleanest cities in the world.[4]

In sports, Minneapolis is the home of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, the MLB's Minnesota Twins, and the NFL's Minnesota Vikings.

After 63 years of virtually uninterrupted Democrat mayors, one of whom became Vice President during the Civil Rights movement, the Democratic veto-proof city council finally admitted to the systemic racism of the Minneapolis Police Department. Minneapolis is known to have one of the most institutionally racist police departments in the United States.[5]

Socialism

In October 2019 Trump supporters were violently attacked by DFLers outside of a Donald Trump rally at the Target Center in Minneapolis.[6] It was later revealed that, thanks to the use of facial recognition software to identify them, Ilhan Omar and her boyfriend Tim Mynett, both hiding their faces with masks, were identified among those in the crowd involved in the anti-Trump riot outside the arena.[7] Antifa assaults a woman in an unprovoked attack after Trump Minneapolis Rally.[8]

2020 Socialist uprising

The leftist riots were triggered by the death of a Black man who was pinned to the ground in an allegedly "non-lethal" choke hold approved by the city's Democratic administration.[9] The neck hold used by the Minneapolis cop was approved by the city's Democrat administration.[10] According to the Minneapolis Police Policy Manual, the restraint used was a "Non-deadly force option" and training is given to officers on the maneuver. [11] Minneapolis has not elected a Republican mayor since 1957;[12] all police chiefs entrusted with overseeing police training, conduct, and community relations in six decades have been appointed by Democrat mayors, with the approval of a Democrat majority city council, and elected by Democrat voters.

As buildings burned behind him, Ali Velshi of MSNBC reported with a straight face that leftist "protests" were "not generally speaking unruly."[13]

White Antifa liberals were identified as smashing windows at an Autozone car parts store and Wendy's restaurant where the violence originated.[14][15] Jacobin magazine, described as "the closest thing to a flagship publication of the DSA left",[16] asked,

"Should we care about the looting of stores like Target and Autozone? ...Should we participate in this ritual condemnation even though our media consistently treats identical acts of property destruction by sports fans as simply revelry and exuberance, and corporate looting of working-class communities as business as usual? No.... until working people of all races unite against capitalists and their repressive apparatus, it is a good thing that bosses, government officials, and the police who protect them are sometimes reminded that black lives matter through a little proletarian fury."[17]

Fires and violence spread to St. Paul, Minnesota and nationwide from the burning of the Autozone store, Target, and Wendy's. Both the Minneapolis and St. Paul mayors identified the vast majority of arrests of leftwing rioters the first night were from out of state;[18] crossing state lines to incite riot is a federal offense.

Minnesota Attorney General and former DNC vice chair Keith Ellison is a proponent of Antifa and political violence[19] who's had a long-running dispute with the Minneapolis police.[20] According to reports,

the crowd that had gathered outside the police precinct was, for the most part, peaceful. White members of Antifa, however, began to attempt to do what they do and begin escalating the situation with violence.

Before it got anywhere, a black man spoke up and addressed the crowd.

He assured people that they aren’t trying to shut down anyone’s speech, but they weren’t going to allow anyone to start getting violent, understanding that if that started, the black members of the crowd would get the bulk of the response.

“We’re going to keep our social distance, and we’re not going to allow somebody in the crowd to throw some bulls**t and then we feel the bulk of that,” said the man. “We’re not allowing that no more. That’s the reality of what we’re dealing with right now.”[21]

Before the night was over, violent DFLers burnt down the Minneapolis 3rd precinct police station. Showing no regard for life or property. The mayor politely asked rioters to wear masks and practice social distancing.[22] Minneapolis DFL mayor Jacob Frey still did not request National Guard assistance.[23] DFL governor Tim Walz peddled a curious conspiracy theory that international drug cartels and white supremacists were behind the violence.[24] St. Paul, Minnesota mayor Melvin Carter said that all "protesters" who were arrested the first night in his city were from out of state.[25] Mike Griffin, a longtime political activist from Minneapolis, told The New York Times there were people he never witnessed before demonstrating, including “well-dressed young white men in expensive boots carrying hammers and talking about torching buildings.”

“I know protests, I’ve been doing it for 20 years. People not affiliated with the protests are creating havoc on the streets.”[26]

The Minneapolis Police department warned of “incendiary materials and accelerants” such as water bottles filled with gasoline found hidden in bushes and neighborhoods.[27] Minneapolis City Council Democrats considered disbanding the police department. One councilman said the entire council had been discussing the proposal “to some degree”:

“Several of us on the council are working on finding out what it would take to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and start fresh with a community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity.”[28]

Initial reports estimated Democrats destroyed 220 buildings and 500 businesses, mostly in minority neighborhoods, and $55 million in damages. The Star Tribune reported

Minneapolis City Council members on Tuesday received an update from the city’s Community Planning & Economic Development department that estimated at least 220 buildings had been damaged, resulting in a minimum of $55 million in costs, though the city was “not yet ready to produce a credible estimate” of the losses.[29]

Defund the police

Raheem Kassam and Gatewaypundit exposed Black Lives Matter as a money laundering scheme for the Democratic National Committee.[30] On the BLM homepage, which features a “Defund The Police” petition front and center, if a user chooses to donate, they’re rerouted to a site hosted by ActBlue, the DNC's official payment portal.[31] ActBlue claims to be tax exempt organization and all donations to it are tax-deductable. The terms and conditions also link to ActBlue and mention “Campaign Finance Laws”.[32] Joe Biden is a top beneficiary of the ActBlue’s fundraising efforts.[33]

ActBlue contributions comprise 99.64 percent of all funds raised for the “Biden for President” entity and the total is nearly 773 times greater than the group with the second-highest donation sum. As of May 21, 2020, the organization has donated $119,253,857 to the “Biden for President” effort.[34]

The Democrat-controlled Minneapolis City Council told citizens to be ready to give up wallets and cell phones to criminals.[35]
