No one is happy about the situation in Minnesota. And yes, the last thing we need is stirring the pot of division with a 50-year-old racist trope, but hold up. Racist Trump tweeted - 'When the looting starts, the shooting starts.' Perhaps he wasn't talking about the police shooting protesters, looters, or 'slum hoodlums'. The police in Minnesota ran away and hid. (That's another issue)
FACT CHECK - Wasn't a man shot and killed attempting to loot a store 2 days ago in Minnesota?
"DOJ announces probe of George Floyd death after overnight protests end with 1 dead, 4 others shot." Minneapolis has seen a lot of looting and unfortunately some shooting in the last few days. Pointing that out is racist? Pointing that out is 'glorifying violence'? Pointing that out violates the 1st Amendment? SMH
