Having watched this looting and rioting I sincerely wonder if the police wanted it to happen. The first night of looting it was chaotic, but the police showed up and instantly everyone left. There was no confrontation. This wasn't like the LA riots in the 90s, there really was no violence against people. Then the next nights the police didn't show up. The first time I saw police was when neighbors had acquired their own firehose and were trying to put out a fire, at which time the police drove by and shot canisters at us. The Minneapolis police specifically turned down firefighting assistance from the suburbs even as the fires burned for hours after the streets were empty. The MPD despises Minneapolis and wanted the city to suffer. It was Derek Chauvin writ large.
