Looks like more of those white supremacists from out of town that the mayor and governor told us about.
For those that are unaware, rioting took place last night in Minneapolis' downtown business and retail district. This was not a result of what took place in Kenosha. Nope, this was the result of a completely false rumor that a black man who a suspect in a homicide in a parking ramp earlier in the day was shot in the head by police. Completely false. The man ate his own gun, in public, as police closed in on him. The incident was caught on surveillance cams:
*WARNING: This video contains graphic images* This evening, a murder suspect committed suicide as police approached them at 8th & Nicollet. No officer weapons were fired. This is a tragedy for our community that is still hurting. Our condolences go to the families of the victims.
@Ooh-Rah , can you help add a NSFW/Graphic button for the Twitter above? I searched for instructions on how do this but am obviously challenged and can no longer find them - can't even find the help forum anymore.
ETA: Disregard. MPD appears to have deleted the Tweet. Nonetheless, I would like to know how to add the spoiler button.

In the circled image select spoiler, then add whatever title you'd like. Once you do that, you'll see the coding appear in your text box, just insert your link or whatever you'd like in between the brackets.

More info of the rioters that were shot/killed in Kenosha:
The 3 shot (2 killed) in #Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot have been identified. Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was the first one killed. Video allegedly shows him chasing teen shooter & throwing something at him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender for a sex crime involving a minor. https://t.co/up1VgDyrgZ

^Shithead #1 was at the gas station minutes before, calling the milita geared up people that were protecting infrastructure "ni@#a", and yelling "point your gun at me"... He won the grand prize that night.
Not sure if everyone caught that video.

When my oldest son was younger, probably about 14, he got a little big for his pants. In front of the rest of his siblings he called me out and wanted to get a little sporty. So I followed through and smacked him down pretty hard. After that he knew where I stood. Credibility is everything.
^That's funny, I have to go home and swat my 15 y/o for disrespecting his mom while I'm gone.

@BlackSmokeRisinG here is the twitter link.
The NYT did a really good analysis of the incident from the many videos that have come out.

^Notice at the end of the last video on the page, the kid walks straight up to the police car to turn himself in and they ignore him. Then he backs up like the officer is pointing a gun at him or something.

Yeah, agree. Although I'm not 100% certain, but I think the video and confrontation you're referring to tool place the night before?
Nonetheless, careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

I think that this is a foundational, fundamental part of it: people have become so comfortable with running their mouths off on social media with no repercussions, they are actually surprised when there ARE repercussions in the real world. It's easy to be a woke cyber-bully from the confines of your computer screen.

Or, in at least two cases, very asleep.
Unrelated to the thread but we were just talking about this at work, fewer and fewer parents any more are willing to discipline their kids. Anecdotally there is a 45 year old mom that lets her 12 year old hit, curse at her, and say derogatory comments in public about her.
My mom is now 50, I have 12 inches of height on her and out weigh her by about 50 pounds, I still fear my mothers backhand or worse a shoe being thrown.

The changing social climate in the West around corporal discipline, along with the increased awareness of the very real legal risks to delivering any form of it in public, are probably the two biggest contributors to this change you're seeing in parenting behavior.
