BLM militants smashed police cars, assaulted police officers, vandalized police stations, and looted local businesses in Minneapolis on Sunday night. Video footage shows the pillagers ransacking shoe stores, auto parts retailers, pharmacies, dollar stores, and even pizza restaurants. As we have learned in recent months, no ointment can numb the pain of systemic racism quite like an armful of stolen merchandise.
The thing that caused the latest round of rioting is, as always, the depravity and moral degeneracy of the rioters themselves. But the ostensible excuse for the chaos is the death of a man named Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by Brooklyn Center Police during a traffic stop earlier in the afternoon. Not many details were available about the incident, and body cam footage had not been released, when the riots began. The details never matter to the rioters. BLM has its narrative, which is always the same narrative, and is adjusted only to include the few sketchy and superficial details.
