The Trump administration has denied a request by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) for $16 million in federal aid to help rebuild widespread damage in Minneapolis caused by rioters protesting the death of George Floyd.

Late Friday, Walz spokesman Teddy Tschann confirmed that the July 2 federal aid request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was denied.

"The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support," said Tschann in a statement. "As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through."

Over 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism following Floyd's death on May 25 while in police custody. According to Walz, over $500 million in damages ensued.

Many small businesses and grocery stores, pharmacies and post offices were damaged during the unrest. In his letter to FEMA, Walz said what happened in the Twin Cities after Floyd’s death was the second most destructive incident of civil unrest in U.S. history, after the 1992 riots in Los Angeles.
The Walz administration conducted a preliminary damage assessment that found nearly $16 million of eligible damages related to fires. The federal funds would have been used to reimburse local governments for repairs and debris removal. -Star Tribune

They should review video tapes. Identify the rioter. Haul they to court and give them huge fines. Fine enough people and you will have your $16M in no time. No need for the rest of us to chip in for their unwillingness to stop this the moment it got out of hand. A dozen wood shampoos would have put this riot to bed early.

Most of the damage was done in neighborhoods that are home to those who did the damage.
Why should my tax money be used to fix the mess they made?
One might claim that non-resident outsiders came in and trashed, but then they'd have to admit to that fact, which they don't want to do.

You are running a BLM movement, and white anarchist butthole kids come roaming in and breaking up stuff, wouldn't it be a smart thing to run them off.? Very easily done, a few asswhippings and they get the message.
