This is so ridiculous, because the very first of the large scale operations in Los Angeles led to the widely publicized, burning and destruction of multiple police vehicles!
Meanwhile, the most “violent” thing to happen in Minneapolis *done by protesters* was a car got broken into late at night.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!
It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.
