Dave just posted a video to youtube 30 mins long. He talks about the events that have happened recently and calls for nationwide street violence if racial injustice is not solved. He makes no indication as to what will solve it. Dave just lost 100% of my respect. Sad!

I don't think blacks burned cities down. I think Antifa started the riots and criminals burned cities down.
I'm from Minneapolis. The first store looted the first day of the protests was Minnehaha Fine Wine and Liquors. From what I saw, the first brick thrown at a window came from an a white Antifa noodle armed liberal. For an hour or two, it was just people running in and taking out alcohol and cigarettes. The fire came about an hour and a half later when there was nothing there. A bit after Minnehaha Fine Wine and Liquors was broken into, the Lake Street Target (which is across the street) was broken into. There were whites and blacks there initially. I didn't see it clearly but the first looters in, made a bee line for the pharmacy. That tells me it was a bunch of addicts taking advantage of an opportunity. It was about 15 minutes after that, that I saw whites and blacks stealing big ticket items. That was the same time that Minnehaha Fine Wines and Liquors started going up in flames.
The crowd wasn't majority black and it was still daylight when it started. The looters were majority black but the brick throwers seemed mostly white to me. By the time, a lot of the businesses were on fire, including the low income housing unit that was under construction, the crowd was majority black but there were still at least about a 30-50% non black representation on the streets.
My experience is that those who were watching the fires that first night were pretty well mixed. There were blacks and whites saying "this is too far" "This is too much". There were also blacks and whites running around thinking it was great and all excited about it. Many of them exclaimed, "we're living through history" "this is historic" "now we're going to have real change".
One thing almost every group commented on, is that there were buses somewhere and they were all wondering if the buses meant the National Guard were there. Some people also said the MPLS police communications were done and others said, that they were using the police frequency from Robbinsdale or Fridley.
Don't tell me what I saw. I know what I saw and it simply wasn't "blacks". That's overly simplistic and shows me that you weren't there. I was. I know what I saw. The protests were majority white, as was the clean up and the grocery drop off the day after. It wasn't until later when the demographics of the crowd changed but skinny white boys and excited white girls were there when the looting and fires started and they were happy about it and egging it on.
