Here we go again with BLM riots

It happened again in Minneapolis, Minn., and in the middle of a trial of a white policeman accused of killing a black man resisting arrest by placing his knee on the man’s neck. The timing of the most recent event involving a white police officer and a black man couldn’t be worse.
Sunday a black man physically resisting arrest in a traffic stop was fatally shot in Brooklyn Center by a white female police officer who reportedly mistook her service pistol for a taser, according to the Brooklyn Center police chief. Body camera footage of the confrontation seems to validate that claim.
Black Lives Matter anarchists had already gathered and  proceeded to riot for the two nights following the Sunday shooting event. They could be seen in video footage actively seeking out white people to pull out of cars and physically assault. These BLM rioters have got to be rounded up, arrested and prosecuted for looting, burning and destroying community businesses.
The FBI was diligent in identifying people who illegally entered and damaged parts of the U.S. Capitol building Jan. 6. If they put forth the same effort to identify and charge these BLM anarchists we wouldn’t be experiencing this constant rioting and destruction of our major American cities. BLM is not interested in waiting for due process.
Insisting on due process for the officer involved in the shooting Sunday ended the job of Brooklyn Center city manager Curt Boganey who defied the order of Mayor Mike Elliott to fire the officer. So Elliott fired the city manager and took over his duties. The city council voted to fire Boganey, a long-time city employee, and voted to give the mayor command authority over the city’s police department.
Elliott said he “fully supported releasing the officer of her duties.” Boganey disagreed with the mayor and said, “All employees are entitled to due process and after that due process, discipline will be determined.” It seems the city manager had the right idea and that the mayor jumped the gun in trying to appease BLM anarchists.
A city council member who voted to fire Boganey told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that she did so out of fear of potential reprisals from protestors if she did not. She was quoted as saying, “He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly. I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level.”
So this is what we have come to in cities like Minneapolis when these events occur. If a city council member is afraid of what will happen to her if she does not bow to the will of anarchists, what can we expect from jurors in the trial of officer Derek Chauvin who is accused of killing George Floyd? At least Chauvin is getting a trial. The common thread in most of these police shootings of all races is that the suspect resisted arrest. If you are stopped by the police for any reason and physically attempt to resist arrest, nothing good is going to happen.
We don’t mean to defend either Chauvin or 26-year veteran Kim Potter for their actions, but the bottom line is that both victims put up physical resistance when encountered by police. This did not end well in either case.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright who was shot by Potter, has resigned. This most recent shooting could not have happened at a worse time. Minneapolis is a powder keg and the Wright shooting looks like it could be another spark to ignite it.
We should all pray for calmer heads to prevail.
