Trump tweets threat that 'looting' will lead to 'shooting.' Twitter put a warning label on it

As cable news networks carried images of fires and destructive protests in Minneapolis, the president tweeted at 12:53 a.m. ET: "these THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"

His phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," mirrors language used by a Miami police chief in the late 1960s in the wake of riots. Its use was immediately condemned by a wide array of individuals, from historians to members of rival political campaigns.

* White police officers who read the twitt may shoot blacks who are looting.

In Minneapolis, there extensive looting and burning. A police station was burnt

and a post office was destroyed. Individuals who were behind all of these

were terrorists from outside the state. The authorities suspects white

supremacist groups. They love Trump.

The country is shit. America got the honor of world number 1 victim of COVID19.
In Georgia, a black hiker was shot to death by two whites. A black man asked to a white

woman to get a leash on her dog in Central Park in New York and she screamed and called

the police " A black man is attacking....".

What started with peaceful protests, the riots are spreading across the country. It is conceivable

that white supremacy groups are trying to neutralize the crime committed against blacks by

the whites. It may not be a coincidence that it works favorably for Trump.

I feel so angry why the hell the protesters do not block the looting!!!! No matter what, looting is looting, only ruining the intention and aim of the protest! Watching the scene of looting boils my blood, only to help Trump after all! Simply pathetic to Black!

P.S. I received concerning letters today from friends in Slovenia, Slovakia, Korea, and Italy after they all watched the riot here at Washington DC last night! I lost the words to express my feeling properly.

Go Home, Atlanta major spoke out

Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said to the rioters, "Go home".

I absolutely agree with her. She could be Biden's running mate.

(YTN: Trump, extreme leftist incite the riot)

Social distancing in U.S. major cities are completely ignored. The country is in chaos

and our president is Trump.

She is absolutely right!

Why the hell they don't use the brain to fight back to the White majority through the VOTING to get rid of the white trash

like mother fucker Donald?!

'Looting and burning' only make them look bad, giving the ammunition to white suprematists to continue to kick them around

like dog.

I still remember the riot at L.A. to have burned down Koreatown!!!!

BB Lee

P.S. I still remember such bitter feeling/lament to Koreans in L.A. by the black, quoted by one prominent black urologist at UCLA I have known years as a colleague over the dinner: " Koreans come to their stores in black town by Mercedes to make the living based on the black people and drive back by Mercedes to their house in white people town"; "Korean store owners simply throw the money to the black clients instead of handing over!".

‘The Minnesota Paradox’

1ambriefing-minneapolis-articleLarge-v2.

Protesters in front of the 5th Precinct in Minneapolis on Saturday.Victor J. Blue for The New York Times

Minnesota’s Twin Cities metro area has one of the country’s highest standards of living by many measures: high incomes, long life expectancy, a large number of corporate headquarters and a rich cultural scene.

But these headline statistics hide a problem: The Twin Cities also have some of the largest racial inequities in the U.S.

Incomes for white families are similar to those in other affluent metro areas, like Atlanta and Los Angeles. Incomes for black families are close to those in poorer regions like Cleveland and New Orleans:

01the-morning-minneapolis-chart-articleL

By The New York Times

Samuel L. Myers Jr., an economist at the University of Minnesota, has named this combination “the Minnesota paradox.” Because the area is predominantly white, the racial gaps can get lost in the overall numbers.

Now, these inequities have captured the nation’s attention, after the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police sparked nationwide protests. Several other recent high-profile police killings have also taken place in the region.

Why does the Twin Cities have especially deep racial problems? The region is in many ways a microcosm of the country, albeit a more extreme one. Decades of government policy and private-sector decisions have given benefits to white families that black families haven’t received. (A new article by John Eligon and Julie Bosman goes into more detail.)

When the region built an interstate highway in the 1950s, it spared white neighborhoods but tore up a black neighborhood, in the eastern part of the Rondo area in St. Paul, that was “rich with institutions, like churches, social centers, and clubs,” as Quartz reported.

Working-class white families were able to buy their first homes in the mid-20th century — and start building wealth — with help from federal loan programs that excluded black families, as Richard Rothstein explains in his book “The Color of Law.” More recently, banks have been more likely to turn down black loan applicants, Myers found, even after controlling for income and credit risk.

Consider this recent stat: About 76 percent of Twin Cities households headed by a white person own their home, compared with 24 percent of black households.

“We so want to believe we are not racist,” Doug Hartmann, chairman of the University of Minnesota sociology department, has told The Star Tribune, “we don’t even see the way that race still matters.”

For more: “Minnesota, the longtime Democratic presidential stronghold that Donald Trump nearly won in 2016, has suddenly become ground zero in a campaign that already promised to inflame racial and cultural divides,” Politico writes.

There were violent protests in 140 cities in the U.S. last night. COVID19 and

social distancing did not matter. Daily new cases in California have increased

sharply for a few days. Trump likes rather to see the nation divided than united.

While Beijing is getting ready to move in Hongkong, Trump may be contemplating

to mobilize military forces to crackdown violent protests. I wonder which one is

in the love of human rights.

If violent protests continue and COVID 19 gets out of hand, depression is inevitable.

The credit of the U.S. will hit the bottom and creditors will demand the U.S. to pay. The biggest

creditor is China. It will be ugly and tragic.

(CNN: Trump tells governors to dominate)

He is unable to lead. He does not persuade people.
He is a dictator who uses force to suppress anyone who does not follow him.

Unfortunately, Trump's America is hard to distinguish from Xi's China.

Ya, right "The whole world is laughing"
