Another Black Lives Matter demonstration spiraled out of control yesterday, when protesters hurled bottles, rocks and chemical spray at Minneapolis police.
Some police supporters are calling for the cops to take harsher action against the protesters, who shut down a highway just days ago.
The protests have mainly been related to the death of Jamar Clark, 24, who was shot in the head during a confrontation with two police officers.
Police said he was a suspect in an assault and was interfering with paramedics trying to treat the victim. Police said there was a scuffle, and Clark was shot.
Protests have continued since then, with tensions escalating again Wednesday night as a crowd outside the precinct office near where Clark was shot grew. At one point, a chemical spray was directed at officers, police spokesman John Elder said.
Police later reported that several officers sustained minor injuries from rocks and bottles that were thrown and said several squad cars were damaged.
The president of the Minneapolis police union, Lt. Bob Kroll, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Clark was shot while struggling and trying to “disarm” the arresting officer.
The officers involved in the shooting were identified Wednesday as Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, both with seven years of experience including 13 months with the Minneapolis department. Their race wasn’t released because it’s private under state law.
The shooting took place on Minneapolis’ north side, where the population is predominantly black and generally poorer than the rest of the city. The four neighborhoods nearest the shooting are 53 percent black, according to 2010 census data. The city as a whole is 60 percent white.
Chuck Samuelson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Minnesota, said tension has risen as police have stepped up their presence in high-crime areas.
Minneapolis police Deputy Chief Medaria Arradondo said the department and is working hard to build trust.
“Even in the midst of protests and demonstrations, we will continue to have important dialogue and conversations to keep moving forward,” he said.

Here comes race hustler Al Sharpton
What ever happened to peaceful demonstrations, Respect for the police.. Time these people went to jail.
If demonstrations turn violent it is time for the police to use as much force as need to stop the violence.
Your so correct. How do we even know if these so called demonstrators are even a citizen of the US. Just shot them down like the dogs they are. If not for the Police, these same demonstrators would Rob, murder and burn everything in their way., they have no respect for other people or property.
Please don’t shoot dogs, they are sweet loving animals. Civilized people don’t act wild and murder, steal and burn everything in their path. They are out of control wild primates and should be back in Africa. Police need to stop acting like whimps and use force, water cannons to start with, if that doesn’t stop the primates then just delete them.
I guess they WANT to be attacked. yes, use bullets, how about machetes and clubs. First find out who is the leader and whatever!
why in the hell it time for our kind to be put in jail, you sound like the rest of these racist ass people. People like u need to go back to europe like my kind needs to be in africa, we didn’t volunteer to come here, your kind brought and force us here.
That’s a lie .different tribes sold the natives from Africa. Learn your history .and the ones living today had NOTHING to do with that then,so get a life for yourself and stop using excuses.
When Lincoln freed the slaves, he should have put them back on ships to Africa.
These ppl have no idea what they are doing they are out of work uneducated sloths who want attention … if any of them are educated it was by happen chance & they have done nothing to progress only stay rooted in the me myself & I life of I ‘s gots to have my rights or else and defy rules regulations and laws at all cost.
This is what is wrong with the USA if we can’t control our on cast of misguided and militant characters how can we ever rid ourselves of ppl who want ALL OF US DEAD
Black Community had better wise up and take stock of how the members of Black Lives Matter are keeping good ppl down by their dastardly deeds.
Way past time. P/C has gotten way out of control. Stop all this stupid crap protesting marches and in the colleges. Hey, there are a lot of folks that have paid their way through higher education. Why should you idiots be given a free ride? Take a poll of how many had to work and get loans to get through. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE should have freebies, work for what you want. You might just learn to appreciate the fact you did not have a hand out for ANY FREE stuff. College sure does not seem to be educating young folks these days. Acting like animals will NEVER get you respect! Think it will help your record for a good job?
It is a disgrace that blacks continue to be allowed to act like terrorists and think that the color of their skin should allow them to break the law Obama has helped to set the blacks in this country back a hundred years with his attitude their intelligence has nothing to do with race it is entirely do to their upbringing and feeling of entitlement!
I hope someday a black cop shoot someone in your family to see you all reaction.
They have and nothing was said,not even on the news.
Did you go to “ebonics” school to learn that jargon? Get with the program. No wonder some people believe you people are still primative. Some immigrants here only 8 to 10 years have a better vocabulary than you people that have been here 200 years. Why? Welfare bums, lazy, indifferent or what? Your education is “free”. I had to pay for mine and my children because I am “pink”.
Shows what kind of person you are. You should wish harm on anyone. What if it was a black cop shooting instead of a white cop? Ya we never see anyone from your culture complaining about that. I think no one and no race should ever act the way some of you people do. Every person that direspect law enforcement is wrong. If you resist arrest, attack a police officer. You deserve to get shot. A police officer should use whatever force nessasary. No matter what race you are. Anyone who act like these people do should be permanently removed.
Hey the white cops get shot in cars not even on duty? Obey the laws, stop acting like animals, respect others no matter what color of skin they have. We did not request to be born white, did you ask for brown skin. The only REAL differences are our thought processes. Respect is earned, not a given………………There are a lot of white poor and homeless, stop feeling sorry for yourselves and find something worth while to work for in your life. HATE is not the answer!
That’s for sure all he wanted was their votes not he has other interests.. bringing MX & Terrorists to US as another hopeful crew of Dem Voters or a means to rid the US of Conservatives & Good ppl who only want to work get educated and have a reasonable good life.. BUT NO Obama wants mayhem and chaos for all
Agree This also has Valeries name all over it………………..Chaos>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Stick it where the sun don’t shine a-hole. You break the law, you go down. End of story.. You’re so brave, go yell at some innocent white girls, coward…
Cut off all welfare and free phones and anything else they get for a reward for not getting a job.
Just round them up, put them in cattle trucks and ship them back to Africa.
I am very curious why you are a racist. I hate the way Asians drive. but I believe they have as much rights to drive and work and live in the USA. I hate the way black women drive as well. They think they are the only ones that matter on the road and if they need to stop to look at something in the middle of the highway,they will! Being indifferent is what they do. Not all but some do. That makes me a racist? I mention to my black,strike that, Afro-American friends why do they feel they are able to be so indifferent about other drivers rights, not having to deal with uncaring drivers. I driven close to 2 million miles,for personal and business and I find Asians and black women the worst drivers. If a poll was taken, I think there would be many well traveled drivers that would agree with that. I also believe that the Police are a big club and once even Afro-Americans get involved in the police they turn on their own people as well. Yes they should let people have peaceful protests,but they never stay peaceful and the people not involved with these protests have the right to walk by without being intimidated. Which does not happen for the most part. When demonstrations start being totally peaceful, maybe the powers that be will let them be.
It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit. Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks. Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple or illegal voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Jim, or did Conrad write The Jim of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks. We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them (blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics) – as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums. One might think that a single set of laws should and would apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is, sadly, not so. The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive.
If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow. But when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are “teens.” Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press. Much of their mastery has become so deeply engrained as no longer to be noticed. There is the DC Hesitation. In the bars and restaurants of Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice, and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear: The DC Hesitation. People don’t even know that they are doing this. Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a realist? Dare one speak? One of them will say something mildly skeptical about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The secret handshake. Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation. So extreme is the power to control speech and even thought, that politicians have to avoid mentioning watermelons, or that neighborhoods of high crime must delicately be called “sketchy” instead of “black,” though all understand who lives there and what is meant. The avoidance of racial reference is not an even-handed if despotic attempt to oppose racism since, as we all know, blacks freely apply any derogatory wording they choose to whites. In short, they rule. Which is amazing.
The dominance extends to children. When in junior high one of my daughters brought home a science handout with common chemical terms badly misspelled in a way which suggested a particular speech pattern. “Is your teacher black?” I said without thinking. “Daaaaaaady!” she said in anguish, having made the connection but knowing that she shouldn’t have. Blacks control what you can say to your own children in your own home. And of course if I had gone to the school and demanded that the teacher be fired, it would have been evidence of my depravity and probable KKK membership. The word “unbelievable” has lost all force. Things that ought to be unbelievable, and once were, have become routine. Still, there it was: Don’t expect a junior-high teacher to have the level of literacy I had in the fourth grade. Instead, make it dangerous to notice their stupidity. This is not new, and it hasn’t changed. In 1981, in a piece for Harper’s, I wrote:
“The bald, statistically verifiable truth is that the teachers’ colleges, probably on ideological grounds, have produced an incredible proportion of incompetent black teachers. Evidence of this appears periodically, as, for example, in the results of a competency test given to applicants for teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida, cited in Time, June 16, 1980. To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level. Though they all held B.A.’s, 25 percent of the whites and 79 percent of the blacks failed. Similar statistics exist for other places.”
Nothing has changed. Blacks now control the presidency and thus, most importantly, the Attorney Generalship. In this the staggering political power of blacks is most evident. Obama was elected because he was black: an equally unqualified and negligible white politician would have had no chance. He is now fiercely pushing the most profound transformation of America ever attempted, by opening the floodgates to immigration from the south. To effect this end he apparently will simply ignore Congress and the Constitution. The people will not be consulted. Laws will be ignored. It is hard to imagine why he does it except from racism, from a desire to get even with whites by enrolling their country in the Third World. A short-sighted policy, yes, since Hispanics do not like blacks and will soon be more powerful-but that will come a bit later. Note that self-inflicted problems of blacks consume inordinate amounts of public and governmental attention, even though only blacks can solve them. I might say, “should solve them,” since they never have and we all know they seem to have no desire to do so. Yet we hear about them endlessly. Are blacks in Chicago killing each other in large numbers? The solution might be to stop doing it, might it not? While I do not wish these young dead, I can do nothing to stop them, and it is not a problem I can solve. Are black children growing up illiterate? This gives me no pleasure, and I have various reasons both selfish and moral to wish it were not so. But perhaps the solution is for their parents, or parent, to see that they do their homework, or even to teach them. I cannot do this for them, and again it isn’t my problem to resolve. Why do I have to hear, endlessly, about the “achievement gap?” Whether of genetic or cultural origin, it seems as immutable as Avogadro’s number, and I can do nothing about it. I raise my children. They need to raise theirs. They rule. It is astonishing.
I don’t know what book this Kailyah is reading , but it is just as twisted and foul as the author. Go back to your Third world and Dictator. No more Foreign aide.
Put the snow plow blade on loaded dump trucks & send them out to clear the roads of the dirty snow. You don’t have to run them over the plow will throw them out of the way.
POLICE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SWEEP THE STREET WITH 12 GA. SHOT GUNS IF A ROCK OR BOTTLE IS THROWN AT THEM, THIS IS ATTEMPTED MURDER AND POLICE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEIRSELVES.
Strange. Throw a rock or bottle at any person and you can be charged with “assault with a deadly weapon” UNLESS you are black and the target is a cop. Then it is your right. That sucks. Too much welfare aid and “free” benefits and you get a bunch of “black lives matter” losers.
Get over it. If your people have a better life in Africa then go there. But here we have laws established to protect all of us. Every one must obey them as it is our social protection from radicals such as Black Lives Matter. Just obey the laws. Being black does not give you the right to disobey the law. You are no different than us “pink” people. When you think you are different and don’t obey law someone is going to get hurt so don’t blame “pink” or any other color – blame your selves whatever color you are. Every life matters.
please go back to school and learn to put a proper sentence together. exactly what some of the comments here are coming from..
Watch these racial protests show up all across the country. They are being orchestrated by our Saul Alinsky trained president. If America gets out of control he can declare martial law and we will be stuck with him forever.
Exactly and I’ve been saying that for a long time. He’s waiting for a terrorist attack to declare a national emergency but if that fails this civil unrest will do fine sometime before his term is over. They have come to far to just walk away now so now it’s a waiting game to which event will occur first as the clock winds down.
You are 100% true that’s the plan and any excuse to declare martial law.He will not leave office on his own he will have to be removed by force.The only hope is for our military to arrest him and remove him.He is black and that’s why the Washington politicans wont remove him they are scared to death of him.
Well said. I agree 100%.
Should have quit playing with these terrorists long ago.I would get the very high pressure fire trucks out and let disperse them with some cold water,if that don’t work alot heavier persuasion.
When will the country realize that these are terrorists too? Just fools following one who is feeding their need for attention.
It’s time for the military to step in
That would be Martial Law, The police could handle it fine if just allowed to.
These people screaming black lives matter need to get a life. Don’t they get it. ALL LIVES MATTER. Life has no color.
What about “cop’s lives matter”? They already get crap wages for dealing with people that feel they should be able to do whatever the heck they want. If we continue to be soft on these hoodlums this crap will never stop.

If you attack you need to know you will be shot arrest them send them to getmo so tied out this is bull, that our cops can’t even defind their self so tired of bleeding hearts stand up for the garbage that break laws rob destroy you act like a mad bog you get a bullet same as the gangs our gov. dose nothing about.
These people are just another form of terrorism.
But that won’t happen as long as Obama is in office
These protestors are hateful and have no respect for authority. If they would stop committing crimes, we wouldn’t have these problems. If they would use this much effort to protest black on black crime, there wouldn’t be the problems that we are seeing now.
You, of course, are 100% correct. The problem is that they have no chance of “hitting the lottery” if they concentrate on black-on-black crime. If they “get” the police, they stand a chance of at least hitting a $6.5 million lottery. It’s a matter of simple economics.
all part of ovomit/satan the ineligible treasonous war crimes racist muslum terrorists in the wh,and his unconstitituional adminstration agenda21{new world order}ovomit knows exactly what he is doing.to divide races and religions and gender.and bring the debt to smother and destroy america.open borders and santuary cities so illegals{Means against the law}aliens/drug cartels/muslum terrorists can come into the usa and not have to worry about being deported or arrested.so illegals can multipe and vote in other illegals.starting to get the picture of this muslum traitor in the wh and his agenda21{new world order}don,t believe me just research ovomits history for yourselfs.add the racist doj lorretta lynch another racist as bad as eric{i,m in contempt of court}holder and add well placed puppet judges.to the police warm this racist trouble makers once or twice to stop throwing bottles rocks.and make sure you record everything.this way when you have to go down there throats we both feet it will be well documented.remember police people your lives matter to
You will likely find a George Soros organization funding BLM, keeping the pot stirred in Alinsky fashion — a means to the end they desire — chaos, riots, and the call for Marshall Law. Americans will mistakenly call upon the government to restore civility, which is exactly what these bastards want — the end-game to bring about their plan which Mr. Muslim will jump on! You can’t just declare Marshall Law, but you must first create “the false need” for it, right in line with Alinsky protocol!
I agree.
Strange and scary how “Black Lives Matter” too! has morphed into only “Black Lives Matter”
These useless pieces of society are going to be BEGGING the same police to protect them when the Moslems come after their asses. All these people being murdered, mutilated, tortured, raped, little girls and boys sexually abused and then lined up in mass open graves and murdered, and these low life pieces of shit want us to feel sorry for them. NOT HAPPENING.
The Black Lives Matter rent-a-mob is alive and well. Now would be a good time to ask where these chronic protestors are getting their money to cover living expenses. If it’s coming from government “entitlements” the money supply should be turned off. If these people had to work to support themselves they would have less time and energy to create trouble.
This group is a communist org.trying to stir up trouble in the U.S.When they spay chemicals at the peace officers,do as the Chicago cops did in the 1968 Democratic convention!Enough is enough!We have enough problems with muslem terrorists without communists causing unrest.Criminals get what they ask for wrestling with our cops!
put them all in jail
As a white who grew up in Depression conditions most so called Millennials regardless of race would find deplorable, I find it incredible how many use the Internet to make abrasive, vulgar, racist comments which cannot help and effects, if any, may add to the problems we share. Yes, ALL lives matter comments should not bother anyone, except maybe a little irritation that it digresses from the Black Lives subject, and the vast majority of law enforcement personnel are necessary, dedicated, helpful public servants who may react adversely to insults or open refusal to follow reasonable, legitimate instructions, and Vry few of us are going “back” to live in our ancestral continent . So PLEASE read over your comments and ask yourself if they are likely be helpful or harmful to race relations. If the answer is harmful, what’s the purpose? Maybe you’ve let off enough steam by preparing the comments or can find a harmless method, so please delete before or instead of activating Post Comment..
Now add the Cloward-Piven strategy into the equation — driving the numbers of the “entitlement community” to heights that will overload the capitalist system, which Obama is doing, and your seeing 60-70’s Chicago-Columbia U. plan come into fruition in our day. Alinsky, Ayres-Dorhn, Cloward-Piven, Hillary Clinton, Obama are all the same peas in the pod with socialism/communism the primary goal. Lenin, when asked the difference between communism and socialism — communism is just socialism “in a hurry”. They view themselves in this system as “the ruling elite” guiding the stupid masses to the more politically correct communal way. BLM and the anti-law enforcement movement, along with pitting the masses against the 1% rich (or even just those who work their asses off to make a living and provide for their families) — that is part of the game plan. Then you roll in a group which never intends to assimilate into American society (the Muslims — case in point, Europe), and the plate is being set right before your eyes!!!
IMO the current problems within the black community have been instilled by muslim operatives. This stuff just doesn’t happen, It is taught by Islamic people that have created a muslim type attitude among some blacks? Muslims have no sense of nationality, just a sense of being muslim. They have taught many blacks over the past several decades to have no sense of nationality. Just a sense of race. Black power. America has been polarized over race by muslim operatives. Blacks have been weaned away from Constitutional govt. Just like islam is polarized over religion with their civil war between sunnis and Shiites. A 1399 year old civil war. This is detrimental to blacks themselves. The people using them and leading them down the wrong path are muslims. And the muslims don’t give a hoot about black freedoms and black lives don’t matter to muslims. The only thing muslims care about is islam and will use/manipulate anyone to try and subjugate the world. It is not the police nor whites that are exploiting these protestors. Muslims are race to cause trouble, not religion. They seemed to have tried to stir up trouble in Europe using any left over resentment towards jews? It did not take root and grow in Germany.
And soon the population will be Muslim.
I`m horrified by most of the comments above. The question here is surely (a) whether American police are too trigger happy and (b) do they have an inbred racist tendency causing them to shoot black people more readily than white? I would like to see set against these recent worrying figures of police black deaths brought about it seems far to lightly, whether a similar number of police deaths of white people in similar circumstances have taken place over the same period – if so it may serve to mitigate any claim of racial bias in the deaths and concentrate attention instead on -what strikes many non-Americans- that US police are far to trigger happy, perhaps resulting from a culture that treats possession and use of these lethal weapons much too casually. The original circumstances that gave rise to every citizen having the right to possess a gun have long since ceased to exist and now is surely the time to restrict mass gun ownership.
You are a little off base there. I don’t have a gun but would rather more did, then maybe it would deter the thugs that have them. At least more guns in LEGAL hands would be better then thugs. The big problem coming will be the muzzie against blacks and illegals. Everyone will have their hands out and who will be first in line for freebies? Wanna guess? Eventually the well will run dry, then what?
Are you just horrified, Terence??? Do you know what “a failure of civility” is, Terence? On an elementary level that is the rioting of Ferguson or Baltimore. Take this level of the failure of civility up a few notches, and all hell will break loose — to the degree that local law enforcement will be overwhelmed. People like you will be calling upon Big Brother to come in and restore order using the National Guard and US Military (thus, Marshall Law will be declared … just look at what France has done in response to the Paris attacks, which will be minor compared to “a failure of civility”!!). Included in this will likely be the confiscation of fire arms out of the hands of the “law-abiding” citizenry (good luck!!!). But you, Terence, won’t have to worry about that because you will have already been eliminated (and whatever family you have) in the first wave of the failure of civility since you refuse the idea of possessing a weapon to defend you and your family. The criminal element intent on doing evil (or the failure to the point that people are “doing whatever” killing others for food, water, etc.) — they will certainly have weapons, and not legal ones that were purchased after a NICS background review! Now, the other side of this matter is defending one’s family against an evil and tyrannical government. Governments are best impeded by an armed citizenry (just common sense), and clearly when the people are disarmed, there is little resistance to the ruling elite. The 2nd Amendment states — “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” — this clause does not refer back to “the militia” (the militia is made up of people, but “the people” are not necessarily the militia; which is why the wording in this amendment is fashioned the way it is in order to differentiate the two — otherwise the clause would read “the right of this group *i.e., the militia* to keep and bear arms”). So, Terence, while you are trying to restrict mass gun ownership (such an evil thing!), I will be trying to restrict mass automobile ownership because those damn automobiles are just killing too many people (trucks too!!!!!!).
