Let me be clear if the Cops didn't crack down in Mpls there would have been dead in the streets

There still maybe.
The neighborhoods are arming.

What is absolutely fantastic is that the protestors have lost no support. The city remains behind the cause.

Too many of the places we work at and shop at and go to have been burned down in the last 3 nights, and last night it got real scary in some residential areas too. So I don't think many people see what is to be gained continuing the marches and all that after dark, given all the destruction that has been going with it. They just want the burning and looting to end.
