If the demographics were inverted it would be headline news on CNN. There would be calls for Trump to make a statement, and denouncements against him if he didn't do it quickly enough. I love how the news reports on the brutality spree call it "finessing," claiming that the victims were targeted for being drunk. Not, because, you know, for other reasons. The police try to allude to it, but the news won't go there.
One of the incidents happened on Aug. 3 near Target Field. According to the criminal complaint, the footage shows approximately 12 males attempting to take a cellphone from a male victim, viciously beating him. The suspects are seen ripping the vicitim's shoes and pants off and then going through his pockets. The victim is noted to be punched and kicked in the head several times throughout the altercation. At one point, the complaint states the victim is thrown to the ground -- left motionless -- then repeatedly jumped on, hit with planting pots and ridden over with a bicycle. Once police arrive, the victim and all suspects involved are gone.
According to Elder, robbery is up 46% in downtown Minneapolis from last year. In a three-week period in August, there were 47 robberies, and the prize each time was a smartphone.
- Robbed him of his phone
- Stripped him naked
- Punched, kicked him
- Spat on him
- Bodyslammed him
- Jumped on his chest
- Whipped him with a belt
- Rode over him with a bicycle
- Threw garbage at him

Sounds like just another day in Minnesota.
Another former liberal.
Just another reason for concealed carry. All we would have had to do is wound one of them and the rest would have scattered.
Minneapolis has become a crappy town, due to "diversity". I guess the liberal Minneapolis/St.Paul city government has it coming- they created it.

I understand Minneapolis started to go downhill when they agreed to accept some former residents of Chicago housing projects into their public housing. Similar things happened to other small Midwestern cities.
At the same time a number of missionary organizations began resettling Somalian refugees in Minneapolis. In retrospect it was a preview of the Merkel's migration crisis.
Just great. This had to be Black people doing this. All this aside, there is a better question ito ask: Why did said individuals do this?
Understand, I don't blame this on "diversity". I just moved to another city. It's about 30% Black and I hardly ever hear about "mob attacks" occurring where I currently live. Alot of reckless driving, alot of homelessness and junkies, but not the mob violence.
I'm not going to watch it. I'm pretty sure it's the one the news played a few days ago that caused my conservative-leaning husband to fly into a rage and start screaming when I was trying to take a bath after a 12 hour day at work. I told him he was being played by the news trying to get him all wooped up against liberals. He looks like the victim so he identified with the victim. Criminals beat up innocent people every day. It's not enough to only get outraged when the victim looks like you.

I've been one of those persons beaten up/jumped by thugs. It's happened to me at the hands of Black males AND White males. I got jumped one night and my money stolen. Thankfully, the persons involved went to jail. A few kids threw rocks at me one afternoon.
I think the outrage takes place not just when the victim looks like you. There is also outrage when the assailant DOESN'T look like you. I'm Black and I've been assaulted by people who look like me and people who didn't look like me. At the end of the day, it didn't really matter who did it, but why said persons did it, and the results.
