HomePolitical NewsNational Guard Deployed After Riots, Looting Ensues Minneapolis Police Shooting Keely Compson April 12, 2021 The National Guard has been deployed to Minneapolis, where riots and looting have begun after police shot a black man who was trying to flee arrest. As the trial continues for former officer Derek Chauvin, charged with the death of George Floyd, 20-year-old Duante Wright was shot by police less than 10 miles from where Floyd died.

Wright, who had an outstanding warrant, had been pulled over around 2 p.m. Sunday — and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several blocks, police said. His mother had quickly raced to the scene — and called for calm as crowds soon joined her there, local media said. The claim from #DuanteWright's mother & #BLM activists that he was killed by police over air fresheners is unsubstantiated. There was a warrant for his arrest. He resisted arrest & got back in the vehicle & tried to speed off. He nearly killed others during the failed escape. pic.twitter.com/nVyqPpJeyl — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) April 12, 2021 But within hours, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune — many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed. “Hey! They’re coming!” a man was heard yelling on one video that captured several people running out of a looted store with their hands full of stolen items as nearby car horns repeatedly honked. Other videos appeared to show groups doing victory dances as they left completely trashed stores. A gas station convenience store was looted clean by #BLM rioters overnight in Brooklyn Center, Minn. Rioters & protesters are responding violently to the police killing of a wanted criminal suspect who tried fleeing by vehicle. #DuanteWright pic.twitter.com/ctRa6Y5bFl — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) April 12, 2021 Once again, a criminal is being hailed as a hero and Black Lives Matter banners are being carried through the streets. I am not saying that the boy deserved to die, but he was a criminal fleeing authority. What exactly did he expect? A cookie?
