Well it must be Kemo Sobi
"Ke-mo sah-bee
Ke-mo sah-bee is the term of endearment used by the fictional Native American sidekick Tonto in the American television and radio programs The Lone Ranger. It has become a common catchphrase. Ultimately derived from gimoozaabi, an Ojibwe and Potawatomi word that may mean "he/she looks out in secret", it is sometimes translated as "trusty scout" or "faithful friend".Wikipedia"

It's OK to Be White
Yes. Me being a racist is why multiracialism never works. The fact that multiracialism never worked anywhere in the world, including before I was born, is a result of me, specifically, being a racist.
Anyone calling that area a "food desert" doesn't know the neighborhood at all. Across the street from the 3rd precinct was a Cub foods grocery store and in the same block a Target that sold groceries. 2 blocks up Lake Street from there is an Aldi's grocery store.
Thanks for the clarification.
I think someone was trying to conjure up the image of a Watts that was a waste land.
Lots of guns and Trump supporters staging a protest. No incidents reported (not even a littering fine).
The protests going on right now
Then there's this;
"A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing an American flag from a memorial commemorating service members who have given their lives in defense of the United States, lighting it on fire and then throwing the burning flag onto a police car."

Why are armed protests nonviolent and the supposed peaceful protests turn violent and destructive?
All of these clowns with guns remind me of Islamic State jihadist.
Yet they are not violent. Do you give the violent protesters a pass?
Police officer arrested, to be charged with murder, manslaughter.
Hell yeah! It's not like it's the responsibility of those violent looting thieving arsonists, is it? I mean from such outstanding citizens and all...

I believe the same few people that were carrying the fireworks, were the arsonists in this crime spree. I also believe they will eventually be caught and apprehended and charged with arson. There are way to many street cameras and eye witnesses.
As for the looters, I also believe many of them will have been captured on store cameras. Both Target and Dollar Tree store cameras are monitored at corporate headquarters centers. So, I can guarantee you there is a lot of evidence once these crimes are investigated.
All of the looting and arson could have been prevented if the Police Department had of strategically planned for safe demonstrations and properly put teams in place to prevent arson and looting.
You have to remember, that Minneapolis has as many Police officers as the people in the crowds last night.
The Police Department failed at every level.
SSDD may 4, 1970. Same stupidity Different descendants 2 generations later trained to perform the same way their grandparents did staging Kent State.

We could have really used you in 1775.
That may be possible and I hope they're caught and punished. I'd bet they don't have the money to pay for their destruction, though.
I hope the looters are caught too, but I'd be willing to bet they won't.
I have no idea how many police are in Minneapolis, but I also question why the locals won't protect their own places of business. But again, I live in a completely different "setting."

No. But they are wearing masks.
People keep needing to have it explained to them that you don't require social distancing when you're all wearing masks.
Is that the Lesson to be learned here?

No, because more than two months in, and people still haven't learned.
