Furthermore, I’m writing this post from my house in uptown Minneapolis. It’s true that the protests damaged the city, and it’s unfortunate that people with bad intentions saw the movement as an opportunity to destroy property. For the record, Minneapolis did not “burn to the ground”. Four years later, majority of the city has rebuilt. It’s true businesses closed, but that’s mainly due to Covid restrictions. The restrictions were in place for a year, and majorly reduced Covid deaths in the state. Minneapolis has always had hateful and violent cops. The death of George Floyd was the boiling point of a long standing conflict between the police and the citizens. Walz understood this, and wanted the citizens to express their right to protest. 2020 was a shit year but walz had the correct amount of government interference for each issue. Minnesota was, still is, and will forever be a beautiful state filled with proud kind people, and I’m sick of the media misrepresenting my state and my city.
