Thread on the #Minneapolisprotests:

There are many important questions circulating, here’s answers to a few of them:

1. Why did they #riot, to begin with?

2. Wasn't #GeorgeFloyd committing a crime, anyway?

3. Why was @Target subjected to the rioting?

4. But we're not at war, so even if that emotionally feels right, why attack @Target?

5. But the #Minneapolisprotests was inherently #violent, so the #police were just responding to violence with more of it.

Now that I've got your attention, thank you to Dheeraj Chand, whose text I used for this thread! He's a really smart guy....
